Dubrovnik - Hvar transport options in May 2011

I am wondering how I can get from Dubrovnik to Hvar in the same day during the spring season?
I seem to need to take the afternoon bus from Dubrovnik to Korcula, but from there will I be
able to get an evening ferry or transport from Korcula to Hvar?

Hi,

as for the current ferry-time-table (from 01.01.2011 until 31.12.2011) you won't get an eving ferry from Korcula to Hvar island (Stari Grad). I just found one which starts on thursdays and sundays at 13:00 in Korcula and will arrive in Stari Grad (Hvar island) at 16:40.

Please have a look at the national ferry carrier Jadrolinija:
jadrolinija.hr/ (English version available - upper right corner)

or directly at the time table at:
http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/K%C3%9CSTENLINIE%20%202011.pdf

It's very difficult to give specific instructions - please look at the URL I provided above and see if there's a date and time slot that is ok for you. Please note that you can also book online through their site.

Hope that helps!
All the best,
Tobias
