Croatia holidays

Croatia and Italy have a shared sea, history, cuisine and way of life – they're also very similar culturally in how they welcome families and Croatia's restaurants and hotels are typically kid-friendly. Our family activity holidays take you outside – kids can try kayaking, white water rafting, caving and cycling. Many trips root you to an island to minimise travelling, too, while itineraries are designed to benefit the local community and nature. There's plenty of time for relaxing: while some days are all-go, your free days and evenings can be spent lounging with a glass of Plavac Mali (or a peach mocktail) by the water.

It doesn’t matter if you’re exploring the islands and Venetian cities along the Adriatic Coast or the lake-spattered national parks – it’s really, really hard to resist getting out on the water. Our Croatia holidays provide plenty of opportunities to do just that. Sea kayaking in Croatia is as good as paddling gets, thanks to the sheer number of islands (most uninhabited) and craggy, cracked-open scenery. Sailing in Croatia is like stepping back to the Renaissance, when the Adriatic Sea fluttered with white-sailed trading ships. Stand up paddle boarding is gaining popularity, or you could simply swim in warm, glassy waters that feel like they’ve flowed from the Tropics. Local marine experts are on hand to talk you through the resident flora and fauna.
