Island hopping to the national parks is our "green" tour in Croatia and also one of the easiest. Here, the breathtakingly beautiful landscape takes center stage. Most of the islands visited are sparsely populated.
The ship will take you up the Krka Fjord almost to the spectacular waterfalls and into Krka National Park. South of the island of Dugi Otok, you'll cruise through the incomparably beautiful Kornati National Park, where countless small islands lie close together, like a string of pearls. In addition to these impressive natural experiences, this cruise also offers plenty of cultural experiences. In Šibenik and Zadar, you'll learn more about the region's rich history and visit northern Dalmatia's most important monuments with your guide.

Arrival is individual, either by car to Trogir or by plane to Split. After checking in to your motor yacht between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., your first crossing to Rogoznica, a small town located on an islet connected to the mainland by a causeway, begins at approximately 3:00 p.m. You'll spend the first night of your trip here.

Today, you'll enjoy breakfast during a morning crossing to the coastal town of Vodice. Here, you'll board your bikes and begin your tour to the island of Murter, which is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge in the middle of the town of Tisno. Crossing the bridge, you'll continue along the coast through two old fishing villages to a small pier. Here, the ship awaits you and takes you on a spectacular cruise through the Kornati National Park, known primarily for its scattered small islands and its abundance of fish. The destination of the crossing is the Telašćica Nature Park. A walk through the park with its salt lake and steep cliffs concludes this diverse day.  

After a peaceful night, you'll head back to your bike, refreshed and ready to explore. You'll leave the Telašćica Nature Park on a nearly traffic-free road. As you cycle along the spine of the "long island" (Dugi Otok), magnificent views of the neighboring islands and the deep blue sea open up on both sides. In the small harbor town of Brbinj, you'll meet your ship, which will take you on a crossing to Zadar. For centuries, the city was the political, cultural, and spiritual center of Dalmatia. Your guide will take you on a leisurely stroll through the alleys of the lively old town. 3.000 years of history shape the cityscape, and there's much to marvel at: the mighty fortress wall with its defensive towers, the loggia, and the early Romanesque St. Donatus Basilica.

During breakfast, you'll sail through the Zadar Canal and cross over to the island of Ugljan. Today, you'll have plenty of time to explore the two islands of Ugljan and Pašman, connected by a bridge, by bike. You'll cycle along the east coast through charming little villages with pretty stone houses and past small harbors with their colorful fishing boats, enjoying beautiful views of the sea and the mainland opposite. In the afternoon, you'll raise anchor and cross over to Šibenik, where you'll spend the night.

Today is a highlight of the trip. After the morning crossing to Skradin, located at the entrance to the Krka Canyon, you'll explore this area by bike. In the afternoon, you'll take a small excursion boat into Krka National Park and visit the famous waterfalls. Take plenty of time to explore this unique and spectacular natural spectacle on foot. Tonight you'll spend the night in the tranquil harbor of Skradin.

Enjoy breakfast on a morning crossing to Primošten. Relax during a swim break along the way before lunch is served on board. In the afternoon, your cycling tour starts from Primošten, first to Rogoznica and then back to Primošten. You'll spend the night in the harbor there and can explore the small town in the evening.

A morning crossing takes you to the island of Šolta. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, carob, and fig trees line the road. The spicy scent of rosemary accompanies you on your bike ride across this quiet island, which takes you to the village of Grohote. At midday, you take the final crossing of this tour back to Trogir. Here you have plenty of time to stroll through the medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Traditionally, the last evening before disembarkation is celebrated as a cheerful get-together for guests and the crew/tour guide.

After breakfast on board, disembarkation by 9 a.m. and individual journey home.
