Discover Croatia on an 8-day journey from Zagreb to Split, exploring three distinct landscapes along the country’s mountainous and Adriatic coast. We’ll hike in the mountains surrounding Zagreb, explore the cascading lakes and forests of UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park, and trek along two islands in the Adriatic near Split. Each area offers a different perspective on Croatia’s landscapes, history, and culture, with trekking routes and distances tailored to the group.

​

This trekking experience is designed for those who enjoy a moderate pace (2–4 mph) and plenty of time to take in the landscape and learn about the region along the way. Daily distances vary, with most days taking 3 to 7 hours, including lunch and breaks. Routes are intentionally flexible and may change based on trail conditions, group interests, and local knowledge we gather along the way.
