Best of Croatia Multisport
This Croatia multi-activity holiday will show you Croatia’s highlights over 8 days while keeping you active through various daily excursions. You will visit some of the most beautiful parts of our country as we start from Dubrovnik and slowly travel north towards Split, Plitvice Lakes and Zagreb.
We will cruise, paddleboard and cycle along the coast of the Elaphiti Islands and Mljet Island National Park. We’ll kayak and canoe on two different rivers: Zrmanja and Trebizat. We will walk in Krka River National Park and finally hike in the exquisite Plitvice Lakes National Park. Our adventure will also take us to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia’s neighboring country. Mostar is the town where East meets West.
Here, the spirit of the long-gone Ottoman Empire can still be felt at every step. Local food and wine are an inevitable part of this trip. Together with the itinerary, they guarantee a beautiful, authentic Croatian experience. We recommend this trip to travelers who have limited vacation time, but still want to see the best of Croatia’s great outdoors. Different activities and sceneries each day will make every moment of this Croatia multi-activity holiday exciting and memorable.

DAY 1 – Arrive in Dubrovnik

If you are worried about staying on the boat, rest assured – we have land options available for you as well, just let us know. The first stop is Kolocep island, where we will swim, paddleboard and hike. After lunch break, we cruise towards Sipanska Luka, a charming and romantic fishing village in a bay surrounded by palm trees. With hardly any traffic, it is a perfect destination to explore on foot or by bike.
Note: We recommend arrival in Dubrovnik one day before the trip and can offer accommodation conveniently located for boarding at 10 am. It is possible to catch up with the group if you have a later arrival, too. If you arrive after 6 pm, you may miss the last boat to the island and need to spend the first night on land.

Note on the itinerary:
We sail when the weather and itinerary allow it. Sailing is our preferred mode of transfer, and our skippers are very experienced, but sometimes a choice needs to be made between getting somewhere in time for a meal or sightseeing or raising the sails and turning off the motor.
