We skipped the Green Cave as I could not imagine anything better than the Blue Cave. Our guide Frane was friendly and informative. The downside is that there is not enough explanation on the site about what's available. For example, at the Blue Cave there are bathrooms, and you can also buy snacks and beer! Lunch is pretty late, so it should be clearly stated as to what time that occurs. Since I had read several reviews…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 144 reviews · 3 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $72Best value

Pick up a quality pedal-assist e-bike from Antonio Rent in Hvar Town and follow a phone-based route at your own pace. Choose a shorter loop or the harder ride to Stari Grad, with stops at lavender villages, quiet beaches, Milna, Pokonji Dol, and Fortica.

“I absolutely LOVED renting an e-bike while on Hvar! Antonio Rents makes it so easy - they provide the digital map via WhatsApp, information on where you are going/what you will see, and all the equipment (lock, helmet, handlebar bag) to explore outside Hvar town. The e-bike was so fun to ride and allowed me to go beyond town - Brusje, Malo Grablje, Milna, Pokonji Dol, Spanish Fortress! Bring water (it was a HOT day) and a swimsuit as there are multiple opportunities to swim as well. Such a fun experience - HIGHLY recommend!”
