Zadar Wildlife, Landscapes and Nature Tours 2024/2025

“All the reviews provide great advice and insights - I recommend reading them and I'll try not to duplicate their excellent advice.It is a Level 3 hike, so it's not a stroll in the park on flat surface. You'll enjoy the trip more if you've put some training before hand. Look at the training advice by the tour company. As Kathryn mentioned, the Dalmatian Coast is limestone so lots of different size rocks, and lots of going up, and down. Take good hiking boots and poles are really helpful.For the going up, work on your cardio so you're not winded and you can enjoy the views.For going down, work into you daily routine going down stairs. Forward and backward lunges using a bosu is also good to help strength your knees/quads for the descents.All of the hotels had access to swimming, so bring a bathing suit. There's nothing better than going for a swim after a long hike. The beach in Bol is lovely and it was so nice to just relax.Seeing Dubrovnik, Bol, Split and Starigrad were a nice "taste" of Croatia. It was also great to have a couple of nights in each location so you didn't always feel like you arrived and then had to pack up and go.”

“The previous reviews say it all, a great way to experience Croatia. I had already visited Dubrovnik and Split so for me the mountain hikes were what I enjoyed most especially those in the Paklenica National Park. On the Thursday hike we stopped at a mountain hut for delicious bean soup. Vegetarian choices in restaurants were available and the home cooking at the restaurant on the second evening in Bol was delicious!”

“The Croatia Islands and Mountains trip was wonderful - challenging in a good way, wonderful scenery, lovely cities, a great mix of activity and relaxation/leisure time, and a fabulous group of folks to travel with.”
