All 2024 Croatia Trips are Confirmed! Let’s Go!

Get ready to have your mind blown multiple times over turquoise waters, frothing waterfalls, badass mountain summits, and medieval towns. Croatia will turn anyone into an annoying romantic. Book your week-long women’s multisport adventure trip featuring hiking, e-biking, mountain-summiting, sea kayaking, snorkeling, and plenty of Adriatic Sea swimming.

You’ll explore ancient cities tripping through architectural history from ancient Roman, Venetian Gothic, Romanesque, and Medieval. Cycle through stupid-pretty Istrian Peninsula hilltop towns. Bust your booties through Plitvice Lakes and Paklenica National Parks. Climb a freaking Via Ferrata to summit Bojin Kuk. And float through the 80+ islands that make up Kornati National Park. BRB we need to pick our jaw up from off the ground.

You and your Explorer Chick entourage will geek over all the architecture porn – from medieval stone gates to Gothic cathedrals. We’ll visit all the “musts” and gather for a welcome dinner in the Old Town. Did you just change your Insta handle to Croatia_Cutie? We are obsessed with you!

What could be better than seeing tiny cutie towns? TASTING the wares of those tiny cutie towns! We’ll cruise the Parenzana trail on our E-Bikes, stopping in Grožnjan, Oprtalj, and Motovun for coffee, olive oil tastings, and a spectacular lunch. By evening, we’ll cycle to the top of Motovun for a stunning gargoyle view of the Adriatic cities. Clear up some storage for all the dog pictures as our local truffle hunter talks fungi to us. You won’t leave Istria without loading your bike down with bottles of wine and a tummy full of truffles.

You’re gonna see the kind of natural beauty that shows up in the screensavers of Apple products. The Instagram world is stark raving mad over Plitvice Lakes because of its unique system of lakes and waterfalls. A rock climbing and hiking paradise awaits you in Paklenica National Park with views of the Adriatic Sea from your very own mountain summit.

The best views of this gorgeous region are often gleaned from the sea. Across two days, we’ll explore the island systems via speedboat and sea-kayak, leaving plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and floating otter-style on your back. You are basically a mermaid now and have to deal with mermaid things like schools of fish, coral spottings and island lunches. You poor thing.

Day 1 - Welcome to Croatia

You ready to get Cray-Cray in the Cro-Cro? Welcome to the home of 4 million(ish) generous, nature-loving people who want you to have at least three food helpings. Beyond the mainland there are over 1,200 islands (48 are inhabited) – all with stunning Adriatic Sea views and gorgeous Gothic architecture – bring your own raven. And download the Duolingo app to work up to Croatia’s longest word: prijestolonasljednikovičičinima, which means “little heiress apparent to the throne.”

All that jet lag will kindly slip away the second you peep Zagreb’s Austro-Hungarian architecture. After a quick pits and bits refresher at your hotel, we’ll gather for an afternoon guided walk through Croatia’s capital city. We’ll wrap up our walking tour with a spirited welcome dinner in the old town – živjeli!

Accommodation: 4-Star Hotel within 5-10 minutes walking distance of popular sites, Shared Doubles
Meals: Welcome Dinner

Day 2 - Overnight Bike Tour through Istria and Olive Oil Tasting

After breakfast, we’ll drive three hours to explore the storybook scenery of the Istrian countryside, Croatia’s culinary darling!

Agenda: hop on our E-bikes to take in the sights, smells and tastes up close.

We’ll glide along the famous Parenzana Trail, a former railroad between Trieste and Parenzo (Porec). Now the only toots you’ll hear are caused by your Explorer Chicks’ fiber bars. We’ll cruise the hilltop towns of Grožnjan, Oprtalj, and Motovun, pedaling through farmland and olive groves, buoyed by the aroma of trailside herbs and flowers. That ain’t Aveda, girl. That’s Croatia batting her eyelashes!

A stop in the charming Grožnjan will introduce you to the town of artists and music. Since 1965, artists from all over the world snatched up the houses abandoned by Italians after WWII. As many as twenty galleries and art studios can be found all over the city! It’s perfectly okay to pull a Rose Dawson and ask someone to “paint you like one of their French girls.”

We’ll continue riding the trails through the forest and old train tunnels. Prepare to visit one of Croatia’s best olive oil producers and enjoy a tasting of oil along with a spectacular local lunch. We’ll then rejoin the Parenzana trail for the final push to the foot of Motovun, one of many spectacular, medieval fortified villages perched high on the Istrian hilltops.

As for your luggage, it’ll be waiting for you that evening in Motovun. Just carry what you’ll need for the day.

E-Biking Distance: 22 miles. Moderate +
Drive Time: 3 hours

Accommodation: 3-star charming B&B atop Motovun with panorama views from the terrace. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L-D

Day 3 - E-bike to a Truffle Paradise and Drink all the Wine

Today is for all the days your farmer’s market ran out of truffles by frikkin’ 6am. We’ll continue E-biking along the Parenzana toward Motovun’s forested truffle hunting hub. A local truffle hunter will talk fungi to us before we embark on a curated truffle hunt! Yes – there will be dogs.

Later, we’ll visit a local winemaker and try the best vintages of Malvasia, the QUEEN of Istrian wine cellars. Can you believe this is your life yet?!

After an amazing truffle lunch, we’ll drive onward to Plitvice.

E-Biking Distance: 18 miles. Moderate.
Drive Time: 3.5 hours

Accommodation: 4-star Hotel near the Entrance of Plitvice with a pool. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L-D

Day 4 - Explore Plitvice Lakes National Park

You know when cartoon characters’ eyeballs fly out of their head because they are in mad love? That’s what’s gonna happen when we enter the world-famous Plitvice Lakes National Park – the oldest and largest National Park in the Republic of Croatia.

The lakes system here, to put it scientifically, is bananas. A shimmering water orgy of 16 named lakes and several smaller unnamed lakes was formed by tufa or travertine. Fancy fact: The Plitvice Lakes were internationally recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage List on October 29, 1979.

Today we’ll beat the crowds, entering the park early to explore the wooden boardwalks just by the lakes and the countless waterfalls. We’ll learn all about the local flora and fauna, as well as the fascinating geography and geology of the region.

Then it’s onward to the coastal town of Starigrad Paklenica where we’ll check in to our hotel on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. Afternoon dip, anyone? We can arrange on the spot an optional afternoon rock climbing in Croatia’s climbing mecca or hike out to a stunning viewpoint and enjoy the sunset high above the sea.

Hiking: 4-6 hours, 5 miles. Easy.
Drive Time: 1.5 hours

Accommodation: Local Guest House in Starigrad Palenica on the shores of the Adriatic. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L-D

Day 5 - Hike and Via Ferrata Paklenica National Park

After we fill our bellies and hopefully enjoy some AM BMs, we’ll drive in off-road vehicles on the rustic route to Velebit, a fantastic mountain range that follows the coastline of central Croatia. It is wild and pristine, offering bum-puckeringly-beautiful views up to 1,700 meters above the Adriatic Islands.

It’s also home to Paklenica National Park with interesting rocky formations, extensive forests and grassy peaks where we’ll hike, scramble, and climb a Via-Ferrata to summit Bojin Kuk. Challenging your fear of heights, the path snakes up the peak using a built-in cable system that will turn you into an instant badass at your next high school reunion. Fear not, all safety equipment is provided and mountain guides will lead the way. We’ve got you, and you’ve got this!

We leave plenty of time in Zadar where you’ll be free to roam. Be sure to catch what Alfred Hitchcock claimed to be the most beautiful sunset in the world with the otherworldly music from the Sea Organ humming behind you. Enjoy dinner on your own.

Hiking: 4-5 hours, 6.2 miles, 1,640′ Gain. Moderate+
Drive Time: 2 hours

Accommodation: 4 star Hotel in Zadar inside the historical core. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L

Day 6 - Speedboat through Kornati National Park

Put on your *fancy* Lycra as we hop aboard our bougie private boats in Zadar. Next stop: Kornati National Park, a smattering of more than 80 islands that cannot wait for us to flash our ta-tas. We’ll swim, snorkel, gorge ourselves on seafood and scramble up a peak for a bird’s eye view of the islands.

Today is a super chill day to vibe with the labyrinth of islands and untouched nature. Underwater you’ll see schools of fish, impressive coral, and stunning undersea landscapes.

We’ll finish the trip in Sibenik, enjoy a coffee (or cocktail) and drink in the amazing Old Town before transferring to the gorgeous renaissance city of Split. Enjoy an evening stroll and dinner on your own.

Activities: Boat ride, short hike, swimming, snorkeling. Easy.
Drive Time: 1 Hour

Accommodation: 4 star Hotel in Split minutes walking from Diocletian’s Palace. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L

Day 7 - Sea Kayaking in Split

Our last full day in Croatia packs in some truly special city and sea exploration. We’ll explore the quieter side of Split more slowly today, enjoying some truly stunning kayaking, more swimming, and wolfing down lunch on a secluded beach accessed only by sea. Oh, and all the cliff jumping!

We’ll return late afternoon to Split leaving you plenty of time to swoop up all the last minute souvenirs, get lost in the maze of the palace, or to simply enjoy a glass of wine on the promenade. In the evening, we reconvene for our farewell dinner. WE’RE NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING.

Sea Kayaking: 6 hours, 7.5 miles. Easy+

Accommodation: 4-star Hotel in Split minutes walking from Diocletian’s Palace. Shared Doubles.
Meals: B-L-D

Activity Level

Rated 3 – ACTIVE

This trip is rated a 3 – Active because of the overnight E-Bike tour on the first 2 days and the Via Ferrata.

You’ll be riding hard tail mountain E-Bikes for 2 days on a mix gravel rail trails and paved roads. The elevation changes are undulating and gradual until your final push up to the town of Motovun. You’ll be happy to crank the motor for the climb. No E-Bike experience is necessary. If you can ride a bike, then you can ride an E-Bike. It is recommended to spend time on a bike before your trip to “break in your butt.”

The Via Ferrata is a fun, challenging jaunt in the mountains. It involves hiking and scrambling up rock faces with the assistance of a built-in cable system. Those with a fear of heights will feel extra challenged. But you got this.

Daily Activities:

Day 2: E-Bike, approximately 22 miles. Moderate+
Day 3: E-Bike, approximately 18 miles. Moderate
Day 4: Hiking, 4-6 hours, 5 miles. Easy.
