Typically you will be sharing your experiences with between 4-20 like minded travellers (depending on the trip, operator and how many others are booked on the trip) and you'll have a group leader with you. Whether you are travelling alone or with friends its good value, and a great way to meet new people! While itineraries are pre-planned there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of privacy.

How this holiday makes a difference

Environment

Hiking through National Parks passengers can learn about the endangered species in the region and spot the native wildlife. Our tour leaders encourage passengers to behave in an eco-friendly manner at all times by ensuring no waste is deposited and advocating the ‘take only photos and leave only footprints’ philosophy at all times. A visit to National Parks Plitvice Lakes, Paklenica, Krka River and Kornati Islands is included in the program - the fees that we pay to the National Parks contribute to the conservation of that area.

Community

Novigrad is a small fishermen's village away from tourist routes, hidden deep in the bay. No big hotels or crowds, no busy traffic or noise. We made it even more attractive for outdoor-minded visitors by introducing kayaking, canoeing, biking and rafting trips in the neighbourhood, thus allowing some extra income to farmers and fishermen whose accommodation, food or transport services we use. By booking this trip you bring much needed income to the people who are still recovering from the war-torn years, as this was the area severely affected by war.

This trip ensures that the local people benefit as much as possible in the form of jobs (we employ local guides and drivers). We also use local transfer services­. When out on tour we encourage learning about the country, the local culture of the teams we work with and the areas we pass through. Our guides hold informal talks with groups to inform about and discuss with them all aspects of local life.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The most memorable and exciting part of our holiday was going to plitvice lakes national park. It was beyond words. We will be back.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


I would tell people to eat good breakfast on active days! We really enjoyed the level of physical activity, but are not exactly used to it so eating more in the morning helped fuel our day.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I hope so. That is very important to me. But that's difficult for me to qualify, especially because I know so little about Croatia. I can say that everyone was very friendly to us.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


This was one of the most amazing vacations of my life. The activities and things we got to see were incredible, but I think my husband and I would both agree that what made it really special was the people. Being with a small diverse group helped us get to know each other while learning about different ways of life. It was fantastic. Our guides really
made their way into our hearts too. They were genuine people. We won't forget the people we traveled with over the week. Thank you so much! We will be back!
