We’re a family of five with three girls in their mid teen years. We all love adventure, exploring like a local, and new enjoying immersive experiences. We’d heard great things about Croatia and saw your holiday mentioned in the Telegraph. Our big 2 week adventure was hosted by the fantastic Russo and Marisa. We had one week on the mainland and one week on Brac island. They are a dream team, bonding the families together. Nothing was too much trouble and they never ran out of energy, support and fun. Always going the extra mile to make sure the whole group had their magical experience. The age matching which isn’t a pure science, was amazing. Loads of girls and boys the same age. We particularly loved the gala meals. What a great way to start and end each week. Croatia was fascinating, especially Brac. The people are like the weather. Warm and inviting. If looking for a teenager activity holidays for families, I’d recommend to use you.

Croatia is simply gorgeous. We had a wonderful 2 weeks exploring the coast and spending a fun filled week in Podstrana with Green World Holidays. The Villa was lovely and the teens loved hanging out together by the pool and walking to the beach and using the inflatable assault course. Activities were pitched just right. Active and adventurous but not extreme. I managed to do all the activities which I was really proud of. Although my personal highlight was the optional boat tour you organised to Brac island. This was a magic day that I think we will all look back on fondly. Special thanks to Marija and Sara our tour leaders. Stipe our mini bus driver who was also a brilliant historian & Russell in the UK office who helped with all the pre-trip information.

Jaye Ellignton (Keynsham)

What a wonderful week of thrills spills and good company. Thank you, Sara & Maria, for looking after us. You are both wonderful. Creating a safe and fun environment for our teenagers whilst helping parents actually have a holiday ourselves. It worked so well and we met so many other nice families. For this stage in life it really did work perfectly. Thank you again

Rachel Evans (Richmond)

We are back after our family holiday in Croatia. I have to admit canyoning was more challenging than I anticipated, even after watching the videos and reading notes. Personally, I was mostly amazed with people we met during our week. Kids still brag about our Tour leaders Sara and Barry, who were a great role models for our two teens. You are lucky to have such a dedicated and professional people working for you.

Geraldine Smith (Norwich)

We’ve enjoyed our family adventure with you guys. Kids are thrilled, it was a first family holiday where we ALL agreed it was a success. We are not the most fit parents and we mostly did this because of our children but you know what, we actually decided to do more walks and hikes after we came back home. Thanks to your hosts, we also learned a lot about the area and heard some great stories about Croatia. Well done team!

Angela Singleton (Cardiff)

We are repeat clients of Green World Holidays and I would like to rate the Croatia family adventure program 5 stars. I loved the activities and close access to nature. The canyoning was everyone’s favourite. My husband and I enjoyed it very much and the kids said it was ‘best ever’ (even better than our family adventure week in Slovenia). Such a great team and lovely families. The accurate age matching at Green World is one of the main reasons we come back time and time again.

Kate Gore (Hornchurch)

Do it! Parents with teenagers…..worried about them grunting and griping through your family holiday? Not with Green World! This active holiday catered for the whole family. Stunning twin stay locations with fabulous food and architecture, plus more than enough teen focus food outlets including vegan, ramen, pizza, pancake and burger bars. Eat together or after introductions are made let them hunt and gather their own food with new friends while the adults enjoy the many bars and restaurants on offer. We felt very safe and we were more than happy for our son to mooch with his new friends. The activities are aimed well for teens and adults, for those with no experience and those with some….even the most reluctant had a go at something….would have been even better if there was opportunity to push yourself a little further with optional trips for more extreme sports like bungee jumps or sky dives etc….? Group size worked well and a good balance of ages and gender for kids….great being able to find this out at the start. because our booking depended on there being other kids for George to hang out with. Gala meals at the beginning and end of the holiday are a great way of getting to know people. In summary, we had a Brilliant time. Super two weeks away.

Emma willis (Shropshire)

To answer your question: we all agreed that we need to come back to Croatia again. That’s how much we enjoyed our family holiday. Food was authentic, and organisation was immaculate! Guides, drivers and instructors work very hard to please every single teenager’s wishes!! Can’t thank them enough, hopefully we’ll be in touch again soon. It wasn’t a cheap holiday but it was worth it. Andrews family

Andrews family (London)

Olives, wine and activities what’s more to want in life! Seriously though your 2 week big adventure program was outstanding. Brac was stunning. What a charming place. We would certainly consider going back again. Eti did an impromptu olive oil tasting for us which we really enjoyed and of course the kids loved Daniel & Mario and all the fun activities.  Podstrana was great too. We particularly loved canyoning. It felt like a really well-balanced and authentic trip. 

Jon Richardson (Gillingham)

This was our third Green World trip and was well up to the standards we’ve grown to expect with your active holidays. The main x-factor is the enthusiasm, friendliness and competence of all your staff. The tubing day was hilarious and a family highlight. Instruction throughout the 2 weeks was excellent and a credit to the tour leading ability of Daniel, Barsa, Sara and Maria. The food included in your program was excellent and restaurant choices all lovely. All in all, another successful activity week in what will sadly be the last (for a while) with my grown up teenagers. thank you as always, Alice & family xxx 

Alice Parker (Reading)

Our 2 weeks family activity holiday in Croatia was terrific. Daniel on Brac island was the main man; so funny, caring and professional. We loved the SUP boarding and the climbing. Brac was delightful too; what a place to live. Food was lovely and a nice range of places to eat out. In Podstrana on week 2 the activities were more energetic. The toughest being canyoning and the funniest being tubing. Our boys loved this holiday and I was delighted how well they socialised with the other kids. Special praise to Maria, Sara and Barisa as well. All 3 were diamonds. 

Stuart Mears (Monmouth)

We had a fantastic two weeks. Podstrana and Brac island are stunning, perfect blend for parents with teenagers. Please keep inspiring families. Book the optional tours offered and speak to your travel manager about age matching. So helpful. kindest regards

Addey family (Bramley)

This was a brilliant 2-week active holiday in Croatia. Our 2 teens loved the activities and the social side was inspired. Week 1 on Brac was more chilled and prepared us nicely for week 2 in Podstrana where there was more splash action. Both weeks we met lovely families and socially it was fab. We also had enough free time to have what I would call some ‘me’ time and we all came back feeling like we had; had an amazing vacation. Croatia Rocks!

Fallon Levinson (Chelmsford)

Too many highlights to write here, from the parent ‘Lilo wars’ to cruising on a boat and sitting underneath a huge waterfall. Seeing dolphins off the coast of Brac and alot of afternoon gin n tonics going on tee hee. Still in touch with the gang, so if u want more pix there’s plenty on Facebook. Sending hugs to Maria, Nina, Antonija, Daniel and Super-mario. You made it a trip to remember xxx  

Helen Norton (Stamford)

Our time on the rivers and Adriatic waters and surrounding area was the escape we needed. We came into contact with some lovely families, who couldn’t have been more compatible. The meals included were fantastic, all sharing a great laugh over fabulous food and great memories from the activity weeks experienced. Not a dull moment during the whole 2 weeks in Croatia. Very hard to pinpoint a very best bit, but watching the whole family complete the canyon was a great feeling. Already missing the green world gang! Thanks to all, please keep in touch.

Magda Gomez (Maidstone)

Our two-week Croatia activity holiday consisted of a large amount of laughter and smiling. With our fellow thrill-seeking families, we jumped on and off boats, kayaked to secluded beaches and rode white water rapids. In the daytime we explored the sea, canyons, rural Dalmatian villages and paddled down the exquisite Cetina river. I felt my children bonded well with the other kids, which always takes the pressure off mum and dad. Our family highlights??? We enjoyed the unforgettable sunsets on Brac Island. My husband booked onto the Ziplines, with our eldest daughter (they loved it). My younger son just loved just hanging out by the pool with the other kids. It was magic.  

Rachael Evans (Cheltenham)

Before the children came along my partner and I had extensively travelled in Slovenia and Croatia. So, it was pleasing to see new parts and to share Croatia with our teenage daughters. We have done many family active holidays over the years and have to say this was up there with the best. Maria was brilliant she kept the pace just right and the activities are not to be missed. Brac Island was a magical second week and matched equally in tempo and fun. If looking to discover Croatia for 14 nights, this 2-week family adventure holiday will be a great choice. It’s definitely for sociable families. Parents and kids mix it up. There is a lot of bonding and good-natured banter. I was pleasantly surprised to see my daughters rarely on their iPads. Dare I say they were having fun without the internet! Thanks to all the guides, especially Eti, Daniel, Russell and Maria who went over and above to make our daughters feel welcome. They have a special gift, to engage the children and get them motivated.

Nancy Drew (Gillingham)

The 2 weeks in Croatia we spent with your tour Leaders & other Green World guests have been a wonderful experience. With teenagers it’s always hard to find the right holiday to satisfy parents and the teens. But even though we booked onto an adventure holiday, it felt like we had a relaxing vacation too. Please pass my gratitude to Daniel, Barry, Maria and Sara. Wonderful tireless tour leaders who have more zap than Usain Bolt. 

Advice? We heard from the other families, Zipline experience was good fun and we can recommend the boating charter optional tour. I would use the cleaning services, very cheap and useful to keep on top of clean clothes without needing to bring too much in your bags.

Niels Kirsten   (Copenhagen)

Safely back from our 2–week activity holiday in Croatia and thanks for all the arrangements Nina. We were really taken with the country, the people and the landscape. If you would like any comments anywhere particular, pls don’t hesitate to ask. Kind regards to Daniel on Brac and Maria in Podstrana 

Kostas Michalis  (Surrey)

We have returned with big smiles on our faces. It lived up to the pictures and videos we saw on your website, and now have many of our own. We would consider trying your Slovenia activity program next year! Kindest regards to all our guides and yourself.

Phil Parsons (Huntingdon)

This Croatia activity holiday for families, caught our attention in the Sunday Times last year and we are so glad it did. The Dalmatia region is a dream destination, especially for active holidays. We had blue skies, but it’s fair to say our guides were the ones who shone brightest. Their energies never wavered. The kids just loved them, and we certainly had some sad farewells. We hope to come back to Podtstrana and Brac Island, to share the adventure experience again with extended family. But for the time being we’re going to show off our glorious conquests on Instagram. 

Jamie Miller (Newbury)

Just wanted to thank you for arranging our 2 week family holiday (It was our Best European country stop, during our 4 week family tour) Myself and wife have done rafting in other countries and the white water rafting on the Cetina was ideal. Not to extreme but loads of gorgeous nature, perfect for our kids age 13 and 15. The people, the country, the weather was just about as perfect as it can get. The canyoning was also superb and our guides/instructors were excellent. We especially liked Maria & Sara. Great fun and very professional. Definitely one birthday I won’t forget, being with you guys! Thank you Green World Holidays. 

Nina Chadstone (Royal Tunbridge Wells)

We had a superb family holiday in Croatia with you. Many thanks for arranging and tailoring it to meet our needs. I had a few butterflies about doing some of the activities having never been in a raft, kayak, canyon but the team are very slick, polished, organised team of people. They managed to instil the confidence in all of us to happily take part in all the activities. We would definitely try another active holiday style program again.

Raj Mathur (London)

We had a great family multi activity holiday in Croatia. Croatia has firmly been ticked off our list. The activities were fantastic, and I would certainly recommend it to others. Many thanks again for arranging the holiday for us. Did you say, you have created a Photo share group? Please send the link access if so! Many thanks again, David

David Golding (Cheshire)

We had a lovely 2 week holiday. Croatia is very beautiful, and we got on well with the other families during both weeks. The staff/guides were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed the holiday and would consider a sailing trip in Croatia another time. By the way most guests including myself appreciated the thorough and pleasant service provided by you. Best Wishes, Bettina

Bettina Hente  (St.Helens )

Just wanted to let you know that we had a great holiday thank you very much. We liked the accommodation in both locations, and we loved the activities – Ivo and Daniel were particularly nice and very helpful guides. FYI – The scuba diving next door at the waterman resort worked well as well. 
Week 2 in Podstrana was lots of fun and kids loved the activities. The farewell meal was in a lovely setting and was actually quite emotional.  So. thank you to all involved; we loved Croatia – would like to go back! 

Juliette Cattell (Windsor)

We had a brilliant holiday.  The first week in Podstrana was quite the experience, with such wonderful families. We loved our apartment/balcony, breakfasts were calm and relaxing watching the Adriatic Sea (I’m already missing this family serenity at home). Our favourite activity turned out to be the optional ‘Boat charter and island hopping’. All the families booked it, and we had an incredible day cruising, drinking, eating, snorkelling, diving, partying! Maria, Barisa and Nina were lovely. Please send our very best wishes to all of them! Our second week on Brac was great too. Daniel, Eti, Ivo and Mario were again a credit to your company. We loved the Croatia food, vibe and nature.  Everyone without exception was friendly.  We would recommend it to anyone.

Jane Royd (Southport)

Firstly, we had a brilliant 2 week active holiday in Croatia – it was great, in particular the adventure activities – they were so well run, and team on both sides our guides Daniel, Maria and the team were brilliant and charming. So, thank you Green World Holidays! We are keen to go back – I remember you mentioned Slovenia – I would definitely consider it next summer! 

Vicki Harris (Bristol)

I booked a 2-week trip combining Mainland Croatia and the island of Brac. From start to finish it was a seamless family activity holiday with no hiccups. Green World provided a wonderful travel service, very informative at all stages and well organised local Croatian staff. Our Tour Leaders on both weeks were excellent, very good fun (especially with my daughters, who can be tricky monkeys!) and informative of all the A–Z questions we threw at them. The day activities, boat charter and island excursion being the best, followed by white water rafting tour and sea kayaking  was not to be missed. I highly recommend Split and Brac to any family reading this… it’s the right place to disconnect and totally relax, whilst meeting other nice families. 

Steffan Lever (Warwick)

Hi Maria, first of all thank you very much for ensuring that Freya and I had such a fabulous activity holiday in Croatia and of course thanks again for my lovely birthday presents. The champagne wasn’t on my bill, so thank you again for this nice surprise! Thanks, Jackie Wood

Jackie Wood (London)

We enjoyed all the activities, but especially the canyoning with amazing waterfall views. On the Brac island, we loved SUP boarding and climbing the most. The river tubing was really enjoyable, challenging but manageable for all.  The Green World tour leaders were so enthusiastic, helpful and fun. They all definitely went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group had a great time. All activities felt safe and health and safety was strictly adhered to. The dynamics of our group worked really well with similar aged teenagers as our children which added to the fun for all. The small towns on the mainland and island were beautiful coastal locations with plenty of beaches close by to explore. During week 1, we did an additional zip wire activity on our free day which was exhilarating and i’m glad our group all decided to book the private boat charter. Seeing our children jumping off the boat into the sea, with huge smiles on their faces, was worth the plane tickets alone. Overall, it was a fantastic Croatia family activity holiday to participate on. 

Angelique Crooks (Bristol)

We rated this active holiday on TripAdvisor as 5 stars. The water sports activities were so much fun. Always a recipe for a good drenching. It was nice to be alongside our children, but without cramping their style and freedom. This type of vacation is great for teenage children. We liked the feel good factor, that this trip is Eco-minded. The agency employs local people and only uses local restaurants. It also supports local conservation projects, from beach clear ups to planting trees. As parents burdened with the costs of a holiday, we would do this again.

Saleem shamash (Marston Meysey)

It is hard to pick a favourite day, both adventure weeks were excellent. We especially liked the combination of doing river and sea activities. Visiting Omis was a nice touch. I like the fact your active holidays are eco minded, we travelled with minimum impact on the environment and were well educated to the regions visited. The adventure tours were amazing and were complimented by the lovely instructors.  Travelling as 2 parents and a solo child, it was great for Toby to hang out with so many kids his own age. He never felt alone. Many thanks for a lovely Croatian family adventure. 

Brian Spencer (Oxford)

Tour leaders, apartments & drivers and all other staff during our adventure week in Croatia were fantastic. All activities were fantastic family fun, kids to see parents out of their comfort zone! Guides and reps work so hard to make your holiday fantastic. If you want something different – go for it! Make sure you bring water shoes and trainers.

Hayley Openshaw (Pelton)

White water rafting was our favorite experience! Marija and Barisa were excellent guides, full of enthusiasm; they made sure all of us had a brilliant holiday. We felt that kids were really looked after and because of them we will definitely consider a return trip. I would recommend all other travellers ‘just go for it’ and trust your guides!

Emily McKee (Newark)

Definitely most exciting and most hilarious part of our adventure week in Croatia was going the wrong way down the rapids on river tubing! All our guides have been great. Sara has been superb with our kids. Lovely, thoughtful and so helpful. Barisia- so much fun, laughing and smiling all the time and very knowledgeable about the local history, with lots of passion for Croatia etc. Fantastic! Great multi activity week. Well pitched and highly recommendable… thank you all!

Avni Thomas (West Lothian)

We’ve been to other countries for multi sport vacations, including France & USA but this area was ideal and probably the best so far, especially for my teenagers aged between 12 and 17 and from the beginning all the group (adults and teens) were treated with great hospitality and made the family feel very welcome. Our children, once settled into the apartments [fabulous by the way!!!] were straight out to enjoy the views and swim in the pool.

Staff were superb at both adventure bases. Guides during adventure days, kept everyone occupied with a variety of interesting facts and good banter. Do relay back, that we thought that the sports guides were also terrific. Encouraging when needed and showing patience when someone was a little nervous [often me!].

Highlights were the sea kayaking on Brac island and River tubing on the mainland (hilarious)! The gala meals included in the itinerary are authentic and enjoyable. Croatian, Local, Fantastic. I believe that any family interested in bonding with their teenagers should try this Croatia adventure holiday; it certainly worked for us. Many thanks for a well delivered active ‘family’ holiday! Note: I have put emphasis on the word ‘family’ as we all felt we had got a lot from the trip and actually all had a great holiday.

Dave Jenner (Norwich)

Your family adventure company has found the winning formula, that resulted in my teenagers saying: “It’s the best holiday every!” The highest praise in the land. Many thanks to Alexi, Daniel, Maria and all the guides involved. I’ll be following your Instagram page for next years inspiration. Lois xx

Louis Goldman (Lincoln)

This was the first holiday we had booked to go in a group and were wondering how it would all go and if everyone would get on.We had no need to worry; the teenagers and adults all mixed and we all had a fabulous time. Activities are great fun – kids are in their element and its well paced!

We have travelled to many places around the world to give the kids great experiences and the whole family agreed that this a top holiday.

Sonia Scott (Glasgow)

For us, the most memorable experience was the white water rafting. We felt that Green World holidays benefited local people and the economy. Reps also encourage you to recycle plastic bottle by buying one and refilling it with the tap water. We really enjoyed this Croatia family holiday, staff were brilliant, and they all seem to enjoy their jobs. Well done!!!

Petter Witter (Bolton)

Well organised . Guides and staff were excellent. Special praise to Marija and Barisa. Food allergies of our children were very well dealt with. Great family active holiday overall and will definitely consider using your company again .

Margot Eller (Banbury)

Our two week activity holiday in Croatia has been very memorable, so many thanks. We’ve experienced great activities with a lovely personable company. Great locations with access to great beaches! The families we met were delightful and we very much liked our instructors. Special mention to Russo, Daniel and Igor.

Alan Large (Sidmouth)

We were treated like a VIP from start to finish. Transportation was fabulous, all YOUR activities were  great. Reps were amazing 10/10. It was great visiting so many different locations and hidden bays and beaches. We’d recommend other travellers not to pack too many clothes, take water shoes and dry tops. We will recommend this 2 week adventure holiday to friends. Never heard of Green World Holidays before, but so glad we found you. Very nice experience, the kids think mum and dad are legends.
