Key information

Comfort on Your Adventure
Day 1 · Arrival in Split & Orientation

Touch down at Split Airport, transfer to your hotel, and breathe in the Adriatic air. Join your guide for an orientation walk along the lively Riva promenade and a guided tour of Diocletian’s Palace, wandering through ancient marble corridors and underground chambers. End the day with a welcome dinner, getting to know your group over Dalmatian delicacies. 

Day 2 · Hike to Mosor Mountain

A short transfer takes you to the Mosor range, where rocky trails rise above the coastline. Hike through pine forests and karst ridges, rewarded with panoramic views over Split, Brač, and Šolta. Pause for a picnic lunch of local produce before descending and returning to Split. Free evening to enjoy your time in Split city, stroll cobbled streets and unwind at the Riva promenade. 

Day 3 · Brač Island Hike

Board the morning ferry to Brač island, where stone villages and dry-stone walls dot the hillsides. Hike to Vidova Gora, the highest island peak in the Adriatic, overlooking the Golden Horn beach. Return to Split by evening. Dinner on your own – perfect time to explore a local “konoba”.

Day 4 · Hike the Biokovo Range

Travel south along the coast to the Makarska Riviera, framed by limestone cliffs and turquoise sea. Ascend into the Biokovo Mountains, hiking toward Vošac or Sv. Jure (1,762 m) – Dalmatia’s rooftop and Croatia’s second-highest peak. Pause for a mountain picnic amid wildflowers and crisp air before descending. Return to Split.

Day 5 · Hvar Island Trails & Coastal Charm

Catch the ferry to sun-drenched Hvar, an island of stone villages, olive groves, and endless blue horizons. Your hike begins along the coast, following quiet trails to a secluded bay – perfect for a refreshing swim if conditions allow. Continue inland past terraced hillsides and aromatic herbs to reach a panoramic ridge and a sleepy village where time seems to stand still. Enjoy a relaxed lunch before returning to Hvar Town for some free time to wander its narrow streets, seek panoramic views from Hvar Fortress or unwind by the harbor café. In the evening, ferry back to Split.

Day 6 · Krka National Park & Farewell Dinner

Head north to Krka National Park, where a network of turquoise pools and cascading waterfalls creates one of Croatia’s most iconic natural settings. Follow a scenic hiking trail that winds above the Krka River, revealing sweeping views of canyons, cliffs, and the serene lake. The path leads to a medieval fortress ruin and an ancient cave before descending toward a thundering cascade set deep within the karst landscape. After your walk, continue to a nearby family-run estate for a farewell meal featuring homemade wine, olive oil, and traditional Dalmatian dishes, a fitting finale to your week of adventure. 

Day 7 · Departure from Split

Enjoy a relaxed morning in Split before your transfer to the airport. Grab a final espresso on the Riva, and take one last look at the Adriatic – until next time.
