Hi, I'm Shin. I’m really excited to head to Croatia to explore the vibrant coastal city of Split, which I’ve heard is totally incredible! I'm also a photographer and videographer. I enjoy making short films on my travels and it's awesome fun to have more people involved! I designed this trip for travelers who’d like to explore Split through some fun activities like stand-up paddleboarding and boat excursions. Come along if you want to join in on the fun!
When it comes to exploring the glittering sapphire waters of the Croatian coast, this is the ultimate trip to rule them all. Split has everything you could wish for in a city-to-sea trip: glorious Adriatic views, delightful old-world charm, locations straight out of Game of Thrones, the best offshore islands worth sailing out to, and a buzzing atmosphere that captures the essence of an iconic Croatian city. Once you arrive, it’s non-stop adventure and exploration, from a guided walking tour paired with a wine tasting session to a fun bar crawl at night, an epic island-hopping boat trip to a glowing stand-up paddleboarding tour. Finally, a terrific full-day catamaran voyage complete with food and drinks wraps up the trip — the best way to conclude any Croatian vacay!
It’s totally epic that you’re here with us in Croatia — we hope you’re ready for an incredible experience in vibrant Split! This is a city that offers a delightful blend of ancient traditions, beautiful architecture, exquisite cuisine, modern living, and superb coastal adventures. Combine these traits with glorious views of the Adriatic Sea and you’ve got yourself the perfect destination for a spectacular getaway. Upon arriving in the city and checking 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 buzzing city. There’s no better way to say “hello” to Split!
Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, meaning there’s plenty to see. To give you the best chance to discover the most iconic and famous sights it has to offer, we’re taking you on a guided walking tour to get up close and personal with the streets, the architecture, the landmarks, and the people. From the ancient Diocletian’s Palace — built in 305 AD, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site — to the bustling Riva Promenade with its splendid view of the sea, this is your opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the city. Best of all, as part of your eye-opening tour, you’ll get to try some local Croatian wine during a wine tasting session. Živjeli!
It’s time to make new friends in Split! Let’s quench that thirst and head out into the night on our epic bar crawl. You’ll get to visit some of the unique bars that we’ve picked out specially for you. This tour includes entrance fees and a few free drinks for you to enjoy — make the most of it, mingle with locals and visitors alike, and don’t forget to have tons of fun!
What’s a trip to Split without discovering some of the many romantic offshore islands that are so easily accessible from the city? Split is famous for being the main jumping-off point for some of Croatia’s best islands to visit, so it’s time to hop on a boat and get exploring! With so many nearby islands from Solta to Brac, Vis to Hvar, all dotted with trendy towns, picturesque beaches, and historic treasures, this wonderful day trip out at sea will be an experience you won’t forget.
This morning, spend some time admiring Split’s old buildings and their splendid facades. The best of them is the octagonal Cathedral of Saint Domnius, perhaps the most well-preserved ancient Roman structure still standing in the city. You’ll get to explore the cathedral and learn of its history at your own pace. Wander the crypt, treasury, and baptistery (Temple of Jupiter), and marvel at the emblematic bell tower that dominates the skyline.
As evening descends, we’ll head out on a special guided tour that guarantees fun, excitement, and breathtaking novelty! We’re going to hop on glowing SUP boards and paddle the Dalmatian waters until the sun disappears over the horizon. As the tour progresses and the sky darkens, we’ll watch the city lights dazzle from the coastline as our boards illuminate the waters around us with resplendent colors.
We’ve saved the best for last. Today, we’re embarking on an incredible full-day catamaran trip that will blow all others out of the water! We’re talking about front-row seats to views of the sapphire sea, sunbathing on the bow, chillaxing with great company, food and drinks served, and all the time in the world to grab the best “I’m on a boat” selfies! What more could you want on a Croatian getaway?
How time flies! We hope you’ve enjoyed your time in Split. 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!
