Travel Croatian Islands your way
The Elaphiti Islands work perfectly for families since there's something for everyone. Our family groups spend their days sea kayaking to hidden beaches, trying stand-up paddleboarding in calm bays and biking across Sipan's easy terrain between olive groves and vineyards. Kids especially love snorkeling in the Green Cave, playing Picigin in the shallows and joining local cooking classes in people's homes. Most families stay on quieter Lopud, using daily ferries to reach spots around Dubrovnik Bay and also the nearby islands.
See all Active toursFor cyclists looking to explore the Dalmatian coast, we've mapped out routes that combine seaside roads with inland paths through wine country and olive groves. Starting from Split, you'll ride south with daily distances from 25 to 62 kilometers. The e-bikes come in really handy for those uphill climbs to viewpoints above Hvar town - our riders always mention how much they appreciate that option. You'll pedal through white stone villages and past old quarries, with plenty of stops at family wineries and olive farms along the way. Our cycling guests particularly like how the routes mix challenging rides with cultural visits, whether that's wine tasting in Korcula or exploring Ston's medieval fortifications. Having support vehicles means you can tackle those hills at your own speed, and we've picked overnight stops in harbor towns where you can cool off with a swim and also enjoy fresh seafood dinners.
See all Bicycle toursExplore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Croatian Islands. We have 6 adventures that vary from 4 days to 11 days. With the greatest number of departures in June, this is also the most popular time of the year.
See all Coach / Bus toursMost of our island explorers choose to go by sail, especially on the routes from Split to Dubrovnik. The 52-foot yachts work really well since they can slip into smaller coves where bigger boats can't go. Our travelers tell us they love the mix - active mornings swimming in sea caves and kayaking near limestone cliffs, then lazy afternoons checking out village life. Some routes focus on wine areas like Peljesac Peninsula while others spend more time in national parks - Mljet's got these amazing salt lakes and an old Benedictine monastery. The best trips leave room for unexpected stops at quiet beaches and also local konobas where the seafood comes straight from the morning catch.

"We were on a boat - Omega Kiss which had mosquitos on board which had access to our compartments. Interior paneling that allowed us to see in our neighbors compartment. Trash in bathroom not being picked up , need for pans and utensils in kitchen - our door knob kept falling off. The Captain could care less about providing a trip that we were comfortable with -He was In a hurry to get to the next port- only sailed for several hours even though we had fantastic opportunities to sail our last days. Would motor to our final ports without stopping to swim and have lunch just so he could get off the boat. Tour Radar attempted to add charges after our final contract and would not let us cancel what we knew was bound to be an awkward affair . Our departure price was reduced and Intrepid should honor their lowest price guarantee . Not a good experience at all - Intrepid promised the moon and didn't at all deliver. really regret having anything to do with trip - felt cheated and overcharged.

You'll get to walk through Krka's waterfall-filled forests, taste wines in sunny Hvar and finally dock in Dubrovnik.

Top Croatian Islands travel itineraries to fit your plans
Looking at week-long island routes from Split to Dubrovnik, you've got some really solid options. Active cyclists can cover 25-45km each day, rolling through old villages in Brac and following Hvar's coastal roads. One popular route takes you across the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain before reaching medieval Korcula. If you're more into swimming and nightlife, there's a route that hits spots like Makarska's cave bar and also Hvar's Carpe Diem club. Our travelers often tell us they love starting their days with coastal rides, then spending afternoons sampling wines at local vineyards. For a cultural angle, you can explore Split's Diocletian Palace and Dubrovnik's city walls with expert guides, plus find time for swims in quiet bays and visits to small fishing communities.

The 10-day sailing trips give you the full Croatian island experience - they kick off with a night in Split before you board a premium boat with private cabins and plenty of deck space for sunbathing. Mornings might find you kayaking near Dubrovnik's walls or cycling in Mljet National Park, while afternoons are perfect for swimming in secluded bays. You'll walk Korcula's marble-lined streets and climb to Hvar's Spanish Fortress to catch the sunset.

Demographics
The islands work really well for solo travelers, especially our 8-day Split to Dubrovnik sailing route that balances group time with personal space. You'll share a traditional yacht with 8 others, making it natural to connect while exploring the islands. Another solid choice mixes sailing with guided tours - it's great for meeting people as you explore Vis island's military tunnels or join optional wine tastings. Our local skippers know exactly where to stop for morning swims and which family-run konobas serve the freshest seafood dinners. You get a comfortable twin-share cabin and plenty of deck space to either socialize or find a quiet spot with a book.
Young adults looking for culture and good nights out will love our premium 8-day sailing tours. During the day you'll walk through Hvar's historic sites, then experience the island's buzzing nightlife after dark. We include guided walks through medieval towns but leave plenty of free time for kayaking near Dubrovnik's walls or joining spontaneous beach parties. There's also a popular route starting in Zagreb that takes in Plitvice Lakes before heading coastward - perfect for mixing national parks with island life. Our travelers really appreciate how these tours balance structured activities with free time, whether that's group dinners at local wineries, discovering hidden beaches or checking out bars and clubs.
Our 8-day Dubrovnik trip works brilliantly for families, combining kayaking, swimming and also cycling. Parents love how the active mornings let kids burn energy paddling to Sunj Beach or jumping from cliffs into secluded caves, while afternoons give everyone time to relax. There's a lovely route through Lopud's quiet bays where your family can join locals playing traditional beach games like Picigin. Having a support boat means you can easily adjust each day's activities, and our guides really connect with kids while sharing local culture. The families who travel with us particularly mention how much their children enjoy snorkeling in hidden coves, playing group games on sandy beaches and taking scenic bike rides through Sipan.

May is really the sweet spot for our island-hopping tours - the weather hits that perfect balance for exploring. We've got several well-rated tours that blend sailing with cycling, letting you pedal through Hvar's lavender fields in the morning and cool off with afternoon swims in quiet coves. The routes run 6-8 days from Split down to Dubrovnik, and you can choose daily rides between 25-45km depending on how energetic you feel. Our customers love stopping at family wine cellars and traditional olive oil makers on Korcula. If cycling isn't your thing, the yacht tours are a great way to discover hidden beaches and ancient harbor towns at your own pace. You'll find the spring temperatures ideal for hiking Mljet National Park and walking Dubrovnik's walls without fighting through summer crowds. The local skippers get fantastic feedback - they know exactly where to find those perfect swimming spots and authentic local restaurants that tourists usually miss.

Our island programs really open up in summer with something for everyone. Sailing tours head out from Split harbor several times a week, with options from cozy 8-person yachts to premium vessels featuring air-conditioned cabins and professional chefs. Most summer routes mix morning swims around the Pakleni Islands with afternoon visits to Vis's Greek ruins or Lastovo's beautiful Venetian buildings. We've created specific routes for younger travelers that combine island visits with evening entertainment in Hvar town and also Makarska's cave club. The summer BBQ nights in quiet bays are always a hit with our customers, along with guided walks through Korcula's medieval center. With support vessels nearby, you've always got a comfortable spot to rest between activities.

Looking at Croatia's top bike tour companies, Laganini stands out for getting the details right - their bikes are properly maintained, you'll sleep in quality hotels and the meals really showcase local Croatian cooking. Our travelers keep mentioning how much they enjoy those regional dishes after a good day's ride. Intrepid Travel's "Explore Croatia" tour has earned solid feedback, especially for their Croatian guide who knows exactly when to add those extra special touches. They're good at keeping everything running smoothly without making it feel too rigid or structured. TourRadar's combo trip "Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice" has had some bumps - mainly last-minute switches with hotels and route changes that caught people off guard. But when it comes to the sailing portion, Katarina Line Cruises consistently delivers great service. Their ships are comfortable, the crew really takes care of their guests and they've picked some beautiful routes along the coast. The nice thing about Katarina Line is they've figured out those perfect sailing routes that let you see the islands without spending too much time at sea. Their crews know just how to balance organized activities with free time to explore.
