Croatia offers exquisite waters, rich culture, and a multitude of outdoor recreation.
Spend 8 days exploring Croatia's Elaphiti Islands via land and sea. Less than an hour sailing time from Dubrovnik, this archipelago includes 13 lush islands with sandy and rocky beaches. Unspoiled by mass tourism, the islands are ideal for relaxation and outdoor recreation. In fact, many of the islands have no permanent inhabitants, and cars are not allowed on Kolocep and Lopud Islands, allowing for a truly peaceful experience with natural surroundings. Cycle between the quaint villages of Sipanska Luka and Sudurad on Sipan Island as you pass by historic churches, monasteries, and olive groves. Hike around Lopud Island and take in the view from the hilltop fort. Take a sea kayak to the islands of Jakljan, Tajan and Olipa and go stand-up paddleboarding in their pristine coves, accessible only from the water. Explore the famed city of Dubrovnik, with its imposing walls, Renaissance-era churches, and the striking red-and-white architecture of the Old City, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Relax on the beach after a full day of kayaking and snorkeling around the jagged cliffs, coves, and caves of Kolocep Island. This multi-sport tour with Huck Finn Adventure Travel includes guide service, accommodations, and group equipment, so you can spend more time hiking, cycling, snorkeling, and paddling. The Elaphiti archipelago is a true paradise, with green, sunny islands surrounded by the intense blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, a beautiful location for your next outdoor adventure!
After arriving in Sipanska Luka (only about one hour from Dubrovnik by ferry) you'll be greeted by a representative from Huck Finn Travel and settle into your room. This village with beautiful sunsets, situated at the far end of Sipan Island, is a charming and romantic fishing village in a bay surrounded with palm trees. Sipan is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands and its landscape, castles, chapels, and monasteries are ideally explored by bike or on foot. Sipanska Luka will be your home base for the entire holiday. Enjoy the afternoon exploring, swimming and sunbathing.Meals included: Dinner
The Elaphiti Islands are one of the best Croatian archipelagos for sea kayaking. Paddle out of Sipanska Luka this morning and head west towards Jakljan, Tajan and Olipa Islands.

There will be plenty of time for swimming and snorkeling before returning to Sipanska Luka for yet another spectacular sunset.Kayaking time: 2-3 hoursMeals included: Breakfast
Today you'll get the chance to explore the area on land. Two villages, Sipanska Luka and Sudurad, are connected by a country road with very little traffic, which is ideal for cycling.

Explore nearby Lopud Island with its many beautiful walking routes that take you from the sea to the top of the island and back.
