Sea kayaking vacation in Croatia
Completely memorable. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I did not want to leave. The scenery, food (especially the ice cream on Lopud), people, walks, weather, and local activities that crop up make this trip truly worth the effort of booking. (more)

Croatia sea kayaking vacations
The beauty of the island, the hot sunshine, the incredible scenery, the balmy evenings drinking nightcaps by the sea, eating ice creams on the beach, the plentiful opportunities for swimming, the great company, the entertaining guides, the fun kayaking in crystal clear turquoise waters, the relaxation time - it was all wonderful! (more)
From €485 excluding flights
Sailing in Croatia
The most exciting part was snorkelling into a cave whose entrance was only just on the waterline; the most memorable, difficult to say - the company (our group of 6 really gelled), the places we visited (that you can really only get to in a kayak), the islands and their people themselves......  (more)

Croatia Vacations and Croatia Tours

Croatia is located in South-eastern Europe between Bosnia and Slovenia, and bordering the Adriatic Sea. Famous for its turquoise Adriatic Coast boasting over 100 blue flag beaches, picturesque towns, historic harbours, stunning mountain ranges and no less than 6 Unesco World heritage Sites, vacations in Croatia are a popular choice. You can plan your Croatia vacation any time of year as the Mediterranean climate ensures long lazy days on the beach and fairly mild winters when the mountain peaks are topped with snow, making your Croatia vacation just as beautiful in winter as during summer. There is a wonderful wide range of trips to Croatia that celebrate the rich diversity of the country’s terrain, from the vast plains, lakes and rolling hills, to the densely wooded mountains and rocky coastlines, providing you with enough to see for one week, two weeks or a two month vacation. If you choose to tour Croatia you may find yourself sailing around the 1,000 or so small islands, wandering the ancient villages lined with whitewashed buildings and tiled terracotta roofs, or exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park, composed of 19.5 hectares of woods, and 16 stunning turquoise lakes that spill over into waterfalls and bubbling streams. Croatia is also a country full of history and culture, with the Museum of Arts and Crafts to be found in the capital Zagreb, the old walled town of Dubrovnik and the modern yet traditional Split with its stunning harbour and marina, these are all popular choices of Croatia vacations. Trips to Croatia may involve just taking time out to sun yourself on the Adriatic islands, as well as enjoying the more active Croatia tours available such as cycling, sea kayaking, hiking, and multi-sport adventure. Short tours in Croatia are available; from one week healing and meditation tours to one week jam packed activity tours. Alternatively spend a bit more time getting to know the country and mix nature with culture on a Croatia tour for two weeks from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. With the country's endless remote islands, deserted beaches, and rural scenery, there are also a number of options to have your honeymoon in Croatia, from idyllic mountain retreats to island sail cruises. There is a Croatia honeymoon to suit every budget you can stay in luxurious hotels or typical Dalmatian villas. So whether it is a honeymoon in Croatia, a family trip to Croatia or an adventure tour of Croatia, it is certainly a destination which offers something for everyone.

Family Vacations in Croatia

There are a number of amazing family vacations in Croatia available from beach to mountainside to historic town, or any combination of the three. You can enjoy the perfect family trip to Croatia, with the scenic rocky coastline comprised of hundreds of islands, the beautiful mountainous interior, or the picturesque historical towns. The popularity of Croatia family vacations is also due to the climate as this area of Southern Europe is one of the sunniest. Whichever region you pick to visit, there are always child friendly options and great Croatia family vacation ideas, from a quiet fishing village or a medieval town, an adventure vacation in the Plitvice Lake National Park, or a vacation park next to the beach offering an opportunity to go sea kayaking and sailing.
