On arrival in Croatia, you will be greeted and transferred to the ferry terminal. This ferry is the most scenic holiday transfer we offer anywhere and lasts around 40 minutes. It is the ideal way to start your holiday in Croatia as you can really enjoy the views of the islands and the mainland from the water.

On arrival in Šipan, you will be taken to the picturesque fishing village of Šipanska Luka. This tranquil spot is a favourite for mooring yachts due to the stunning palm-lined bay. Here you will check in to your welcoming guesthouse accommodation and enjoy a relaxed evening before the fun begins tomorrow. Meals will be served in a nearby local restaurant or cafe throughout your stay.

NB: Ideally, flights should arrive before 3 pm. Any arrivals after 6 pm may need a private taxi boat transfer supplement.

Included Meals:  None

After a leisurely breakfast, you will meet your experienced guide for your first activity, before setting off on your cycling tour of Šipan. The island’s quiet roads provide the perfect routes and your guide knows all the best viewpoints. You will pass through olive groves and traditional villages, enjoy hilltop views and look out across the glistening sea. In total, you will travel between 10-15km today (the island is only 9km long in total!) and there will be plenty of rest breaks. Should you have younger children in the family, they can ride in a bike seat with one of their parents.

This tour normally takes approximately 2 hours (depending on stops) and you can spend the rest of the day relaxing or possibly hiring the bikes for the afternoon if you wish to continue exploring independently (subject to availability, must be booked and paid for locally). There will be the opportunity to enjoy lunch in a local restaurant too (please note, lunch is not included).

Lunches and dinners are typically not included in the holiday as there are normally several options each day (e.g. a local restaurant, a shop where you can purchase a picnic, etc.) so you can choose the option which best suits your family. You should also carry plenty of water with you throughout each day.

Included Meals:  Breakfast

Enjoy breakfast overlooking the Adraitic before your paddle board adventure around the shores of Šipan. This is perhaps one of the most idyllic Croatian Archipelagos for sea exploring, with hidden coves and secret beaches.

You’ll first take a short transfer to Sudurad, where the adventure begins. From here, you’ll set off from a tranquil beach offering beautiful views of neighbouring Lopud Island. If weather permits, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Sipan’s green cave too.

The SUP activity will last for approximately 2 hours, not including breaks, and you’ll have the chance to stay in Sudurad to enjoy lsome free time. Why not head to the top of St Trinity for views of the whole island.

After completing your tour, you will return to the guesthouse for some time to relax.

Following breakfast, you will begin your sea kayaking trip west to some of the neighbouring Elaphiti Islands, where you can discover numerous secret caves, coves and beaches dotted around the pine and palm-lined coastline. You will paddle towards Jaklijan, Tajan and Olipa which are all uninhabited islands and only accessible from the water.

There will be plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling so you can look at the world under the azure blue sea. If you have younger children, then they can share a kayak with their parents.?The kayaking will last for approximately 2-3 hours today, not including breaks.

You will enjoy your beachside breakfast today before setting off for a day exploring Dubrovnik on your own.

Taking the short ferry ride to the mainland will give you views of the ancient citadel as you head towards the port. It is a striking city and is great fun to explore. The sense of history and adventure is all around you as you walk the polished limestone paved streets and take in the city walls with their cannons pointing out to sea. It is easy to see why this city is so often used in film and television. There are shops and cafes galore and we also recommend seeking out one of the ice cream parlours – always a family favourite!

Your guide will accompany you on the 30-minute walk from the port to the city and then you will have free time to explore the sights at leisure before returning to Sipan later in the day. If you would rather take the bus from the port to the city, this can be paid for locally.
