Highlights

Description of Croatia family activity holiday, Korcula

Our Croatia family activity holiday is all based on one island, and is quite unique in that it is tailor made to suit your family’s interests, age groups and so on. One thing that always stays the same, however, is that Korcula Island will always be stunning with its secluded coves, hidden caves, superb local cuisine, island produced wine and pine forests. As well as a fascinating history and architectural heritage.

The focus of this holiday is pure and utter fun. Our group size is maximum twelve people which means that we can keep the week nice and flexible, checking in each night with everyone about the activities the next day, if they are going to be influenced by weather, and what they favour most. There is a lot to choose from too including sea kayaking, windsurfing, wake boarding, snorkelling, buggy driving and biking and, a favourite with many of our guests, a sailing trip on our yacht into Dubrovnik Old Town. We have a suggested itinerary below, to give you an idea of what the week may bring.
During all our activities we are extremely stringent with safety, and want to reassure parents that excellent safety procedures are at the core of what we do.

Your accommodation:
You will be staying at one of our Boutique style Villas in the village of Lumbarda, which will be allocated according to your family size. All have spacious double bedrooms & private bathrooms, there is an open plan living room, kitchen and also a balcony with sea view. Most of the villas also has an outdoor swimming pool, Restaurant, hot tub, gym and table tennis. The village itself has a beach and there are plenty more nearby. It is the perfect location for all our activities.

Food:
During this trip we include 7 breakfasts, served on your private balcony and also 7 picnic lunches. We also include one dinner on the last night, on board our yacht. For the other evenings, we can transfer you to different spots on the island to enjoy local cafes and restaurants at your choice. From inland agrotourism places to finer dining fish restaurants and great pizza options. The island also produces some great wines. We also cater for vegetarian and raw food meal, since the owner and his family loves vegetarian and raw food style cuisine.

Environment

On our trips we walk , snorkel ,kayak and hike on established paths and tell our guests not to feed, fish, hunt and disturb wildlife we encounter.

On Our Captain's Villa We have installed solar panels on our roof and this system provides hot water in the summer for our guests needs, and in winter it collects energy of sun and turns it into heating. In the house only natural materials are used, stone and wood.

Our Motor Yacht for day excursions is specially designed WITHOUT Propellers, instead our engineers developed water jet system which is safe for sea animals, and our guests to swim safe around the boat.

In our office we minimize printing actions and recycle paper. Most of all, we ensure that negative environmental impacts are drawn to a minimum.

By booking this trip you get to see a whole new perspective of this beautiful part of Croatian Islands by sailing on our Yacht, kayaking and snorkeling on the hidden and best preserved parts of the clearest sea in Europe guests are given the chance to explore in a ways which are least harmful to the environment.

Community

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, especially Dubrovnik old city.This trip ensures that the local people benefit as much as possible in the form of jobs (we employ local guides and drivers only) and provision of accommodation (we use our own family owned Captain's Villa ). We also use our own transfer services, buy food from the small farms and work on developing responsible waste management by stimulating waste recycle.

By buying local products you are supporting this countries’ economy and helping Croatia to stand on her feet again! We consider it our responsibility to lead efforts to maintain and preserve the integrity of this fledgling sector by petitioning the introduction of tighter controls over the use of the country’s natural resources.

Captain's Villa is our small family run hotel that employs local people and in that way is irreplaceable in the community. Our hosts in the small family restaurant prepare breakfasts , lunches and farewell dinner with our own home grown food and fish from our own pond.

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

The most memorable part was how personal and accommodating this company was. It felt like it was a friend making us breakfast, taking us out on his boat with a few new friends, showing us his favorite places, making us lunch and taking us to quiet coves to swim and snorkel. Really first class customer service, stunning country, great wine, and personalized.

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

Do it! This is the best vacation our family has ever had! Know that many activities involve hiking up and down big hills. Wear shoes you can walk in easily. By the 2nd day we generally decided to wear our swimsuits all day with a coverup on top. It was fine exploring towns that way, and it gave us more time in the water after lunch. (There are two locations to change on the boat). I just enjoyed all the swimming and snorkeling so much.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

This was a very local, authentic vacation. Eating local foods, drinking local wines, and using reduced packaging (for example, bringing one large bottle of water with reusable cups for all on the hike). We even ate fresh sea urchins and fish caught by our captains!

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

Spectacular!!! Best I’ve ever had. I’m recommending Croatia as a destination, and telling everyone they MUST stay with Zoran and Blaza and with the operator. I think there’s no way to make it any better- just spectacular!
