Another fabulous bike and boat trip which more than met our expectations after our Greek Odyssey in 2020. Sailing around an unknown part of Croatia with knowledgeable guides and crew made each day an adventure. Kids and adults alike loved every minute and as for the food... SUBLIME!

This was a fantastic trip for families - the crew of the boat were amazing, the food just fantastic (allowing for vegetarians with very tasty options too). The scenery was just beautiful and we managed to visit some places that did not feel too touristy. We had a great time. The one area that could have been better was the itinerary and expectations of the trip itself - whilst the itinerary was very detailed before we left, it was not kept to - the cycling was very minimal (3 cycles - one of which was c2k) and some of the areas we were due to visit didn’t happen (eg golden horn). The guides provided a box of games (uno, twister, lots of inflatables for the sea) and let everyone get on with it - which actually was fine, but the itinerary made it sound like more “organised fun”! The white water rafting trip was excellent (for those who did it) but for those who weren’t able to do it - a long bus ride there and back with little to do at the camp didn’t seem fair - when they were discouraged from staying in split. So - if you like to get what you buy, this trip could make you feel a little dissatisfied. But - if you’re able to look past that and enjoy the islands, the food and the company - it’s great. But I’d say the trip itself is the highlight rather than the adventure element.
