      Included in this tour is 7 breakfast, Explore tour leader, Driver for all listed activities, 7 nights in a comfortable hotel, All included activities in the itinerary. Accommodation and service levels in Croatia are generally very good. On this trip we stay in a number of smaller, family-run hotels that might not offer the same luxuries as larger chain-style hotels, but they do provide a warm welcome and a comfortable place to stay. As with the nature of hotels in this part of the Mediterranean, the size and standard of the rooms can vary.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten June 2026

      Some hikes on this tour feature uneven or rocky terrain, so walking poles can provide extra stability and comfort as you explore. Fit hikers will find the routes a satisfying day out, while less - fit walkers may find them challenging but manageable. Please note that the tour is graded as Moderate; however, during the Croatian summer, those unaccustomed to hiking in hot conditions may find it more demanding.
