Details
Day 1
Welcome to Croatia! Enjoy a welcome dinner at a local grill restaurant
We’re totally thrilled to have you here with us in Croatia — we hope you’re excited to have an incredible Dubrovnik experience! Dubrovnik is one of the most unforgettable places you’ll ever visit! Evocative and historic, it is one of the most picturesque cities on the Dalmatian coast and has often been called the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, occupying a promontory that juts into the sea under the shadow of Mount Srd. Once you’ve arrived and checked into your accommodation, prepare yourself and your belly! We’ve lined up a special welcome dinner at a local grill restaurant to celebrate your first night in this wonderful city.
Day 2
Discover the hidden histories of Dubrovnik on a guided walking tour of the Old Town
Visitors flock to this incredible city to admire the spectacular seafront location, charming Old Town district, and medieval-era stone walls and forts. Today, we’re going on a wonderful walking tour of the Old Town to explore its well-preserved limestone streets and iconic landmarks. If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, you might have noticed this location being a mirror image of King’s Landing — ask our guide all about the show’s filming locations! Keep an eye out for the unique, circular 15th-century Large Onofrio Fountain and the 31-meter-high Dubrovnik Bell Tower.
Embark on a sunset sea kayaking adventure followed by a wine tasting session to end the day
Before evening descends, we’ll head down to the beautiful shoreline for a splash-tastic activity. We hope you’re ready to get paddling! Hop into a kayak and enjoy a sunset sea kayaking adventure that takes you out on the scenic Adriatic waters beneath Dubrovnik’s city walls. You’ll be able to take plenty of Instagram-worthy pictures from your kayak of the sunset over the city and the sea. Best of all, you’ll end the day back on shore with a well-deserved wine tasting moment to wrap up your incredible experience!
Day 3
Discover the magical Elafiti Islands on a boat trip out to sea
Rise and shine! This morning, we’re headed out on an exciting boat trip to the wonderful Elafiti Islands. The Elafiti Islands (also known as the Elaphites archipelago) are a cluster of 14 islands that make up one of the most popular day trip destinations from nearby Dubrovnik. The focal point of most island-hopping tours is a visit to the three islets of Kolocep, Lopud, and Sipan. As we sail around the Elafiti Islands, we will discover pristine beaches and jaw-dropping scenery that encapsulate the essence of the Mediterranean. Drinks and lunch are included on this delightful voyage, so you don’t need to worry about getting hungry! In the evening, put your best party face on: we’ll head out on a fun bar crawl to experience Dubrovnik’s lively nightlife.
Day 4
Cross the Croatian border and take a day trip to Montenegro for a taste of something different
Today, we depart for Montenegro first thing in the morning. Yes, we are crossing the border, so prepare yourself! Located in the west-central part of the Balkans and, like Croatia, is flanked by the Adriatic Sea, it takes less than an hour to enter Montenegro from the city of Dubrovnik. This is your chance to discover a whole new landscape and culture! Pass through historic towns bursting with character, discover gorgeous beaches along the coast, take in the sight of the most rugged mountainscapes, and marvel at the abundant natural beauty Montenegro is blessed with. We guarantee you’ll see something new at every corner!
Day 5
Spend the day discovering Dubrovnik’s Love Stories Museum and walk the ancient city walls
Today, it’s a more laid-back day for exploration in the city of Dubrovnik. You’ll have access to the unusual Love Stories Museum, which you are free to discover at your own pace. The Love Stories Museum houses a collection of unique personal love stories and tangible items of great sentimental value, all donated by people from around the world. Wander the halls and peruse the displays. Then, after you’re done, step into a more medieval world and climb the famous Dubrovnik city walls that enclose the Old Town. These ancient walls stretch 1,940 meters long and feature multiple forts. Spend your afternoon taking in the sights from atop this impressive structure, which has kept the city defended for centuries!
Day 6
Time to say goodbye to Croatia
How time flies! We hope you’ve enjoyed your time in Dubrovnik. After checking out of your accommodation, make your way to the airport in time for your flight back home. Until next time — we hope to see you again soon!
