My personal tips for the trip Hvar to Dubrovnik
- As I mentioned further up in the text, the ferries does not sail direct, but stops on Islands on the way, and having window seats, just gives you better access to the scenic views!
- Bring drinks and smuggle some food onboard, 3.5 hours on a boat is a long time, so you will need some refreshment, you can buy some onboard, but it is way cheaper to bring it.
- The Wi-fi as well as mobile network quality might be limited on some parts of the trips, so i would recommend to download some films and music prior to the trip.
- As the luggage storage is usually very full, make sure to grab anything you need from your luggage prior to boarding the boat.
- The Sea is usually calm during summer month in Croatia, but if you should be sailing on a day with more wind, you might consider taking a Sea Sickness Tablet before.
