Group Size
Limited to 12 Travelers
An important feature of our Croatia adventure is the small group size, ensuring a more peaceful, personalized experience, plus plenty of attention and safety oversight while we're kayaking.
Specialized 4x4 Land Rovers and Land Cruisers
Our Private Leaders
Included
Accommodations, services of Nat Hab's professional Expedition Leader(s) and local guides, all meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on final day, most gratuities, airport/train station transfers on Day 1 and final day, all activities and entrance fees, all taxes, permits and service fees.
Not Included
Travel to and from the start and end point of your trip, alcoholic beverages, some gratuities, passport and visa fees (if any), optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry and internet, etc.), airline baggage fees, required medical evacuation insurance, optional travel protection insurance.
Physical Requirements
Moderate
To participate fully in this trip, you must be able to kayak a minimum of two hours per excursion and walk unassisted for at least 3 miles on relatively easy terrain with some hills. Our Croatia itinerary features sea kayaking and nature walks at a beginner level. Kayaking takes place in mostly protected, calm seas (as long as the weather is good and sea conditions conducive—we will otherwise substitute other activities), Walks are on easy to moderate well-groomed trails or boardwalks. Though no paddling experience is required, general fitness and mobility are essential, and it is helpful to know in advance that you are physically able to paddle the minimum daily distance and that you enjoy kayaking before signing up—unless you wish to forego paddling and spend time aboard the sailboat or on shore instead. Also, most nights will be spent sleeping aboard a sailboat while anchored in protected bays and coves.
A typical day on the boat starts with a morning kayak excursion (1.5 to 2 hours) followed by lunch aboard or at a local restaurant, followed by more kayaking or walking on island paths in the afternoon, sometimes through local villages. Walks typically last 1 to 3 hours and may vary according to physical ability. The distance we paddle each day will depend on local weather and sea conditions. We typically paddle no more than two hours at a time, but if strong winds or currents impede our progress, we may need to paddle for longer periods. Most of the time our yacht will be nearby while we are kayaking, so if you wish to return early to the boat, that is usually a possibility. Please note that our Expedition Leader may re-assign kayaking partners, based on physical ability, in an effort to keep the group together. Guests are not required to participate in all excursions and may choose to remain on the boat or at the hotel. However, since visitors to some of the islands must be escorted by a guide, it is not possible in most cases to simply go ashore and wait on the beach for the rest of the group.

Important Information About This Trip
Please be aware that weather and ocean conditions play a significant part in affecting if and where we will be kayaking each day. If the weather is poor and the sea is rough, we may not paddle as much as we would intend otherwise, but rest assured we will always provide engaging alternate activities should that be the case. Travelers who come with a flexible and adventurous spirit will have the best time, no matter what the local conditions might be.
Mandatory Insurance
Since the areas you will travel to on this trip are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require medical evacuation insurance for this program. If you decline the medical evacuation insurance coverage offered by Natural Habitat Adventures, we require that you send us documentation of the independent coverage you have selected. We recommend that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage. Please note that we will add the cost of Natural Habitat Adventures' medical evacuation policy (currently $48 per person) to your tour invoice until you provide our office with proof of coverage including your insurance company's name, phone number and your individual policy number. Thank you for understanding that our policy exists exclusively in the interest of our guests' safety.
To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.
