Day 2 - Split
River adventure
Fuel up on breakfast in preparation for an adventurous day on the water.
After breakfast, we’ll head to Cetina River Canyon, where you’ll get to go white water rafting — the Croatian way! Float down the river and tackle some rapids for one of the best ways to experience this country’s natural outdoor beauty.
Once we’re back at the hotel, the rest of the day is free to explore as you wish. Make sure to check out Split's many popular restaurants and bars.
VIBE
Day 3 - Hvar
Summer vibes
Enjoy an early breakfast at the hotel before jumping onto a ferry to head to the summer resort Island of Hvar, where we’ll spend time exploring and getting to know more about the beautiful island.
In the afternoon, we’ll whisk your bags off to the hotel and head to a local beach bar on the outskirts of this medieval town, where you can spend the day tanning, lounging on sun beds, and drinking cocktails surrounded by amazing views of the water.
That evening, have dinner with the crew at one of our favorite local taverns.
Jedi! JEDI!
JEDI!
Day 4 - Hvar
I'm on a boat
Wake up and enjoy breakfast at the hotel.
We’ll then spend the day zooming around islands on private boat with your travel crew! This is a great way to experience Croatia’s memorable blue waters and sunshine, away from the crowds, while sunbathing, swimming, and hanging out before a lunch stop.
We’ll head back to Hvar that evening and the rest of the night is yours.
PLUNGE
Day 5 - Dubrovnik
history
Fuel up on breakfast before taking a ferry to Dubrovnik. You’ll get settled into your hotel, just outside of Old Town on the Lapad Peninsula.
In the afternoon, you’ll get to explore and take a tour of Old Town to witness its immense 16th-century, stone-walled structure and learn about its fascinating history.
Just before sunset, you and the group will take a cable car ride up from Old Town to take in the amazing views over the city.
Return to Old Town for a night out!
UNWIND
Day 6 - Dubrovnik
BLUE WATERS
Wake up and enjoy breakfast at the hotel before heading out for a day on the water.
Today you’ll go kayaking in pairs around the Old Town walls to truly experience just how tremendous this incredible structure is. You’ll kayak to a nearby island to find swimming holes and a prime snorkeling spot to take a dip in the water.
Head back to Old Town and the rest of your evening is free.
CRUISE
Day 7 - Dubrovnik
FREE DAY
Today is a free day.
We recommend exploring the town, shops and local sites, or turning this free day into a day trip to Mostar in Bosnia! Or, if you’re a GoT fan…we recommend the Game of Thrones tour of Old Town or taking a quick ferry to Lokrum and checking out the GoT Museum.
That evening, we’ll regroup for a farewell dinner to celebrate the end of an amazing trip.
Day 8 - Dubrovnik
farewell
Today is our last day in Croatia. We’ll share one final breakfast together before we all go our separate ways.
Check-out is at noon, but the hotel will be happy to store your bags should you take a later flight (which we recommend!).
"Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don’t want to be most of us." — Oberyn Martell, Game of Thrones
