Arrive in Split
Split Airport to your hotel in Split
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : Split
- Environ 30 min de route
Fly into Split Airport, about 25 km west of the city near Trogir, and a driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the half-hour drive along the coast. Our hotel is in or close to the old town, so the rest of the day can be on foot. Split grew up inside the walls of the retirement palace the Roman emperor Diocletian built around AD 300, and people still live, shop and drink coffee among its columns.
Soir
In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the week: which walks are harder, how the ferries work with luggage, and what each island is like. Then we walk along the Riva, the waterfront promenade below the palace's south wall, to a welcome dinner of Dalmatian dishes at a local restaurant. Plan to land by mid-afternoon.
Compris
- Pick-up at Split Airport (SPU)
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Evening walk along the Riva
- Welcome dinner
Temps libre : Free until the early-evening briefing
Diocletian's Palace early, then the ferry to Hvar
Split by car ferry to Stari Grad on Hvar, then across the Stari Grad Plain to Hvar town
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Hvar
- Environ 30 min de route
We start at 8 am inside Diocletian's Palace with a licensed local guide, before the cruise passengers and tour groups arrive. Walk through the Bronze Gate into the vaulted substructures, then up to the Peristyle, the colonnaded court in front of the emperor's mausoleum, now the Cathedral of St Domnius. The palace has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. After a coffee we board the car ferry for the crossing to Stari Grad, about two hours on the open deck past the island of Brač.
Après-midi
Lunch is your choice in Stari Grad's harbour. In the late afternoon, when the heat goes out of the day, we walk part of the Stari Grad Plain: fields laid out by Greek settlers from Paros in the 4th century BC, still divided by the same stone walls and planted with olives and vines, and on the UNESCO list since 2008. A short drive takes us to Hvar town for two nights.
Compris
- Diocletian's Palace from 8 am with a licensed local guide: the substructures, the Peristyle and the Cathedral of St Domnius
- Car ferry from Split to Stari Grad
- Guided walk on the Stari Grad Plain
- Transfer to Hvar town
Option plus facile : Walk only the first part of the plain, about 45 minutes on a flat farm track, and wait for the group in Stari Grad.
Temps libre : Evening free in Hvar town
Activité : About 3 hours on foot in total: an hour and a half in the palace on stone floors and steps, and about 5 km on flat farm tracks with little shade on the plain.
Sveti Nikola, Velo Grablje and down to Milna
Hvar town to Svirče and Sveti Nikola, then Velo Grablje, Malo Grablje and Milna
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Hvar
- Environ 1.5 h de route
An early start, about 8 am, to beat the heat on the island's high ridge. We drive east to the village of Svirče and walk up a stony path through pine and maquis to Sveti Nikola, the highest point on Hvar at 628 m, with its small chapel and views over the Pakleni Islands, Brač and, on a clear day, Korčula and Vis. The climb is about 450 m and the walk takes about three hours up and down.
Matin
Mid-morning we drive back west to Velo Grablje, a stone village that was a centre of Hvar's lavender oil trade, where a few families still distil it.
Après-midi
From there an old mule track leads down a valley of terraces to Malo Grablje, a village left empty in the last century, where we stop for a long lunch at a family konoba. A last stretch takes us to the sea at Milna for a swim before the short drive back to Hvar town.
Compris
- Guided walk to Sveti Nikola, Hvar's highest point, from Svirče
- Velo Grablje, the lavender village
- Walk down the old track to Malo Grablje and Milna
- Lunch at a konoba in Malo Grablje
- Swim stop at Milna
Option plus facile : Skip Sveti Nikola: take the morning in Hvar town, walk up to the Fortica fortress above the harbour, and join the group in Velo Grablje for the gentler downhill walk to Malo Grablje and lunch.
Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free in Hvar town
Activité : The hardest walking day: about 4 to 5 hours on foot in total, with about 450 m of climbing on a stony path to Sveti Nikola and about 2 hours mostly downhill to Milna. Good shoes with grip, a hat and 1.5 litres of water.
Catamaran to Korčula and the old town
Hvar town by catamaran to Korčula town
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Korčula
- En traversier
Matin
A slow morning: breakfast, a swim or a coffee on Hvar's main square in front of St Stephen's Cathedral. Late in the morning we walk our bags to the harbour and take the coastal catamaran south-east to Korčula, about an hour and a half along Hvar's southern shore and past the islet of Šćedro.
Après-midi
Lunch is your choice on the Korčula waterfront. In the afternoon your guide walks you through the old town, built on a small peninsula and closed by walls and towers. The streets branch off the main spine like the bones of a fish, laid out so the summer sun and the cold winter wind cannot run straight through them. We go in through the Land Gate, up to St Mark's Cathedral and past the house the town says belonged to Marco Polo's family.
Soir
Then the evening is yours: a glass of local Pošip white on the walls at sunset.
Compris
- Catamaran from Hvar town to Korčula town
- Guided walk of Korčula's old town: the Land Gate, St Mark's Cathedral and the walls
Activités en option
- Moreška sword dance performance, on the evenings it runs in season
Option plus active : Before dinner, walk up the cypress-lined steps to the chapel on St Anthony's hill above the town, about an hour return.
Temps libre : Morning free in Hvar; evening free in Korčula
Activité : About 2 hours of easy walking in the old town, with some steps.
By boat from Vela Luka to Proizd
Korčula town to Vela Luka, by boat to Proizd and back
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Korčula
- Environ 2 h de route
We drive the length of Korčula, about an hour through pine woods, vineyards and the villages of Pupnat, Smokvica and Blato, to Vela Luka at the island's western end, a working fishing town at the head of a long, deep bay. A private boat takes us out to Proizd, a small islet of bright white limestone slabs and very clear water, about half an hour away.
Après-midi
We walk the path that loops around the islet, about 3 km over rock with no shade, stopping at each cove, then swim and have lunch at one of the islet's seasonal restaurants or a picnic if they are closed.
Soir
The boat brings us back to Vela Luka in the early afternoon and we drive back across the island, arriving in Korčula town in time for a rest and a free evening. This is the day to slow down between two walking days.
Compris
- Drive across Korčula to Vela Luka
- Private boat from Vela Luka to Proizd and back
- Guided walk around Proizd, with time to swim
- Lunch on Proizd
Activités en option
- Vela Spila, the prehistoric cave above Vela Luka, if time and opening hours allow
Option plus facile : Stay by the first cove on Proizd and swim while the group walks the loop.
Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free in Korčula town
Activité : About 3 hours on foot on bare limestone with no shade; bring sea shoes or sandals with grip, a hat and sun cream.
A Pelješac wine lunch, then the ferry to Mljet
Korčula by ferry to Orebić, Potomje on Pelješac, then Prapratno by ferry to Sobra and on to Mljet National Park
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Mljet
- Environ 2 h de route
A short car ferry crosses the channel from Korčula to Orebić on the Pelješac peninsula in about fifteen minutes. We drive up into the vineyards around Potomje, where Plavac Mali, Dalmatia's main red grape, grows on the steep south-facing slopes of Dingač above the sea; a tunnel cut through the ridge in the 1970s lets growers reach them.
Après-midi
Your guide leads a short walk on the vineyard tracks before a long lunch at a family winery, with their wines, local cheese, ham and olive oil. Early in the afternoon we drive along the peninsula to Prapratno, near Ston, and take the car ferry to Sobra on Mljet, about 45 minutes. Our vehicle carries us across the island to the national park end, where we stay at Pomena or Polače.
Soir
There is time for a swim before dinner together; Mljet has few restaurants, so this one is included.
Compris
- Car ferry from Korčula to Orebić
- Short guided walk in the Pelješac vineyards
- Wine lunch at a family winery near Potomje
- Car ferry from Prapratno to Sobra on Mljet
- Dinner on Mljet
Temps libre : Late afternoon free on Mljet
Activité : A lighter day: about an hour of walking. Wine is part of lunch; non-drinkers are well looked after.
Mljet's lakes on foot and by bike, then Dubrovnik
Mljet National Park, then Sobra by ferry to Prapratno and on to Dubrovnik
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Dubrovnik
- Environ 2 h de route
We are on the park paths at about 8 am, while the water is still and the day boats from Dubrovnik and Korčula have not yet arrived. Mljet National Park, set up in 1960, covers the island's wooded western end and two saltwater lakes, Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero, joined to each other and to the sea by narrow channels. We walk from the hotel to the bridge at the channel, then pick up bikes for the flat path around Veliko Jezero, about 10 km under Aleppo pines with stops to swim. Midway a park boat takes us out to St Mary's islet and its 12th-century Benedictine monastery and church.
Après-midi
Lunch is by the lake. In the early afternoon we drive back to Sobra for the ferry to Prapratno, then about an hour along the coast to Dubrovnik.
Soir
In the evening your guide takes the group in through the Pile Gate, down the Stradun and along Od Puča to a farewell dinner.
Compris
- Mljet National Park entry from about 8 am
- Guided walk to the lakes and bike hire for the Veliko Jezero loop
- Park boat to St Mary's islet and the Benedictine monastery
- Lunch by the lake
- Car ferry from Sobra to Prapratno and the drive to Dubrovnik
- Evening walk into Dubrovnik's old town
- Farewell dinner
Option plus facile : Walk the shorter loop around Malo Jezero instead of cycling, about 3 km and flat, and meet the group at the boat to St Mary's.
Option plus active : Walk the whole Veliko Jezero loop instead of cycling, about 10 km on a mostly flat path.
Activité : About 3 to 4 hours on foot and by bike on flat lakeside paths and park roads.
Dubrovnik's walls at opening, then home
Dubrovnik's old town and city walls, then Dubrovnik Airport
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 30 min de route
We are at the entrance by the Pile Gate when the walls open, around 8 am in season, and walk the full circuit of about 2 km before the cruise passengers and day-trippers fill the ramparts. The walls, mostly built between the 13th and 17th centuries and part of the old town's UNESCO listing since 1979, give you the whole city from above: terracotta roofs, the harbour, the island of Lokrum and the round Minčeta Tower at the highest point. Allow about two hours with stops. Afterwards a licensed local guide walks the group down through the old town to the Franciscan monastery and its pharmacy, opened in 1317, the Sponza Palace and the Rector's Palace, and explains how the city survived as an independent republic until 1808.
Après-midi
Lunch is your choice. Then it is about half an hour to Dubrovnik Airport, and your guide sees you off.
Compris
- Dubrovnik's city walls at opening, with your guide
- Guided walk of the old town with a licensed local guide
- Drop-off at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
Option plus facile : Walk only the sea-facing half of the walls, from the Pile Gate to the harbour, which has fewer steps.
Activité : Book a flight leaving after about 3 pm. The walls have many steps up and down and little shade; go early and bring water. Ask us at booking for an extra night in Dubrovnik.

Faune et météo : May, June, September and October bring warm days of roughly 20 to 28 °C and a sea warm enough to swim, with fewer people than July and August. Ferries and catamarans run their fuller timetables in this window; a strong wind can delay a crossing, and we adjust the day around it.

Questions
What does the price include?
Seven nights in central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 3 dinners, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, licensed local guides in Split and Dubrovnik, every ferry and catamaran ticket, the Proizd boat, a private vehicle on road days, airport transfers, Dubrovnik's walls, Mljet National Park with bikes and the St Mary's boat, and the Pelješac wine lunch. Nothing is paid locally.
How big is the group?
The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That keeps everyone close enough to hear the guide on a narrow island path, lets the group split for an easier or harder walk and meet again for lunch, and fits one table at a village konoba.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with you from Split to Dubrovnik, every day. In Split and Dubrovnik a licensed local guide joins for the old-town walks, as the rules for guiding at those sites require. We name your guide when we confirm your departure.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate. Four days have 3 to 5 hours of walking on stony paths, and the hardest, Sveti Nikola on Hvar, climbs about 450 m. Every hard walk has an easier choice: on day 3 you can spend the morning in Hvar town and join the downhill walk to lunch. Mljet is flat, by bike or on foot.
I'm travelling solo. What will I pay?
Solo travellers pay the shared price plus a single supplement, from CAD 595, for a room of your own. It is shown before you book, with no surprise later. If you would rather share a room, ask us when you book and we tell you whether another solo traveller on your departure can be matched with you.
When is the best time to go?
May to June and September to October. Days are warm, the sea is good for swimming, the walks are not in summer heat, and the ferries and catamarans run fuller timetables than in winter. July and August are hot and crowded. Lavender on Hvar is in flower roughly from June into July.
Will I see the lavender in flower on Hvar?
Only on June departures, and even then it depends on the year. Hvar's lavender usually flowers from June into July and is cut soon after. On May, September and October trips you still walk through Velo Grablje, the old lavender village, and can buy oil there.
How do the ferries and luggage work?
We cross on scheduled car ferries and a coastal catamaran, with tickets bought for you. You carry your own bag a short way along the quay and on board, so pack one medium case or soft bag. Your guide checks timetables daily, and if wind delays a crossing we rework the day.
How does booking work?
Choose a departure and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, taxes included, from CAD 3,495 for the small group.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. The private version is your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle, from CAD 6,290 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, ferries and local guides.
Do I need a visa for Croatia?
Canadian, US, UK and Australian passport holders do not need a visa for a short stay; Croatia is in the EU's Schengen area. The EU's Entry/Exit System and the ETIAS travel authorisation are being introduced, so check what applies to you before you fly. We confirm the current rules when you book.
