Description

On this 8-day Croatia Hiking Tour, you’ll discover some of the best landscapes and the amazing culture of this stunning country by the Adriatic sea. Expect to walk through dreamy forests, hike up the Velebit mountains, and enjoy the unforgettable Adriatic views!

We will take you on some hidden and off-the-beaten path routes, where we will not only enjoy a full nature immersion, but also a taste of the delicious local food (home-made!), and finish the trip swimming and relaxing in unique coves of the turquoise Adriatic sea.

Some of the highlights of the trip are Zagreb (starting point, and Croatia’s charming capital city), the Plitvice Lakes, the Velebit mountains, and unmissable islands on the Adriatic sea (we’ll take you on a private boat to discover Krk, Cres, and Losinj). You can find a detailed itinerary below.

You can join any of our group tours from July to September (up to 8 guests per group, guaranteed departure), or request a private trip at any time from April to October.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
