Arrival, Lopud and Sipan islands
Boarding takes place at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, and at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. After a short safety briefing, you will set sail aboard a modern catamaran offering plenty of space and comfort. You will enjoy a swimming stop near Kolocep Island, with the opportunity to try paddleboards before lunch at a renowned fish restaurant in the Dubrovnik area. In the afternoon, you will sail past Lopud Island and spend the night anchored in a beautiful bay on Sipan Island.
Mljet island and Peljesac peninsula
Your next stop is Mljet National Park, an ideal destination for sea kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, cycling and swimming. The park entrance fee is not included and can be paid locally. Surrounded by lush pine forests, the park is home to two beautiful saltwater lakes. You can cycle to the lakes from the mooring and, time permitting, take a boat to the small island in the larger lake to visit a 13th-century monastery. In the afternoon, you will sail to a peaceful bay on Mljet Island or the Pelješac Peninsula, where you will spend the night.
Peljesac peninsula
Spend the morning paddleboarding, swimming and snorkelling before sailing towards Broce and Ston. Famous for its impressive 5 km-long stone walls, Ston was once a key centre of salt production in the Dubrovnik Republic. You can walk along the historic walls connecting Ston and Mali Ston, a charming village renowned for its oyster farms. As you sail along the Pelješac Peninsula, one of Croatia’s premier wine regions, you will also have the opportunity to admire the hillside vineyards and sample some of the area's celebrated red wines. In the afternoon, you will return to a peaceful bay or, weather permitting, spend the night in Luka Šipanska.
Elafiti islands, departure
As you sail back to Komolac, you will pass the beautiful green Elaphiti Islands, enjoying the last moments of your Croatian sailing adventure. If you are planning to explore more of Croatia, feel free to ask your guides for recommendations. Their local knowledge will help you discover not only the most popular highlights but also some hidden gems off the beaten track.
Note on the itinerary:
Sailing takes place when weather and itinerary conditions allow. Sailing is the preferred mode of transfer, and the skippers are highly experienced; however, at times it may be necessary to choose between reaching the next stop on time for meals or activities, or sailing with the sails up and engine off.
The itinerary and duration of activities may be adjusted depending on group abilities and preferences, weather conditions and forecasts, water levels, and special events. Guides and trip leaders always prioritise safety and will do their best to ensure the best possible experience for guests. For this reason, the itinerary may be modified when necessary to avoid discomfort or risk in exceptional circumstances. We reserve the right to change the itinerary without prior notice

You don't need to be an athlete, but a reasonable level of fitness and some walking experience will help you enjoy the trip fully. Our routes range from gentle to more demanding, so we grade each holiday clearly and can recommend one that matches your current fitness and walking background comfortably.
Yes, on our self-guided walking holidays your main luggage is transferred between hotels each day, so you only need to carry a light daypack with water, snacks and essentials for the walk itself. It makes multi-day routes like the Alpe Adria Trail or the Amalfi Coast far more comfortable and enjoyable.
You'll receive detailed route notes, maps and often GPS tracks for your device, so you can follow each day's walk at your own pace without a guide. The paths on our chosen routes are generally well marked, and our team is on hand throughout should you have any questions along the way.
Difficulty varies from gentle valley and coastal walks to more challenging mountain stages with greater ascent and distance. We clearly grade every route and itinerary, and we're happy to swap in shorter or flatter days, or recommend an entirely different trail if you'd prefer a gentler pace.
Good, well worn-in walking boots, layers for changing weather, a light waterproof and a comfortable daypack are the essentials. Terrain and climate vary between destinations like the Salzkammergut and the Italian Alps, so once you've booked we'll send you a tailored packing list for your specific route and season.
Yes, alongside our self-guided routes we also offer guided walking holidays with a local leader accompanying the group throughout. This is a great option if you'd prefer expert commentary, added reassurance on more technical terrain, or simply enjoy the social side of walking with others. Just ask us when enquiring.
