The adventure

Croatia’s stunning coastline calls on this nine-day adventure through historic towns and dazzling Adriatic islands. Explore Dubrovnik from every angle — on foot, by kayak, and from a cable car ride to the mountain's peak. Hop on hydrofoils and high-speed catamarans to discover the islands of Korčula and Hvar, then sail by private boat to the Pakleni Islands for a day of walking, swimming, and sun-soaked bliss. Wander Split’s old town and hike to the breathtaking Krka Waterfalls. With a perfect blend of action, culture, and mouthwatering food, Croatia will capture your heart and leave you craving more.

Take in the long stretch of the Adriatic coastline as your plane makes it's descent As the high stone walls and medieval buildings come into view, imagine life here thousands of years ago and perhaps even the occasional dragon beating its wings in the distance. We welcome you to Dubrovnik and to Croatia, and we invite you to unleash your sense of adventure and imagination as you discover the best of the country's coast and islands.

Often the best views of the city are actually from outside of it. Put that theory to the test as you paddle a kayak along the historic city walls, exploring hidden caves and stopping to swim and snorkel. Back on dry land, you'll swap the views from the water for views from above as you ride a cable car up nearby Mount Srđ for breathtaking vistas of Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands.
