Croatia Family Vacation

Welcome to the King's Landing!

Upon your arrival at the airport of Dubrovnik, pick up your rental car and drive to your hotel for check-in.

After a short break, join your guide for a three-hour Game of Throne Walking Tour, where you'll explore some of the most iconic scenes in the series, including "the Red Keep" - Fort Lovrijenac, which offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the Old Town, and UNESCO World Heritage enlisted Dubrovnik City Walls, where Tyrion Lannister and Ser Bronn of the Blackwater famously prepared for the Battle of Blackwater Bay.

The rest of the day is yours to stroll around and celebrate the great start to your Croatian adventure in a stylish café or local bar.

Begin your scenic drive to Split in central Dalmatia. After about one hour, stop in Ston, a medieval town boasting the longest fortified city wall, the most celebrated oysters, and the most historic salt plants in Europe. Meet your guide to hike on the ancient City Wall and Kayak in Mali Ston Bay to see the oyster farm and salt plants.

Continue with another 2.5-hour drive to Split, where you are free to wander its historic center. Then, another hour's drive will take you to Vodice, the final destination of today, where you’ll enjoy a splendid sunset on a beach of clear water and nice pebbles if weather permits.

Enjoy your leisurely moments on the beach in Vodice, or drive about two hours north to the Paklenica National Park, featuring the most stunning river canyons in Croatia. With numerous trails of different lengths and various difficulties, it's a good place for hiking, trekking, and rock climbing. For families who prefer a scenic but less challenging tour, we recommend the trail through Velika Paklenica. In the afternoon, visit the ancient city of Zadar. You can sit by the Organ Sea to enjoy its musical instrument-like sounds of waves, or have a sip of coffee with the locals for a full immersion of the authentic lifestyle. After that, return to Vodice for the night.

Drive about half an hour to Skradin, where you will embark on an adventure through Krka National Park to Skradinski Buk Waterfall. Drifting along the waterways, you will discover rich flora and fauna and impressive buildings along the river. If you wish, you can even jump into the turquoise pool under the waterfall to cool yourself.

In the afternoon, explore the ancient bayside town of Šibenik, where the architecture captures visitors with its oddly-shaped window alcoves and decorative stone work. Don't miss the landmark of the town - Šibenik Cathedral of St. James, an Italian Renaissance-style church completed in the 15th century, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is a free day at your disposal, enjoy the warm sunshine and laidback air of Vodice or drive back to the Split harbor to join an optional adventure to the Cetina River. In such a group tour, there will be an experienced and passionate guide to provide you with the safety gear, raft, and safety introduction. When everything is ready, you can drive your small boat through the smooth waterways and rapids, overcoming obstacles, and discovering hidden caves.

Time for farewell. Drive to Split airport and drop your car there.

If time permits, before getting to the airport, you may walk to the Pazar Market east of the Diocletian Palace to glimpse into local life. Every day, from sunrise to 2 pm, farmers from nearby areas will come into there to sell seasonal produce.
