FROM HVAR ADVENTURE TO CROACTIVE HOLIDAYS
9 years ago the four of us (the founders) met on
the island of Hvar, (called For in the local dialect), picking olives and later
that night over sea food and local wine decided to form the agency not exactly
knowing where it would take us. We didn't have role-models – adventure tourism in
Croatia was still a new territory back then and we were curious. This is when our mother company was born: www.hvar-adventure.com - offering great day trips on Hvar island.
8 years after, a new child was born based in Split, with a mission to offer even more exciting tours on wider territory.
As we all have great passion for Dalmatia and Croatia in general, our new project developed with a mission to take you to places in Croatia we love, not only the most popular ones that you read about in guide books...
ONE GIANT LEAP
Coming from different fields of activities as
well as experiences it felt natural to
join them together and try to make them our living.
Our core activities are sea kayaking,
rock climbing, hiking, biking, sailing.
Our trips are well planned, but we're not
afraid of improvising.
Our equipment is tested and reliable.
Our experienced guides know what they are
doing.
We simply offer what we do ourselves and like
to think we're good at it, yet knowing that learning (and hopefully getting
better), never stops.
We don't believe in uniformity but diversity –
therefore we have more things on our adventure menu and all are done with
knowledge and passion.
In fact, our trips reflect our personalities.
We've never stopped exploring the nature of things.
We are all locals fluent in English and some
of us speak Spanish, German, Italian. We know people, characters, stories,
restaurants, secrets and secret/secluded trails, coves, groves, all kinds of
places outside Lonely planet. We know where, when and how to find a solitary
spot in the middle of the highest season. We care and want our guests to have
best possible time when travelling, because everything less than that is simply
no good for anybody involved.
We know that by selling our services in a way
we are selling ourselves and that may sound awkward at first, but only by
committing yourself totally you're able to deliver something truly good and our
aim is to leave every single guest with the feeling of well-earned pleasure. Of
course, it takes two to tango, so we do our best and if the clients do the
same, as a song goes, we're certain to succeed.
MORE ON HOW AND WHO WITH
Individuals and small numbers of people we prefer working with and
somehow it's when you can give most but as we're never satisfied with average
results our approach stays the same with bigger groups.
Beginners, intermediate and experienced adventure seekers, families,
strong individuals; we don't discriminate our clients. Our trips vary from
leisure style, moderatly sweat to hard going ones, plus everything in between.
In addition to this accomodation range goes from camping in the wild,
campsites, family run gesthouses, private accomodation and luxurious big and
small hotels and villas.
AND JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE
Self guided trips, wine tasting, traditional regional meals, culinary
delights and lessons, treasure hunt, team buiding, stand up paddle, white water
kayaking and rafting, canyoning, zip line, jeep safari, photo safari, boat and
other transfers – we do it all. Ok, maybe not everything ourselves, but we are
associated with other companies who we know do it well.
We operate in the north, middle and south Dalmatia, its mainland and
the islands from Zadar to Dubrovnik, Montenegro, northern parts of Croatian
higlands like Velebit, Gorski Kotar, from conventional trips like Plitvice
national park to many other destinations off the tourist tracks.
