Coastal Croatia for families

Today, you'll meet a local guide for a private tour of the unique city of Dubrovnik. Wander the cobblestone streets of the old town before enjoying free time to use your Dubrovnik Pass, entering sights including the city walls.

Today, you'll have a chance to see Dubrovnik from a different viewpoint as you take to the Adriatic Sea by kayak. Your guide will show you around the city walls and explore this unique coastline. You will be part of a small group and have the chance to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters whilst visiting a secluded cave too. Spend the rest of your day in a museum or relaxing at the poolside at your hotel.

Leaving Dubrovnik, you'll board a public ferry for the three-hour ferry ride to the island of Hvar. You'll check into your hotel in Hvar town and have time to enjoy the waterfront promenade and beaches.

Get out on the water today on a full-day shared boat trip. Visit the Blue Cave on Biševo Island, followed by visits to hidden bays and caves around Vis and the Pakleni Islands. There will be plenty of swimming and snorkelling opportunities, time to explore some quaint villages and grab lunch too.

Take in Hvar’s scenic interior on a full-day shared jeep safari, visit abandoned stone villages like Malo Grablje and enjoy panoramic views of Saint Nicholas, the island’s highest point. Discover the steep vineyards of St. Nedjelja, taste traditional Croatian cuisine, including Peka, at a family-run tavern and relax with a swim at Soline Beach near Vrboska.

You'll make your way to Hvar's main ferry terminal along the bay to board the ferry to Split. The ferry trip lasts approximately one hour and will drop you just next to Split's waterfront "Riva", where staff from the hotel will be waiting to help with your bags. Later this afternoon, meet your private guide for a walking tour of Split, uncovering the city's history, the highlight being exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Diocletian’s Palace.

This morning, you will head to the tiny village of Blato na Cetini, 50 minutes southeast of Split. Here you will have an exhilarating shared rafting experience. You’ll be equipped with a wet-suit, life-jacket, water shoes and helmet before paddling downstream to the rapids, guided by experienced instructors. You will have opportunities to swim at a few of the stops during the experience too. This afternoon, you will be at leisure to relax or further explore Split.

Visit Krka National Park, a series of waterfalls, cascades and lakes. Walk the trails to enjoy the various viewpoints, as well as a scenic boat ride. During this full-day shared tour, there are opportunities to explore at leisure, swim, add on a wine and cheese tasting, and take time for lunch.

After checking out, your driver will collect you from the hotel and transfer you to the airport in time for your onward flight. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
