The Croatia Trip

Party • Active • Beachy

For the love of medieval fortresses, turquoise Adriatic waters, and cave-bar hopping — add historic city-wall stays, hidden island cruises, and epic sunset views. That’s our Croatia trip.

Welcome to Croatia!

8 Days / 7 Nights

Starting At $5,299

Up To 16

Croatia is like that effortlessly cool friend—always down for a good time, knows all the hidden spots, and somehow makes every day feel like summer. Think: crystal-clear waters, medieval stone towns, epic sunsets, and yes—party boats that go off.

This group trip is built for 20- and 30-somethings who want more out of their summer. We’re talking island hopping along the Adriatic, golden-hour swims, and beach days that turn into dance-all-night kind of nights.

You’ll explore ancient cities like Dubrovnik and Split (Game of Thrones fans, get ready), chase waterfalls at Krka National Park, and indulge in fresh-off-the-boat seafood with a group of like-minded solo travelers who are here for the same reason you are—to make new memories and new friends.

Let's Get Social

How much should I budget for meals and extras?

+

-

Croatia’s food scene is delicious and varied — fresh seafood, pasta, grilled meats, and Mediterranean flavors. Meals are affordable, especially when shared, and you’ll find great options whether you're dining seaside or snacking on the go.


We recommending planning to spend around $300 USD, depending on your personal consumption habits.

Should I expect ferry delays?

+

-

This trip includes ferries and coastal transfers, which are a beautiful part of the experience – but schedules can change due to weather or port logistics. It’s best to bring a little patience and enjoy the ocean views along the way.

I have dietary restrictions. Will there be options for me?

+

-

Yes, we can usually accommodate most dietary needs. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are common in major towns, though less so in smaller coastal spots. 


Let us know in advance and your guide will help you navigate menus. Bringing snacks or staples you love is a good idea if you have specific preferences.

What are the accommodations like?

+

-

We stay in well-located, boutique-style hotels and guesthouses that balance charm, comfort, and convenience. In Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik, expect walkable neighborhoods and a welcoming vibe. 


Some properties are smaller or more rustic, but all are chosen for their atmosphere and access to the best local spots. Shared rooms are standard, and private upgrades are available in limited quantities.

What should I pack?

+

-

Croatia in summer is all about sunshine and the sea. Bring light, breathable clothing, swimwear, and sun protection (hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are musts). You’ll want comfy shoes for old-town walking tours and day trips, and something you feel great in for nights out. A modest layer is smart for any historic sites, and insect repellent is helpful near the coast.

Any recommendations if I'd like to extend my time abroad?

+

-

If you’re looking to keep the adventure going, you can hop over to the Greek Islands for more sun-soaked days and island hopping or north to Scandinavia for Nordic cities and lakes. Italy, Slovenia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina are also just a short ferry or train ride away if you want to keep exploring.

What's the weather like in Croatia?

+

-

Croatia’s Adriatic coast enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine, dry summers, and inviting seas.


  • Late spring (May–June): Warm and sunny, with highs around the mid 70s °F (~24 °C). Evenings are mild, and the sea begins to warm by mid-June.

  • Mid-summer (July–August): Hot and dry, with highs near the mid 80s °F (~29 °C). Expect clear skies, light coastal breezes, and warm sea temperatures ideal for swimming.

  • Early autumn (September): Pleasantly warm, with highs in the low 80s °F (~27 °C). The sea stays comfortable, and evenings gradually cool with fewer crowds.

When should I arrive and depart, and how do I get to the hotel?

+

-

Plan to arrive at Split Airport (SPU) by 2:00 PM on Day 1 so you have time to check in and settle before our first group activity. Taxis and Ubers are easy to grab at the airport and take around 30 minutes to get into the city. 


On Day 9, you’ll fly out from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) — we recommend departing after 11:00 AM to allow time for checkout and transfers.

What’s the pace of the itinerary?

+

-

This trip moves at a fun, active pace. You’ll hop between cities and islands, with plenty of time for swimming, sightseeing, and social dinners. Expect a few early mornings, some boat rides, and lots of group activity. It’s energetic but balanced with free time to explore or chill.

What’s the vibe of this trip?

+

-

Think sun-soaked islands, ocean swims, lively nights out, and a tight-knit group of solo travelers. The energy is upbeat and social – perfect for those who want to explore, make new friends, and dive into Croatia’s beachside culture. From yacht days to ancient cities, it’s a dynamic mix of fun, adventure, and Mediterranean magic.
