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.

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

After lunch continue cruising towards Pučišća, with refreshing swim stops en route and lunch served on board. Pučišća is the biggest village on the island of Brač. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pučišća. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbor, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable. Pučišća is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. Its students carve sculptures from Brač limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. You shall spend a night in this very quiet town.
After breakfast cruise across the Brač channel to Omiš, an ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches. Omiš is located at the delta of Cetina River, with its wonderful beaches.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

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.
