Croatia Walking & Hiking Tours

Discover Croatia

Come amble beside the blue waters of Croatia’s glimmering shoreline—the Dalmatian Coast —where limestone cliffs rise from the deep and a multitude of small offshore islands yearn to be explored. The country’s seductive blend of rich history and striking natural beauty must be experienced on foot.

The white stone walls of the medieval Fortress of Klis near the center of Split were erected by an ancient Illyrian tribe. The former garrison now presides over a bustling community of shops, cafes, and quiet beachfronts. Here you and your travel companion can rent a large, colorful umbrella or a pair of deck chairs and relax in the warm breezes that lift off the Adriatic Sea.

A hiking tour of Croatia gives you the opportunity to walk amidst a generations-old way of life founded on timeworn trades: fishing, stone cutting, farming and wine making. When you amble the well-trod trails of Brač, Hvar, and Korčula, it is possible to briefly depart the modern world entirely, as if the passage of time has forgotten these beautiful pastoral hamlets.

Soar Above the Ancient City

There is no better way take in views of Dubrovnik than from atop its medieval walls. The easily accessible, two-hour pedestrian route offers the same breathtaking views of the city limits and Mediterranean Sea that travelers have gazed upon for centuries, connecting past and present the way only a walking tour of Croatia can.

Where the Locals Dine

Dine in the welcoming comfort of a family-owned Croatian konoba, one of numerous intimate local taverns that have feted generations of travelers. Relish in a warm bowl of maneštra, the region’s native corn and tomato stew, followed by an entree of janjetina—roasted lamb garnished with fresh local herbs.
