Question 2

When should I come to Croatia for a walking holiday?

Accepted Answer

Ideal times to embark on a walking holiday along the Croatian coast and islands are the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October. During these periods, the climate is optimal for hiking and exploring stunning coastal landscapes. If you’re a fan of swimming, the summer months provide warmer sea temperatures for a refreshing dip. However, the higher temperatures during these months can make walking more strenuous.

Question 3

Can you accommodate my food restriction?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, we understand that everyone has unique dietary needs and we aim to cater for them. Most places we visit can accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions. However, it is crucial that you inform us of any food restrictions or allergies in advance so we can ensure your needs are met throughout your holiday.

Question 4

Are these holidays appropriate for kids?

Accepted Answer

Many of our holidays are suitable for children. However, certain more challenging trips, such as those involving mountain hiking, may require children to be physically prepared and sure-footed. For the safety and enjoyment of younger participants, we recommend they be at least eight years old to join the tours.

Question 5

How fit should I be for these holidays?

Accepted Answer

Our walking holidays are crafted to accommodate a wide range of fitness levels. We offer flexibility to adjust the tours as needed. While you do not necessarily need prior hiking experience, it’s beneficial to be sure-footed and equipped with sturdy hiking shoes. The only exception is our Hut to Hut hiking holiday, which is more demanding but fully guided, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

Question 6

Where will I be accommodated?

Accepted Answer

We arrange for our guests to stay in a mix of hotels and private accommodations, depending on the specific holiday and the region of Croatia being explored.

Question 7

Do I have to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we strongly recommend booking in advance. Early booking not only secures your spot but also provides you with a wider range of options. Please note that if you book just prior to or during the season, we may not be able to guarantee availability in certain hotels and apartments.
