Description of Croatia family activity week
This week long family holiday adventure on the Island of Vis in Croatia, is best described as relaxingly active. You’ll be based on Vis, a beautiful island with peaceful coves, unspoiled landscapes, crystal clear Adriatic waters and great local food and wine. Our love and knowledge of the island will help your family access all its hidden corners, enjoying sea kayaking, biking, hiking, paddleboarding, yoga by the sea and slacklining in the pine forest.
Our home, that we would like to share with you on Vis Island is a stone house in a small and local village. It has four bedrooms, each with a private bathroom. We have a shared open plan living room and kitchen, terraces for relaxing in the shade and a large balcony for evening meals. The house is near the sea, so you and your family can walk to one of the many beaches for swimming, snorkelling, fishing or simply relax any time in the clear Adriatic waters.
We keep guests numbers to nine people and this means when it comes to activities and the shape of your weeks stay with us, we are not restricted to a strict schedule. We have a chat with the families staying and plan the next day’s activities based on what the weather will be doing, everyone’s fitness levels and interests. Kayaking, snorkelling, paddle boarding and biking are favourites and we have all the equipment and experience to ensure everyone taking part has fun, stays safe and can explore all the islands highlights. We also try to put families with similar age children together to make a weekly adventure.
We believe that enjoying great food is as important on this holiday as the activities. At the house, you will have seven breakfasts, four lunches, afternoon cake and three evening meals. All meals served at the house are vegetarian, often plant based made using the excellent island produce. When dinner is not prepared at the house, we’ll drive you to some of the really special places to eat and enjoy the local wine that Vis offers, from agro tourism places inland to wonderful fish restaurants and great places to soak up the Dalmatian island atmosphere.
We have 11 years PE teaching background and an enormous passion for Vis island. We love sharing our 'Relaxingly Active' concept with families of all ages, and all levels of fitness and experience. Safety is a priority and we also ensure that the children are excited, motivated and thoroughly enjoying themselves, which in turn allows parents to relax and relish the experience, too. This isn’t a holiday for families looking to lie on the beach all day; it’s about exploring everything that the island has to offer and with our guidance, creating a daily family adventure.
Come and experience this Croatian gem of an island, allowing us to help you make the most out of each day of your holiday. We offer a £200 discount for children under 15 years.

We had an excellent day kayaking along the south coast of Vis. It was nice and relaxed, and had some brilliant coastal scenery. We enjoyed lunch in an idyllic bay, and also went snorkelling and cliff jumping along the way. Read full reviewReviewed on 28 Aug 2018 by Helen Potter

Kayaking for the first time! The sea around Vis is stunning and the views from the water are something else. Craig and Xania are great instructors. Impressively relaxed with our diverse group, the youngest of whom was six. I was the only true beginner but I didn't feel out of place. Read full reviewReviewed on 08 Aug 2017 by Leone Bentley

Planet
Our relaxingly active holiday have an high impact in experiences but hopefully a low impact on the Vis Island environment. Once we pick you up from the ferry, transport will be mostly on foot, kayak or bike. On the days that guests are not eating at the old stone house we will provide transport to and from local restaurants as a group, with local restaurants that are accessible by foot also highly recommended.As an UNESCO GeoPark Vis Island is managed with a focus on protection, education and mindful of local development. We are committed to this ethos and make sure we start of the week chatting to our guests about the island resources, our solar, respect of our neighbours, the community, wildlife and the responsible use of water and air conditioning. Our kayaking trip can often become a small beach clean up when needed.
We have a close relationship with Blue World, a marine biology NGO organisation based on Vis, sharing the research with guests and hopefully raising awareness. We have contributed actively as well as financially to local initiatives, such as Street Cats of Vis and are actively involved in beach clean up projects and organising kayaking trips for the local Vis students to encourage alternative ways to appreciate the sea. For over a decade we organise school group visits to the island and with working with local providers and the local high school, we share the commitment to protecting island life.
At our base, we are committed to small group adventures. As a vegan household, we use locally sourced, seasonal ingredients whenever possible from our Vis Island neighbours. We have made the decision not to grow our own vegetables as we believe that we didn’t have ability to provide the adequate watering system in these increasingly dry summer season. We now prefer to work with organic producing friends on the island who can produce larger amounts of seasonal crops, with a rain water collection system. Therefore supporting our island growing community.
Our old stone house also respects the environment. With metre-thick stone walls as the traditional Mediterranean way of keeping the room cool. We do have air conditioning, but we encourage guests to use it wisely, and use nature to air the room when possible. As we are on an island, we have to raise awareness about considerate water use in the summer months.
People
We are an independent company that have turned our home and love of the island into a small group activity holiday. We only have four rooms and we are have strived to be involved within our small community. With close ties to the island, we make sure we use local guides and have partnerships with Vis Island businesses. We employ locally and they enrich our business with a shared commitment to the island, for example Petra, who prepares breakfast for our guests, often arriving with her organic vegetables, first press olive oil and an assortment of homemade jams. At meals times we serve local wine from family producers who we have close ties to and often help and sometimes our guests help with the annual grape harvest.In supporting the maintenance of historic traditions, from the making of wine, olive-oil, Vis island speciality foods such as Hib, and flavoured grappa, this contributes to the local economy and encourage the development of and investment in agro tourism. We organise the opportunity to visit these local establishments and boost the awareness of the proud island heritage.
