Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is an absolute 'must see' town and it's wise to arrive a day or two early to really explore the fortified town and sink your teeth into her. There are no shortage of activities including the walking tour of the wall, the Game of Thrones walk, kayak around the outside of the fortified walls or even sneak in an early dive before you start your 'Dive Week' with us. You will arrive at the marina, find the boat and we'll head out soon afterwards to get the adventure started.
DAY TWO
Okuklje
Our first stop is the traditional fishing village of Okuklje. This little gem is a terrific introduction to Croatian hospitality and Dalmatian food.
We berth and dine in a family-run restaurant where they will kill you with kindness and the food is pretty amazing too!
No street lights means an amazing celestial display, so after dinner stay up a little longer and look to the sky, you won't be disappointed.
DAY THREE
Pomena
Mljet is the most beautiful and most forested island in the Adriatic and one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean. We will explore the coastline as we sail up towards the National Park and our port of Pomena. Once in port, you'll be able to take an afternoon dive and if you have the energy afterwards, you can hire a mountain bike and cycle around the lake in the National Park. Whether you choose to have an active afternoon or sit by the water with a cool refreshment, you'll love the town of Pomena.
DAY FOUR
Korcula
We'll set off early to be sure to have enough time to sail and also arrive in the marina with time for an afternoon dive. We arrive at the postcard-perfect marina in the heart of fortified Korcula Island with plenty of time to wander the old backstreets after your dive. Korčula is the home place of Marco Polo and also some exceptional restaurants and bars. You can enjoy a sunset cocktail overlooking the bay, wander the cobbled streets and ponder the town's history. There's no shortage of things to see and do in Korčula.
DAY FIVE
Hvar
Hvar is the queen of the Croatian Dalmatian islands. It has been famous since the antique because of its important strategic and nautical position. We arrive in the bay of Vinogradisce, where we're staying on a mooring overnight.

Hvar has a plethora of restaurants, bars and is alight with activity and ideal if you're looking to make an evening of it.

Explore the silo and jump from the top, if you dare! After a morning's excitement, we're off to secure a berth on the town quay where you're free to explore the magical island with a military tour, wine tour, hire a scooter to explore or to take one of the amazing shipwrecks, plane wrecks or other dives. Remember to save your appetite, there are some tremendous local cheese, meats, wines and restaurants here. Yum!
