What people love about Adriatic Tours
- Impressive Croatia
Great tour, guide and company! Everything worked like clockwork! Good communication with the company from the beginning before I booked the trip. All our guides, were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A great trip and would definitely use this company again!
- Impressive Croatia
The tour was good … unfortunately because of the travel distance you spent too much time on the bus. Free time was great. The 8-day tour was more like 5-days, as day one was a nothing day and so was the last day … nothing day. Our driver was great !!
- Impressive Croatia
Our driver/guide Dejan was incredibly helpful, he would stop on the way so we could see extra places like an arboretum, was helpful and informative.
Travel Adriatic your way
Croatia's Plitvice Lakes trek stands out among our hiking routes - wooden walkways guide you past 16 connected lakes and waterfalls. For a real workout, take on the historic Premuziceva Trail through the Velebit Mountains, a remarkable 57km route built back in the 1930s that shows off northern Croatia's hidden spots. The paths around Paklenica National Park lead through limestone gorges and up to old monasteries, while coastal walks near Zadar mix sea views with stops in local villages. Between Korcula and Dubrovnik, you can switch between forest paths and seaside trails. Our local guides make these walks special by sharing tales about abandoned summer settlements and the ancient stone Mirila monuments you'll spot along the way.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursIsland-hopping active tours pack each day with variety - morning sea kayaking to hidden caves and afternoon rides through olive groves. Families tend to love our Lopud Island base where kids try stand-up paddleboarding in sheltered bays and learn picigin, a traditional beach game. More experienced travelers choose programs that combine hiking Paklenica's gorges with climbing on quality limestone walls. On Sipan Island, multi-sport trips mix biking past historic churches and swimming in clear coves. Our customers say these active tours hit the sweet spot between physical challenge and also cultural experiences.
See all Active toursThe cycling routes along the Dalmatian Coast start nice and easy from Split before heading out to the islands. On Brac, you'll ride past centuries-old olive groves and the limestone quarries that provided stone for Vienna's Parliament building. The routes through Hvar take you between lavender fields and small villages, with stops at local wineries along the way. Our cyclists tell us they really like the Peljesac Peninsula section, where quiet roads curve past vineyards and give you great views over the bays. The guides know exactly where to stop for swims and share interesting historical details that bring the whole region to life.
See all Bicycle toursExplore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Adriatic. We have 14 adventures that vary from 4 days to 14 days. With the greatest number of departures in October, this is also the most popular time of the year.

Quick to respond and information provided is clear and unambiguous so there are no surprises. I had a very enjoyable and memorable private tour in Montenegro and Croatia, thanks also to the local agency that arranged the logistics. Everything was well organized and the itinerary and choice of accommodations were faultless.

Discover Adriatic tours for every budget
Our budget travelers get great value on Croatia coastal walking tours starting in Zagreb, where you'll explore art galleries and parks before heading to Plitvice Lakes' terraced waterfalls. The routes take you through Zadar to experience its sea organ and down to Split's ancient streets. You get free afternoons to explore Old Towns or join optional activities like swimming at Zlatni Rat beach. Some routes include Hvar and Korcula islands, while others focus on mainland spots ending in Dubrovnik. You'll stay in simple but clean hostels and guesthouses, usually with 12-16 other travelers who also love good value coastal experiences.
Our Dalmatian cycling tours deliver luxury with carefully chosen 4 and 5-star hotels along Croatia's most scenic routes. You get private boat transfers between islands, exclusive vineyard tastings and really good local food. Our customers love the guides who take care of everything - from maintaining the bikes to setting up private oyster tastings in Mali Ston. The days mix active cycling through spots like Hvar's lavender fields with elegant evenings dining in historic Korcula palaces.

Adriatic tours for every type of group
Who are you traveling with?
Group
468 tours in AdriaticThe Adriatic group tours connect 15-20 travelers who love history, food and local culture. Starting from Split or Zagreb, you'll explore places like Diocletian's Palace with expert guides, hike national parks and spend evenings trying local wines at konobas. There's plenty of time for swimming at hidden beaches and boat trips to sea caves. Our travelers tell us they really like how the mix of planned activities and free time lets them connect with the group while still exploring on their own.
Small Group
177 tours in AdriaticSmall groups of 8-12 people can explore places bigger tours can't reach. These intimate tours adapt to what interests you - maybe extra time photographing Plitvice's waterfalls or finding tucked-away restaurants in Korcula's back streets.

Our customers especially like visiting smaller villages and family wineries that just aren't possible with larger groups.
Private / Personalized

Our 7-day tours give you different ways to experience the Adriatic coast. Cyclists love starting in Split, riding through Brac where olive groves lead to quiet bays, then pedaling across Hvar's lavender-scented roads. If you prefer taking it easier, the Zagreb-to-Dubrovnik route lets you swim in Plitvice Lakes, dig into Split's Roman history and finish with drinks along Dubrovnik's walls as the sun sets. The weekly trips work really well - you can be active in the mornings cycling the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain or exploring Korcula's medieval streets, then have relaxed afternoons doing whatever suits you.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Split, Solta, Hvar Island, Scedro, Korcula Island, Mljet Island, Elaphiti Islands, Dubrovnik
Ten days on the water really lets you get into the local pace. From Split, you'll find secluded morning swimming spots and spend afternoons cycling through places like Mljet National Park. You get extra time on Hvar and Korcula, where our customers have found excellent local restaurants and wine tastings away from the busy areas. The crews know all the best spots - where to watch sunset and where to wake up for perfect morning swims. Having two nights in Dubrovnik works particularly well; our travelers like having time for both the city walls and coastal kayaking without rushing.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Zagreb, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Trogir, Bol, Hvar Island, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Korčula, Split
Demographics
The Zagreb to Dubrovnik routes work brilliantly for solo travelers - you'll share costs on rooms while keeping the freedom to do your own thing. Our independent explorers tell us they love having all the logistics sorted but still getting free afternoons to discover Split's hidden spots or join optional boat trips after morning activities like guided walks through Diocletian's Palace. The group dynamic really comes alive at places like Plitvice Lakes National Park, where travelers swap photography tips and take turns getting everyone's photos with those multi-layered waterfalls in the background. You can join the group dinners or branch off to find local restaurants - it's totally up to you.
Our Split-Dubrovnik sailing routes attract young adults who want a social scene and also some culture. The 4-8 day trips mix swimming in quiet bays with evenings exploring Hvar's bars and Dubrovnik's waterfront lounges. Your boat docks right in town, making it easy to join crew BBQ nights and group dinners before heading out or doing your own thing. During the day, you can go buggy riding above Dubrovnik, cycle through Mljet National Park or just swim at a different island each day. The guides know all the good spots - from beach clubs worth your time to local restaurants that won't break the bank. The whole vibe stays casual and social without being too structured.
Our family groups really connect with the island-hopping routes around Dubrovnik and the Croatian coast. Kids get excited about kayaking to Sunj Beach where they learn Picigin (a local beach game) in the shallow waters, while parents love how the active fun mixes with cultural stops. The routes take you to caves only accessible by boat and give everyone a chance to learn about old island traditions. When we dock at Sipan Island, families can cycle traffic-free paths past olive groves and wild fig trees - our young travelers love picking fresh figs as they ride. The swimming spots around Sipan are perfect for snorkeling and even some cliff jumping, though we balance that energy with interesting visits to places like Dubrovnik's Old Town. Most groups stay based on quiet Lopud Island, where the kids can swim right off the beach near their rooms.

Best time to visit Adriatic
- Spring 2025
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.

- Summer 2025
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 2025
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 2025 / 2026
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.
