Sail across the Adriatic to glamorous Hvar, where historic architecture meets beachside elegance. Explore hidden coves, sea caves, and sunlit islands on an exhilarating day of island-hopping. Swim in luminous waters, explore rugged coastlines, and toast to adventure in Palmižana Bay. En route to Dubrovnik, stop at a vineyard nestled in the Pelješac Peninsula for a taste of Croatian terroir.
End your trip in majestic Dubrovnik, a city suspended in time. Walk the ancient city walls, ascend Mount Srđ by cable car, and uncover stories of resistance and resilience in the Homeland War Museum. As day turns to dusk, the terracotta rooftops and Adriatic waters glow in golden light — the perfect setting for reflection on a journey rich in beauty, heritage, and discovery.
Day by day
This is a sample plan, not a fixed departure. Days can be added, removed or reordered, and almost every client changes something. Prices are an entry-level guide; your quote will be exact.
Day 1: Arrival in Zagreb
Arrive in Croatia’s capital, where you’ll be met by a private driver and English-speaking assistant for a seamless transfer to your hotel. Settle in with your personalised Welcome Package and begin exploring Zagreb’s charming old town with a private guide. Hidden at the base of Medvednica mountain, the Upper Town weaves a story of medieval streets, secret societies, and architectural gems. Uncover its layered history as you stroll cobbled lanes and hear tales of dragons, witches, and the uniting of two rival towns.
Day 2: Zagreb to Split via Plitvice
Travel south with your private driver to Split, stopping en route to explore the UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park. With your local guide, walk along wooden footbridges that crisscross emerald lakes and cascading waterfalls. Marvel at the ever-changing hues of the water, shaped by sunlight, minerals, and centuries of movement. Conclude your day in coastal Split.
Day 3: Split
Delve into 1,700 years of history on a private tour of Split, centred around the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace. Wander Roman streets, Gothic courtyards and Game of Thrones filming sites. Discover medieval churches, hidden alleyways and vibrant market squares. In your own time, enjoy the oceanfront Riva Boardwalk — a lively promenade lined with palm trees, cafés and yachts, perfect for a sunset stroll.
Day 4: Split to Hvar
Take a scenic catamaran from Split to Hvar, one of Croatia’s most celebrated islands. Spend the afternoon exploring the town’s blend of historic elegance and modern flair. Visit the 13th-century walls, the hilltop Fortica Fortress and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, or head to a beach club or seaside restaurant for a leisurely afternoon.
Day 5: Island-Hopping from Hvar
Set sail for a full-day island-hopping adventure exploring Hvar’s dazzling surroundings. Swim in the ethereal Green Cave, visit the famous Blue Grotto, and discover secluded Stiniva Cove on Vis Island. Whether snorkelling off Budikovac Island or venturing into Vis’s military tunnels, this day is tailored to the group’s pace. End the journey at Palmižana Bay, a jewel among the Pakleni Islands.
Day 6: Hvar to Dubrovnik via Wine Country
Return to the mainland by catamaran, followed by a private scenic transfer to Dubrovnik. Pause at a family-owned winery on the Pelješac Peninsula, where you’ll taste award-winning Croatian wines paired with local delicacies. After this indulgent interlude, continue to the walled city of Dubrovnik — a Mediterranean masterpiece waiting to be explored.
Days 7–8: Dubrovnik & Departure
Uncover the wonders of Dubrovnik on a private walking tour of the Old Town and its imposing medieval walls. Learn how this UNESCO World Heritage city was both fortress and sanctuary, home to centuries of culture and resilience. Visit the Franciscan Monastery, ride the cable car to Mount Srđ for sweeping views, and explore the Homeland War Museum at Fort Imperial. As the sun sets, wander the glowing stone streets or seek out one of our favourite sunset spots with your tailored guide notes. Prepare for departure with memories steeped in history, beauty and Adriatic charm.
