Multi Adventure - Hiking & Biking Cruise of Southern Dalmatian Islands

Guided 8 days / 7 nights ex Trogir

Croatia has a wonderful and dramatic coastline with thousands of islands, reefs and bays. There are romantic ruins, enchanting mountains, innumerable sites of natural beauty and phenomena.

This multi-adventure cruise in South Dalmatia combines the popular bathing cruise with a variety of activities. Spend a week on a traditional motor vessel that takes you from island to island. Along with overnights in lively ports, you also spend some nights in quiet bays. Decide each day anew whether you would like to go on a bike trip or on a hiking tour, go rafting or rather stroll leisurely through the unique small harbour towns of the Adriatic - or simply spend the day relaxing on board, swimming and sunbathing. This is indeed a pleasant way of exploring Southern Dalmatia, possibly Croatia’s most attractive landscape. Accompanying you on board is a well-informed tour guide who can make suggestions to create an active or a relaxed holiday.
We offer two premium ships on this cruise so your comfort is assured not to mention the fresh tasty cuisine on board!
