The guide will show you the most interesting sights in Dubrovnik. After the city tour explore around, visit City Walls or take a scenic cable car to the top of Mount Srđ with its stunning 360° vista.

Slano is one of the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with beautiful beaches, dense pine forests and olive groves, a long cultural tradition and numerous historical monuments.
For all who are interested, we will organize an optional excursion to Ston, a fortified town famous for 5-kilometer long walls, old saltwork and oysters/mussels farm. Reservations and payment on the spot.
Your day starts with a morning departure towards Mljet National Park. Once you have arrived, you have enough time to explore the park, walk around the Great and Small Lake, visit the Islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine the Monastery from the 12th century, and, of course, take a swim in the heart of the National Park. Entrance fees to Mljet National Park are included. With lunch served on board, you will sail for the Island of Korčula. The town of Korčula is the island’s main settlement and is known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, one of the world’s most famous explorers of all time. The English-speaking guide will take you on a tour of Korčula Town through its narrow, cobbled streets and rich history. Have the rest of the evening free to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice. Overnight in Korčula Historical Town.
Cruise to the Island of Vis in the morning with lunch on board and a swim stop en route. Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon exploring the town of Vis, with its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. Overnight in Vis Town.
Today, cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in the whole of the Adriatic Sea. Blue Cave is a waterlogged cave that can be approached only by boat. Sunbeams penetrating through its submarine opening get reflected from the white bottom floor, creating a magical effect of deep aquamarine and shiny silver light, mystifying the cave’s visitors. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something you shall not know before the time designated for your visit. In case you can't enter Blue Cave due to such sea conditions, you will get a full ticket refund. Following a swim stop and lunch, continue cruising along many coves and bays towards Hvar, Croatia's sunniest island. Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point for international jet-setters. Upon your arrival to Hvar, a local English-speaking guide walks you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture, and way of life, along with a few of the island’s peculiarities, such as the traditional farming of lavender. Afterward, have an evening on your own to explore and dine in one of the numerous family-owned restaurants and taverns. Overnight in Hvar Historical Town
This morning, set sail for Bol, best known for its beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape), which consistently ranks among the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Enjoy simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town or having a cup of coffee or going for a swim until lunch is served on board. After lunch, cruise towards Trogir, a city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, arriving there during the afternoon. This town - museum is literally packed with palaces, churches, monasteries, and towers, with the main attraction being the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia. A professional English-speaking guide will take you on a city tour of Trogir. Afterwards, have some time on your own, free to explore. On this evening, have a Captain's Dinner on board, along with some live music entertainment. Overnight in the historical town of Trogir.
In the morning, sail out for Split, your last port on this cruise, with a swim stop along the way. After lunch, your English-speaking guide will do an afternoon tour of Split, walking you through the world-famous Diocletian’s Palace. Split is the second-largest urban center in Croatia and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. Over 1700 years old, Split abounds with cultural and historical sights, lots of them situated within Split’s historical nucleus, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List ever since 1979. After the city tour, explore this lively and bustling Mediterranean city and enjoy an intimate farewell dinner on your own. Overnight in Split.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
The Adventure Life staff, for me it's Franny, always listens to what I say about what kind of travel my wife and I want and expect. It never goes wrong. The motto at AL seems to be I will get back to you right away if not sooner. Requested changes and special requests are encouraged and acted on ASAP.

Prompt responses with full details needed to make our decision. Mary gave all her contact info including time she is available and website to schedule a call so we knew what to expect.
My only issue was the means to change to a personal password. Once I asked Mary she connected me with her admin person and I accomplished the change.
