Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
The ship will dock in Split Harbor, and embarkation is possible throughout the day. Passengers arriving in the morning can only enter their cabins after 14:00 but can leave luggage on board. If your ship is not in port until the evening, the team will take care of your luggage and organize an excursion.
At 19:00, have a welcome meeting where the cruise manager will introduce you to the crew and fellow passengers.
A welcome dinner will be served at 19:30.
The captain will wait for all the passengers arriving late at night but notify the team in advance. All late-arriving guests will be provided with dinner.
Your English-speaking guide will do a morning Split City tour, walking you through the world-famous Diocletian’s Palace. Split is the second-largest urban center in Croatia and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. Over 1700 years old, Split abounds with cultural and historical sights, many of them situated within the city’s historical nucleus, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979.
By noon, sail out for Trogir, another city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lunch will be served on board, and you can have a swim stop en route, arriving in Trogir in the afternoon. This town museum is packed with palaces, churches, monasteries, and towers, the main attraction being the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia. A professional English-speaking guide will take you on a Trogir city tour.
Afterward, have the evening alone, free to explore or have dinner in one of Trogir’s cozy taverns.
In the morning, sail for Bol, best known for its Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape) beach, which regularly hits the top lists of the most beautiful European beaches. Once you stop in Bol, you can indulge in simple pleasures such as walking around this lovely little Dalmatian town until lunch is served on board. After lunch, continue cruising to Vis. Being an important strategic military stronghold for a long time, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoiled beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns.
For all interested, the team will organize an optional military tour and Vis Island excursion, ending in Komiža, a stunning fishermen’s village, to have dinner in one of the cozy restaurants—reservations and payment on the spot.
Cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the Adriatic Sea. Blue Cave is a water-logged cave that can be approached only by boat. However, at times, high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something you shall not know before the morning designated for your visit. You can get a full ticket refund if you can’t enter Blue Cave due to such sea conditions. After a swim stop and lunch on board, continue cruising along many coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island.
Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point for international jet setters. Upon arrival in Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture, and way of life. Afterward, have an evening to explore and dine in one of the numerous family-owned restaurants and taverns.
Start your day with a morning departure towards the island of Korčula. Before lunch on board, stop for a swim in one of the pristine bays en route. Your arrival on the island of Korčula is scheduled for the afternoon. The town of Korčula is the island’s main settlement and is known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, one of the world’s most famous explorers of all time.
Your English-speaking guide will take you on a Korčula Town tour through its narrow, cobbled streets and rich history. Have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.
Sailing out of Korčula in the morning, cruise towards Mljet National Park. You can have enough time to explore the park, walk around the Great and Small Lakes, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century, or swim in the heart of Mljet National Park.
Entrance fees to National Park Mljet are included. Take care to return to the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, continue your cruise to Slano, located on the mainland.
Slano is one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with a beautiful beach, dense pine forest, olive groves, a long cultural tradition, and numerous historical monuments.
Have a captain's dinner on board in the evening and live music entertainment.
Departure to Dubrovnik, passing by the Elaphiti Islands with lunch on board, and a cruise directly to the historical center of Dubrovnik, the famous city enlisted as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site.
Cruise along Dubrovnik City walls and fortifications, where you can have the chance to take unforgettable group photos of breathtaking Dubrovnik.
Disembark directly in the Old Town, where your English-speaking guide will show you the most exciting sights of Dubrovnik.
After the city tour, explore the city on your own, visit the City Walls, or take the cable car to the top of Mount Srđ and have an intimate farewell dinner. Return scheduled transfer by coaches to Gruž harbor will be organized. See why this city is called the Pearl of the Adriatic.

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
