Adriatic Tours & Trips
The Adriatic is calling with its laid-back charm. Visit the island of Brac's that welcomes ferries regularly, while enjoying local wines and olive oil. Head to Vidova Gora at 778 meters with stunning Adriatic views, while Hvar’s beaches and historic towns are a must. Fifteen islands maintain unique personality, so Croatian island-hopping means ferry schedules become your rhythm. Come explore these beautiful islands.

I did a review for G Adventures a few hours ago.The trip could not have been bettered. Just the right number of other passengers, no-one smoked,.our captain was very professional, the boat was very clean, kitchen utensils were of good quality, the toilet/shower facilities at the marinas were first rate and it was traven experience I had not had before.
Sailing Italy to CroatiaGreat trip planned by Gulliver Travels; from the moment I requested information to the end of the trip, Ira and Dora were available to answer all of my questions and assist me with any requests. Communication was great the entire time via the Tour Radar website. I was able to make a couple of changes to the rental car dates/pick-up and drop-off locations, which saved me some money as, in my opinion, a car is not needed in Zagreb. The hotel accommodations were quite good and conveniently located. Yes it was a lot of hotel changes but that is the nature of a self-drive tour. I would say the amount of time spent in each location was appropriate. There was an issue at one of the hotels and while the hotel chose not to try to remediate the issue, Dora was proactive and Gulliver Travels reimbursed me for part of what was an unnecessary expense caused by the hotel - an example of the excellent customer service provided by Gulliver's employees. The only suggestion for improvement I can think of would be to have more activities available for an extra fee; I took advantage of one city tour (in Zagreb), it was quite good. It would have been nice to have other add-on options as well but I understand how much overhead would be involved in this and why Gulliver does offer it. It worked out fine; I did my own research and booked a couple of food tours on my own, as well a ferry trip from Trogir to Split and a guide in Split for a day trip. Highly recommend Gulliver Travels and the 11-day self-drive tour.
Best of Croatia 11 Days, Self-DriveOur guide, David, & his assistant, Brusje, were EXCELLENT, SUPERB. Highly recommend them. The hotels were mediocre though, except Korcula, which our “room with a view” was fantastic. The hotel in Kastela was 1-too far out of town/Split, & 2-inadequate accommodations. The hotel in Havar area looked like an old dormitory, quite run down. Our first expwriwnce with Tour Radar (our booking co) was a few years back, in Ireland, & it was excellent; we booked through Tour Radar again for this trip through Croatia but with the poor quality of hotels, will not be booking with them again.

Best time to visit Adriatic
- Summer 2026
Summer tours naturally lean into swimming, sailing and culture. The island-hopping routes take you to hidden bays around the Pakleni Islands and sea caves near Sipan. Our travelers tell us they love starting with early walks through old towns before it heats up, then cooling off at spots like Zlatni Rat beach later on. Sailing trips mix busier stops like Hvar Town with quiet coves perfect for paddleboarding and snorkeling. As evening comes, we often visit places like Dubrovnik's walls when the heat drops and the light turns golden for photos.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings that sweet spot for active coastal trips. The September and October weather hits just right for our cycling groups - warm enough to swim but perfect for pedaling through Brac's olive groves and Korcula's vineyards. Walking tours can really take their time in places like Mljet National Park's pine forests and lakes without summer crowds. It's also when we catch local olive oil tastings and wine harvests in full swing. Our customers say they love how the mellower temps and quieter towns let them get closer to local life and traditions. Based on their guide Luca, Outdoor Croatia really knows how to keep families happy with activities that work for everyone. Kids and parents tell us they love getting out on the water for stand-up paddle boarding and working up an appetite with some cliff jumping - though there's no pressure if you prefer to watch. The day wraps up nicely with a proper Croatian dinner at a local farm where everything's fresh from the garden. If you're after a cycling holiday with some extra comfort, Laganini has built quite a reputation. They've got the logistics sorted with quality bikes and carefully chosen hotels, plus they make sure you're well fed with some really good local food along the way. Our travelers consistently give Intrepid Travel solid feedback for their Croatian tours. Their local guides actually live in the areas you're visiting, which makes a real difference - they know exactly where to take you and can share genuine local knowledge rather than just tourist facts. Katerina Lines runs good cruises with excellent food and well-planned stops, though some of our customers mention they'd prefer adult-only sailing options. Their crew is professional and their excursions hit the right spots, but if you're after a quieter atmosphere you might want to check when families are less likely to book.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter along Croatia's Adriatic brings a different pace - it's when we focus on cultural experiences and inland spots. Split's UNESCO sites like Diocletian's Palace feel more intimate without the summer rush. Our routes mix Zagreb's museums and galleries with historic coastal towns, while some head to Sarajevo and Montenegro's Bay of Kotor where clear winter skies open up incredible views. Local guides know just where to take you for authentic Dalmatian food and regional wines in warm, cozy cellars that feel miles away from the winter chill.

- Spring 2027
By spring, conditions are just right for cycling and sailing the coast. Cyclists cover about 35-45km each day, winding through Korcula's medieval lanes and past Hvar's hilltop vineyards. The April and May sailing conditions really deliver - steady winds and calm seas make island hopping a joy. Over at Plitvice Lakes, walking tours catch the waterfalls at full power from the winter melt. We always work in cultural stops too, like visits to Trogir's UNESCO old town and local wineries just opening their doors for the season.
