From Korcula: Brac Island by Yacht and Golden cape beach

10. From Korcula: Brac Island by Yacht and Golden cape beach

Bol is situated on the island’s southern side, at the foot of Vidova Gora (Vid Mountain) which is the highest peak on Brac island as well as the tallest point across all the Adriatic islands at 778 meters. The Bol area stretches for kilometers along the spectacular coastline and features many beautiful beaches, among which is the world famous beach Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). This beach is a unique natural phenomenon whose sandy peninsula extends nearly half a kilometer into the clear blue sea like a small tongue. It “grows” with the depositing and sedimentation of small gravelly pebbles around the underwater reef, and the tip of the beach is constantly changing its shape, attempting to conform to the will of the waves and gentle sea currents. Today, it is a center for the island’s tourism and one of the most sought-after destinations in the Dalmatian Riviera. After swimming, snorkeling or stand-up paddle boarding on this stunning beach, enjoy a delicious Dalmatian lunch aboard our luxury yacht.

My 6 year old son and I were the only ones on the tour with Tino. It was a fantastic day and I’m so glad that we did it. Tino was an absolutely amazing driver and guide - he provided lots of detailed history and information throughout the day but also went above and beyond in making the various stops extra interesting and relevant for my son. The jeep itself was loads of fun, and lunch was delicious and our hosts were so friendly (and what a beautiful, tranquil spot). I’d highly recommend this to anyone - it was an unforgettable day!

It was a really good tour. The meal was at a Croatian home and the food was excellent. The olive museum was worth a visit. Great day out.

Tino was an amazing guide. This is a must do tour with amazing views and authentic food!

It was very seamless to have tickets before hand and right on my phone.

Great way to quickly get to the Golden Horn Beach!
