Your day starts with a morning departure towards Mljet National Park.

Entrance fees to Mljet National Park are included. With lunch served on board, you will sail for the Island of Korčula.

Cruise to the Island of Vis in the morning with lunch on board and a swim stop en route. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon exploring the town of Vis, with its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. Overnight in Vis Town.
Today, cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the whole of the Adriatic Sea. Blue Cave is a waterlogged cave that can be approached only by boat. Sunbeams penetrating through its submarine opening get reflected from the white bottom floor, creating a magical effect of deep aquamarine and shiny silver light, mystifying the cave’s visitors. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something you shall not know before the time designated for your visit. In case you can't enter Blue Cave due to such sea conditions, you will get a full ticket refund. Following a swim stop and lunch, continue cruising along many coves and bays towards Hvar, Croatia's sunniest island. Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point for international jet-setters. Upon your arrival to Hvar, a local English-speaking guide walks you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture, and way of life, along with a few of the island’s peculiarities, such as the traditional farming of lavender. Afterward, have an evening on your own to explore and dine in one of the numerous family-owned restaurants and taverns. Overnight in Hvar Historical Town
This morning, set sail for Bol, best known for its beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape), which consistently ranks among the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Enjoy simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town or having a cup of coffee or going for a swim until lunch is served on board. After lunch, cruise towards Trogir, a city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, arriving there during the afternoon. This town - museum is literally packed with palaces, churches, monasteries, and towers, with 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 city tour of Trogir. Afterwards, have some time on your own, free to explore. On this evening, have a Captain's Dinner on board, along with some live music entertainment. Overnight in the historical town of Trogir.
In the morning, sail out for Split, your last port on this cruise, with a swim stop along the way.

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, lots of them situated within Split’s historical nucleus, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List ever since 1979.

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.
