We accurately measure the CO2 emissions of your tour and 100% offset them through planting the required amount of trees.
SPLIT
Landing in Split, you'll jump on your included airport shuttle bus transfer to take you to the hostel near the Old Town. Once checked in you’ll have plenty of time to refresh before meeting everyone else in the group. Tonight we’ll get our first taste of the laid-back Croatian lifestyle as we head out for dinner and drinks.
MAKARSKA
This morning is free to grab some breakfast and check out the sights of Split, and at midday we're climbing aboard a premium boat - home for the next 7 nights. With en-suite cabins, air-con, and multiple sundecks for topping up our tans... the island-hopping lifestyle awaits! As we start sailing the Dalmatian coast we’ll have our first three-course lunch on board, then jump straight into the water at our first swim stop. Arriving in Makarska, a town framed by beautiful mountains and long beaches, tonight there’s plenty of time to explore.
MLJET
Today we’re cruising to Mljet, a tranquil protected island in the heart of the Adriatic. Our boat will anchor in a secluded bay getting us acquainted with the Croatian routine - swim, eat, explore, repeat. After another feast of locally sourced food (think grilled meat and fresh veg), our boat will dock in town so we can roam the National Park by bike. Breeze in our hair, sun on our skin, if this isn’t paradise, we don’t know what is.
DUBROVNIK
While we’re snoozing our boat will drift to the bucket-list ticking city of Dubrovnik. Poised elegantly on the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is famous for buildings filled with history, its magnificent walled Old Town, and plenty of Games of Thrones filming locations, of course! We'll start with a kayaking trip to check out the view from the water, followed by a guided walking tour of Old Town. After the sun goes down we will dine at a local restaurant before seeing what Dubrovnik’s bars and clubs have to offer. Party in a fortress, anyone?
TRSTENIK
Leaving Dubrovnik, we’ll drift past olive trees and vineyards as our captain finds a hidden bay for us to anchor. Practice your flips, go for a snorkel, enjoy an ice-cold Ozujsko, it’s another tough day in paradise. Later this afternoon we’ll dock in the quaint fishing village of Trstenik. Famous for wine, we’ll wander the sun-dappled streets and take in Croatia at its most authentic. This evening we’ll dress a little fancy for the captain’s dinner and enjoy a few drinks on deck.
KORCULA
After another stint at sea today we’re docking in Korcula, one of Croatia’s charming island towns. Ringed with walls, paved with marble, and built around a stunning 15th Century Cathedral, Korcula is a mini-Dubrovnik without the tourists. We’ll show you the sites, then the balmy summer afternoon is yours to explore the Venetian Old Town. Foodies will love the elegant restaurants on the town’s fringe, and those inclined towards a cocktail have plenty of sunset bars to seek out.
HVAR
You know the drill - first up is our swim stop and lunch on board, then this afternoon we’re heading to the glamorous town of Hvar. Playground of the rich and famous, this is where super-yachts meet Renaissance architecture. Rising above terracotta rooftops, we’ll climb to the Spanish Fortress for one of the best views in Croatia. Sunset on the horizon, tropical beats in the air, by now we’re fully immersed in the island vibe. With plenty of bars open ‘til the early hours, if you want to have a big night, Hvar is the place.
SPLIT
It’s our final sailing day, but there’s plenty more mainland action to come! We'll drift into Split this afternoon and be greeted with amazing views of the Riviera, then explore the fascinating sights with our included Split walking tour.
SPLIT
After a final breakfast on board, we'll wave goodbye to our crew and head to the famous Krka Waterfalls. Photogenic and otherworldly, chasing these beautiful landscapes under the Croatian sun is the perfect way to round off our trip. On the way back to Split we'll grab lunch in the beautiful old town of Skradin. Tonight we wrap up our trip with a final dinner and drinks to toast to the incredible time we've had.
SPLIT
Your unforgettable 10 day adventure comes to an end today. Those flying home will make their way to the airport, or keep living the dream and extend your stay in Split with our help and the new friends you’ve made.
Making a positive difference to the amazing destinations we travel is at the core of what we do. Small Change is our own socially conscious initiative aimed at making the world that little bit better place to explore!

The best time to visit Croatia is during the summer months, from May to September. Summer and the shoulder months bring balmy temperatures and sunny days ideal for sailing turquoise waters!
This tour features 2 nights in Split, and 7 nights on a premium boat. Our Split hostel is modern, clean and spacious, with mixed gender dorm rooms fitting up to 20 people. Each bed has it's own curtain for privacy. Our premium boats have air con, ensuite bathrooms and are twin/double share rooms, however you will find them a bit smaller than a typical hotel room. Good news is our boat has plenty of space for relaxing, including multiple sundecks!
Travel days in Croatia are easy - the boat does all the work for us! Every morning we sail from the early hours until midday, and this time is perfect for lounging in the sun, playing games, and getting to know the group. We usually dock in our destinations after lunch onboard around 3pm each day.
Kayaking and cycling are included activities which require average fitness, and we spend a lot of time swimming and walking around cities. It is highly recommended you can swim to fully enjoy this tour. We spend a lot of time onboard, and while the Adriatic Sea is very calm, if you regularly suffer from sea sickness this may not be the tour for you.
Yes, there is a €60 pp port fee that you will be required to pay in cash to the Captain during your trip.
