Others

Hrovje was born into an adventure sports loving family in Croatia. Growing up, he loved hiking the National Parks and exploring the Adriatic Coastline during the summer. Now, Hrovje loves nothing more than showing off his homeland to travellers; he is passionate about local food and will even let you in on some secret family recipes. Plitvice Lakes National Park: Cameras at the ready folks, some jaw-dropping natural beauty awaits. With a local guide by our side, we’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage listed Plitvice Lakes – including the upper and lower lakes, plus the magnificent Great Waterfall. We’ll then make our way to Krka National Park to take in some of Croatia’s finest landscapes. Plitvice Lakes National Park: Today we’ll set out to explore the Plitvice Valley on two wheels. We’ll discover the ancient Barac Caves, their hidden treasures and spectacular rock formations that date back all the way to the Neanderthals(!) Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a tremendous picnic… with an equally tremendous view. You think you’ve seen some beautiful places in Europe, but you haven’t seen anything like Plitvice and Krka National Parks, the twin peaks of Croatia’s sensational scenery. This trip is all about getting you up close to the emerald lakes, cascading waterfalls and winding hiking trails, where you’ll hike, bike, picnic and swim - with your jaw on the floor every step of the way.

Welcome to Croatia! We’ll meet our host and get to know our new friends this morning before driving inland to one of the most spectacular National Parks in the world. En-route, we will enjoy the first of many delicious Croatian meals: think grilled meats and plenty of healthy veg. Arriving at Plitvice, we’ll settle into our accommodation and have some time to chill out. Then it’s time to kick off the adventure with our very first hike. Make sure there’s some space on your camera roll: today we’ll take the stunning Plitvice Loop, through the Upper and Lower Lakes and past the magnificent Great Waterfall. Returning to the accommodation, giddy from all that scenery, we’ll enjoy a well deserved included feast where we’ll taste fresh local produce. What a start, and there’s more to come.
