One of the greatest advantages of a yacht charter is the opportunity to combine life at sea with unforgettable experiences ashore. Along the route from Split to Dubrovnik, guests can discover historic towns, renowned wineries, national parks, and unique local experiences that reveal a different side of the Adriatic.
Whether you're interested in history, gastronomy, nature, or culture, these are some of the most popular excursions that can be arranged during your charter.
Military Tour of Vis by Jeep
For guests fascinated by history, the Military Tour of Vis is one of the most unique experiences in Croatia. During this guided jeep tour, you'll explore underground military tunnels, abandoned Yugoslav army facilities, hidden bunkers, and strategic viewpoints that remained inaccessible to visitors for decades. The island of Vis was closed to foreign visitors until 1989 due to its military importance, making this excursion a fascinating journey through a lesser-known chapter of Croatian history.
Tomić Winery, Hvar
Located near Jelsa on Hvar Island, Tomić Winery is one of Croatia's most respected wine producers. The impressive cellar, inspired by ancient Roman dining halls, provides a memorable setting for tasting some of the island's finest wines. Guests can learn about local grape varieties, the island's long winemaking tradition, and enjoy carefully selected wine tastings paired with regional delicacies.
Korčula Old Town Walking Tour
Korčula's medieval old town is often described as one of the most beautiful in Croatia. While it is easy to explore independently, a guided walking tour reveals countless stories, legends, and hidden details that many visitors overlook. Discover centuries of history, Venetian influences, local traditions, and the fascinating architecture that has earned Korčula the nickname "Little Dubrovnik."
Korta Katarina Winery, Orebić
Situated on the Pelješac Peninsula, Korta Katarina offers one of Croatia's most impressive winery experiences. Overlooking the channel towards Korčula, the winery combines exceptional wines with spectacular views and elegant surroundings. A guided tasting introduces guests to some of Croatia's finest red wines, including those produced from grapes grown in the famous Dingač and Postup vineyards.
Ston Oyster Farm & Ston Walls
Few culinary experiences are as authentic as tasting oysters directly from the sea where they are cultivated. The waters of Mali Ston Bay are famous for producing some of the finest oysters in Europe, and a visit to a local oyster farm offers a unique insight into this centuries-old tradition. Many guests combine the oyster tasting with a walk along the historic Ston Walls, often referred to as Europe's Great Wall due to their impressive length and preservation.
Mljet National Park by Bicycle
Mljet National Park is one of Croatia's most beautiful natural destinations and is best explored by bicycle. The island's famous saltwater lakes, shaded pine forests, and scenic trails create the perfect setting for a relaxed outdoor adventure. Both regular bicycles and e-bikes are available, making the excursion suitable for all fitness levels while allowing guests to discover the park at their own pace.
Dubrovnik Old Town Walking Tour
Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean's most iconic cities, and a private walking tour is the ideal introduction for first-time visitors. Accompanied by an expert guide, guests can explore the city's famous streets, squares, churches, and hidden corners while learning about its remarkable history. From the Republic of Ragusa to modern-day Dubrovnik, every stone has a story to tell.
Dubrovnik Cable Car
For the most spectacular views of Dubrovnik and the surrounding Adriatic coastline, nothing compares to the Dubrovnik Cable Car. In just a few minutes, visitors are transported to the summit of Mount Srđ, where panoramic views stretch across the Old Town, Lokrum Island, and the open sea. The experience is particularly memorable in the late afternoon when the setting sun bathes Dubrovnik's historic walls in golden light.
