What To Expect
Nugal Beach
Enjoy a short photo stop above Nugal hidden bay in Makarska, one of the most famous hidden beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Known for its dramatic setting below the cliffs, naturist history, and wild untouched look, Nugal feels very different from the usual town beaches. After heavy rain, a seasonal waterfall can sometimes be seen above the beach, which makes this viewpoint even more special for photos.
Zlatni Rat Beach
Spend 50 minutes at Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most famous beach and one of the most iconic spots on the Adriatic. Known for its long pebbled horn that changes shape with the wind, waves, and sea currents, this beach looks slightly different almost every day. **Guests are dropped off and picked up directly at the beach dock, giving them easy access to swim, relax, or take a walk along one of the most photographed beaches in Europe.

5.00This was an excellent experience, Petar and the crew were lots of fun and excellent operators. We left the Makarska harbour on time on a beautiful luxury speedboat (very quiet too). The opportunity to swim in a few different bays was amazing. Having time to explore Hvar was well worth it and the recommendation to dine at ‘Let’s Taco Bout Hvar’ was great - excellent food!! The whole trip was excellent value for money. Thank you!

5.00Such a fantastic trip. The speed boat was thrilling. Max 12 per group and what a lovely group too. Great bunch of people. The Golden Horn- Bol, Brac island first stop was lovely and chilled. Waters clear and calm. Off then to Pakleni Island for a swim stop. I didnt swim (didnt want to get my hair wet!) But the bay was beautiful. Then Hvar Town which was the initial reason I booked this tour as most stopped at Jesla which we did not want. Hvar town is so pretty lots of alleyways with shops and eateries. So happy we got to visit (in style too!!) This is a lovely place and 3hrs sufficient to get a flavour for the place. Plenty of time to stop and eat some great food and a beer walk around the town. Last stop was another Pakleni swim stop again beautiful and not too long if you dont want to swim. Again our group was really sociable and such fun. On the way back to Makaska we were lucky to see some dolphins. We stopped to taken it all in. The tour was fab, fun with lovely stops. We would highly recommend this tour. Well worth the price. Peter and the driver of the boat joined in the fun and safely got us about the location. Thank you Palladium!!!
Absolutely Fantastic day had by all!!

5.00One of the best excursions you can do in Makarska! The boat is beautiful, comfortable and you have enough space with the group. The stops are perfectly planned, beautiful and of the duration exactly fitting. The staff was also very nice, explained a bit about the stops and the music made the vibe even better. Recommended!!
Great day on the sea

5.00On this nine-hour speedboat excursion from Makarska, we had an amazing time. The well-planned schedule included time for exploring, swimming, and relaxing in addition to beautiful boat rides. We visited a number of stunning spots, such as Nugal beach, two islands in the Pakleni archipelago, and the well-known Golden Horn on Brač. The three-hour break in Hvar town, where we went to the Spanish Fortress (Fortica) for a breathtaking panoramic view, was the high point for me. We also wandered through Hvar’s old town, visited the historic theatre—one of the oldest in Europe—and passed by the charming old clock tower known locally as Leroj. Our skipper was professional, amiable, and a wealth of local knowledge, particularly regarding the best places to eat and drink in Hvar. The boat was comfortable and the whole tour was well organized. We had just the right balance of sightseeing, swimming, and free time. Definitely one of the best experiences of our time in Croatia.
