Your day starts with a morning departure towards Mljet National Park.

Entrance fees to Mljet National Park are included. With lunch served on board, you will sail for the Island of Korčula.

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

After lunch continue cruising towards Pučišća, with refreshing swim stops en route and lunch served on board. Pučišća is the biggest village on the island of Brač. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pučišća. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbor, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable. Pučišća is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. Its students carve sculptures from Brač limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. You shall spend a night in this very quiet town.
After breakfast cruise across the Brač channel to Omiš, an ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches. Omiš is located at the delta of Cetina River, with its wonderful beaches.

We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.
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.
