ISLAND HOPPING & HIKING
IN CROATIA
The Dalmatian coast and its many offshore islands not only impress with their dreamlike nature, the many rocky bays, long coastal roads and countless olive groves; the small harbors, lively towns and original villages enchant with their beautiful architecture and small charming stores and squares.
We explore these varied landscapes and idyllic places during our hiking trip! Our boat gives us the flexibility we need to reach the most beautiful bays and discover the diverse island world from there during our hikes.
Our boat
Our boat, the OTAC NIKOLA, is a typical Croatian motor vessel, a comfortable two-masted ship, which can accommodate approximately 24 guests in fully air-conditioned two- and alternatively three-bed cabins, each with its own toilet and bathroom – a perfect boat for this hiking trip!
