About Hvar Life
Hvar Life is a dedicated cycling tour and bike rental operation based in Stari Grad, Hvar's second-largest town and the arrival point for most car ferries from the mainland. Their shop sits right at the port near the ferry ticket office, making it easy for arriving visitors to grab a bike and start exploring immediately. They stock a range of bikes including mountain bikes, carbon-frame road bikes, and e-bikes to suit different fitness levels and riding styles.
Their guided cycling tours are the highlight — routes wind through the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain, past ancient stone walls and lavender fields, through hilltop villages, and along coastal roads with views across to the Pakleni Islands. Self-guided options come with detailed route maps and recommendations for wineries and restaurants along the way. E-bike hire is popular with visitors who want to cover more ground without arriving at every stop drenched in sweat.
Hvar Life has earned consistent praise on TripAdvisor for their friendly guides, well-maintained bikes, and knowledge of the island's quieter backroads. For cyclists who want to see the real Hvar — the lavender, the stone, the olive groves — rather than just the harbour bar scene, this is the operator to book.
