Our Home Country — Where Our Story Began
Visit Croatia
A Country That Rewards Curiosity
Most people know Croatia for Dubrovnik and the coast — and those places are extraordinary. But the Croatia we love goes much deeper. Truffle-rich forests in Istria. Wine roads in Slavonia that feel like a secret. Mountain villages where lunch lasts three hours and nobody minds. Island towns so quiet you can hear the church bells carry across the water.
We’ve spent twenty years exploring every corner of this country — it’s where we were born, where we live, and where we built AndAdventure from the ground up. When your clients travel here with us, they get the Croatia that only locals know: the hidden anchorages, the family-run konobas, the guides who grew up on these trails. That’s what makes a trip unforgettable.
Coast, Islands & Interior
Three Sides of Croatia
Croatia is a country of contrasts — and that’s what makes it endlessly interesting for your clients. The coast, the islands, and the interior each offer a completely different character, pace, and set of experiences. Many of our best itineraries weave all three together.
Inland Croatia
Green valleys, cascading waterfalls, and a slow pace of life that catches everyone off guard. Inland Croatia is where your clients find Plitvice’s lakes, Istria’s truffle forests, and wine regions that rival anything in Europe — without the crowds.
Coastal Croatia
Ancient walled cities, sun-soaked harbors, and seaside restaurants where the fish was still in the water that morning. From Split’s Diocletian’s Palace to Dubrovnik’s Walls — the coast is where history, beauty, and the Mediterranean lifestyle come together.
Croatia's Islands
Over a thousand islands — and most visitors barely scratch the surface. From Hvar’s lavender hills to Kornati’s moonscape, Vis as the locals know it, and the Elafiti by private boat — we take your clients beyond the obvious.
A Taste of What We Design
Discovering Dalmatia by Land & Sea
Imagine starting in Split — wandering Diocletian’s Palace with a guide who grew up in its alleyways — then heading north to Krka, where waterfalls cascade into emerald pools and the only sound is the water. A stop in Sibenik for its UNESCO cathedral, and then the sea takes over. A crossing to Brac, the scent of pine and salt as the ferry pulls in, then on to Hvar — the glamorous harbor by night, a cycling route through the lavender hills and a cooking class with a local chef by day, the ancient Stari Grad plain in between.
From Hvar, you island-hop south to Korcula — a miniature Dubrovnik without the crowds, where Marco Polo’s story lives in the stone streets. Cross the Peljesac Channel to taste your way through one of Croatia’s finest wine peninsulas, and let the road carry you south to Dubrovnik. Two unhurried days to walk the walls at sunset, find the hidden beaches, and eat at the kind of restaurant your clients will still be talking about months later.
This is one version of nine days. Every trip we design starts from scratch — tell us who’s traveling and we’ll build theirs.
Coast, Islands & Interior
Pairs Well With
Croatia is just the beginning. Some of our best itineraries cross borders — because in this part of the world, three countries are closer together than most people realize. A morning in Dubrovnik, an afternoon in the Bay of Kotor. A week on the Croatian coast followed by two days at Lake Bled. We handle all the logistics seamlessly, so your clients get a richer trip without any of the hassle.
Slovenia
Alpine lakes, farm-to-table cuisine, and a capital city that charms everyone.
Montenegro
The Bay of Kotor, dramatic mountains, and a coastline that feels undiscovered.
Prefer to Explore at Your Own Pace?
Not every client wants a fully guided experience — and Croatia is a wonderful country to explore independently. Our self-guided tours give your clients a detailed day-by-day itinerary, pre-booked hotels, all ground transfers, and 24/7 phone support from our team in Split. They get the freedom to wander with the peace of mind that everything is taken care of behind the scenes. It’s the best of both worlds — and advisors love it because the planning is done but the experience still feels spontaneous.
Frequently Asked Questions
Planning Trips to Croatia
It depends on the experience. For beach, sailing, and island-hopping, June and September are the sweet spot — warm seas, long days, and none of the peak-season crowds. July and August are the busiest months: everything is open and buzzing, but popular spots like Dubrovnik and Hvar get crowded and prices peak.
For cultural touring, hiking, cycling, and wine-focused itineraries, April–May and October are ideal. The weather is mild, the landscapes are beautiful, and your clients will have the national parks, old towns, and restaurants largely to themselves.
Winter (November–March) is quiet, but Split and Zagreb have real local character in the off-season — Christmas markets, truffle season in Istria, and uncrowded museums.
Short version: Croatia works from April through October. We’ll help you match the timing to your client’s priorities.
The coast and islands enjoy a Mediterranean climate — hot, dry summers and mild winters. Expect 25–35°C (77–95°F) in summer, 15–22°C (59–72°F) in spring and autumn. Rain is rare from June through September.
Inland Croatia is more continental: warm summers, cooler springs and autumns, and cold winters with occasional snow. Plitvice, for example, is stunning in every season but noticeably cooler than the coast.
We always brief clients on what to expect and pack for the specific regions on their itinerary.
Extremely. Croatia is one of the safest countries in Europe, with very low crime rates. Petty theft is uncommon, even in busy tourist areas, and violent crime involving visitors is virtually unheard of. Your clients can walk around Split, Dubrovnik, or any Croatian town comfortably at any hour.
Healthcare facilities are good, tap water is safe everywhere, and roads are well-maintained. Croatia is also a member of the EU, NATO, and the Schengen Area.
Croatia adopted the Euro (€) on January 1, 2023. Credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere — hotels, restaurants, shops, ferries, and even many market vendors. Contactless payments are standard.
It’s still worth having a small amount of cash for village konobas, small-town parking, or local markets off the beaten path, but most clients get by easily with cards alone.
Croatia joined the Schengen Area on January 1, 2023. US, Canadian, UK, and Australian citizens can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period — no separate Croatian visa needed.
For clients from countries that do require a Schengen visa, one visa covers Croatia along with all other Schengen countries, which makes multi-country itineraries (Croatia + Slovenia, for example) seamless.
We recommend confirming visa requirements based on each client’s nationality. We’re happy to advise if needed.
We arrange all ground transportation as part of every itinerary, so your clients don’t need to figure this out themselves. Depending on the trip, that might include private transfers, rental cars, domestic flights, ferries, speedboat transfers, or a combination.
For self-drive trips, we typically arrange a rental car — Croatia’s roads are excellent, well-signed, and the A1 motorway connects Zagreb to Split in under four hours. For island itineraries, we pre-book all ferry or catamaran tickets.
Guided trips include a private vehicle and driver, which frees your clients to enjoy the scenery (and the wine).
For peak season (June–September), we recommend booking 9 months ahead, especially for yacht charters, island hotels, and popular guided experiences. The best boutique properties and gulets fill up fast.
Shoulder season (April–May, October) is more flexible — 2–3 months is usually sufficient, though earlier is always better for a wider selection.
Last-minute requests? We can often make it work thanks to our local relationships, but availability is limited and it narrows the options significantly.
Solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups up to 14 guests. Whether it’s a honeymoon for two, a multi-generational family trip, or a small group of friends exploring the coast together — we design every itinerary from scratch to fit the group.
Because we keep group sizes small, the experience stays personal: private guides, intimate dining, and the flexibility to adjust on the go.
