Croatia: Jewels of the Adriatic
7 Days / 6 Nights
2025 Dates TBA
Experience the stunning beauty of this exciting destination from land and sea. Each day brings the opportunity of an active adventure with time to relax and soak in the fabulous surrounds and services of beautiful accommodations. This is a true multi-activity trip, with hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking and yoga. As always, the food is delicious. Our small group will explore the highlights as well as some off the beaten track surprises. Our bespoke adventure begins in the ancient walled town of Dubrovnik and ends in Split or Dubrovnik. (Your choice).
One of the marvels of this delightful country, is the resiliency of the people and their incredible efforts and success to bring back a war ravaged land and rebuild to a top notch, very popular destination. So please book soon to avoid FOMO!
Day 1
Check into your hotel anytime before 2:30pm. If you arrive early, bags may be stored. We meet in the hotel lobby at 2.30pm for our first activity. We will walk through a bit of the old town to the trail head where we begin our hike up to Mt Srd. If you choose not to hike, you can take the cable car or a taxi. We are treated to amazing vistas on our hike and will enjoy a complimentary, refreshing beverage at the top! It’s a cable car ride back down. Our welcome dinner with wine tonight is at a wonderful restaurant in the old city.

Walking/hiking-1.5 hours
Day 2
After a hearty breakfast, we are met at the hotel by our very knowledgeable guide, for a private walking tour of Dubrovnik, highlighting important historical events. For any GOT fans, this is right up your cobbled alley! After the walking tour, we pick up our luggage and meet our boat for a private transfer to the island of Sipan. This island is not a usual pick on most organized tours. It is my “hidden secret” and very far removed from the glitz and glamor of the other islands. Sipan moves to the beat of its own drum.
