Arrival & Gala Meal

Day 1: Saturday

Join us for an unforgettable week on the Split Riviera. Our stylish 4-star apartments, situated within our privately owned villa, offer the perfect blend of comfort and style. It’s a unique opportunity to bond with other families while enjoying your own personal retreat.

Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or unwind on the beach, just a short stroll away. This evening, we invite you to a delightful gala meal at a charming local restaurant. Let the fun begin! Dinner will be served at 19:30.

River Tubing Fun

Day 2: Sunday

Our exclusive River Tubing tour is great fun. The perfect way to ease into this wonderful multi active week. Each person receives their own inflatable donut. You’ll be using your rubber ring to ride 9 km of river rapids and mini waterfalls.

In the slower parts, they’ll be time to swim and jump from the rocks. It’s a lot of splash action and requires very little skill. Just bring a big smile.

Array

Sea kayaking

Day 3: Monday

Croatia has the cleanest sea water and coast in Europe. It’s the perfect environment to try our open top kayaks. Powered by two people, we’ll cruise along the sparkling blue waters, that mirror the spectacular Biokovo mountain tops.

Our guides will lead the way, as we head to a remote beach location. At the half way point we’ll stop for a swim. To play games and breathe in the turquoise warm waters.

Array

Visit Split or Optional Boat & Island hop

Day 4: Tuesday

Today is your free day. Within a short walk are tennis courts, spa & beauty treatments, beaches and cocktail bars. The buses are directly connected to Split city centre.

For families that want to do more, we can highly recommend a private boat day. Explore secluded coves, stop for swimming and see the islands. More pictures on Facebook if interested in chartering boats.

Array

White Water Rafting & Omis

Day 5: Wednesday

Taking on the gushing Cetina river waters, is an adrenalin filled experience. Each raft is handled by a qualified captain, and with your help you’ll power over fast rapids, navigate waterfall drops and bumpy rocks.

On the calmer sections, there’s time to swim and float in the river current. When we finally disembark the rafts, we’ll head into Omis. The ‘City of Pirates’. Find excellent restaurants, a maze of shopping streets and a long stretch of beach.

Array

Beach day or Optional Zip lining

Day 6: Thursday

Today, relax around the pool or on the beach. Along the coastal paths you’ll find places to rent bikes, jet skis and a floating sea assault course.

For those active teenagers that want to do more, there is an option to go Zip lining. Suspended 150m high above the beautiful canyon and ride the wire. This is for serious thrill seekers. Zipline is optional for our family active holiday in Croatia. Not everyone has a head for heights.

Array

Canyoning, Waterfalls & Gala Meal

Day 7: Friday

Time for the finale ‘canyoning’. Swim, splash and laugh your way through an abundance of waterfalls, rock-pools and water channels.

Showering underneath a 50m waterfall,  will be an unforgettable highlight to your family adventure holiday in Croatia.

Tonight, we’ll be having our farewell gala meal in a traditional Croatian Tavern, in a stunning countryside setting. Spectacular views and food are guaranteed. It’s a special location to finalise an incredible week.
