The island was beautiful. The walks were easy to follow.
- Kvarner Hike Tour - 9 days of pure pleasure
Thanks to everyone involved in our 9day walking tour in Croatia,our guides Jelena and Sonja went out of there way to make our stay the best experience ever special thanks to Jelena for for the home made goodies we enjoyed while on the treks food and accommodation at our hotel Bitoraj in Fuzine was fantastic also thank you again Ivana
Our guide was very caring and knowledgeable. He provided a snapshot of the history of Croatia and he gave us clear information on the next day's events and what to expect. Some of the hiking was more difficult than we expected for Level 3 moderate. Transport and accommodation were very good and better than expected. The group gelled well together and we had some excellent meals as a group in the evenings. We saw quite a lot of the beautiful countryside and the people we had contact with were very helpful and friendly. The week passed very quickly. Due to the physical nature of the trip we would recommend it to active people only. We are 70 and 75, so many of our friends would be unable to participate.
Walking Croatia: Islands & Mountains
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Croatia
When is the best time to go hiking in Croatia?
Croatia's hiking season spans from April to October. Spring months (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists on the trails. The coastal paths near Split and the islands work well in summer despite the heat as they provide access to beaches like Stiniva for cooling swims. Up in the Velebit Mountains hikers will find the best conditions from June to September after the snow has cleared. Those heading to Krka National Park might prefer spring visits when the waterfalls flow at their strongest. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Luka and H were fantastic guides and the October weather was perfect for hiking the National Parks."
Where do I stay during multi-day hiking trips in Croatia?
Croatian hiking tours use a mix of accommodations that support different routes and budgets. You'll find 3-4 star hotels like Hotel Villa Sikaa in Split's old town or Hotel Pharos set among pine trees on Hvar Island. Local guesthouses such as those in Postira on Brač Island let visitors experience authentic Croatian hospitality. For mountain routes some nights might be spent in basic but well-maintained refuges like Zavižan in Velebit. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The accommodations were perfectly located for accessing trails and experiencing local culture."
Can I combine hiking with other activities in Croatia?
Croatia's diverse landscape allows easy combination of hiking with various activities. Many trails lead to swimming spots like Dubovica beach on Hvar or Stiniva on Vis. Visitors can add sea kayaking near Dubrovnik's walls wine tasting in Pelješac or visits to UNESCO sites like Split's Diocletian's Palace. On Mljet Island hiking tours often include boat rides to historic monastery islands. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The mix of hiking swimming and cultural activities made each day unique and exciting."
How long are typical daily hikes in Croatia?
Daily routes in Croatia cover between 7-16 kilometers taking 3-6 hours to complete. The coastal paths on Hvar Island average 12km with gentle elevation shifts. Mountain trails like those in Velebit might be shorter at 10km but include steeper climbs. National parks like Krka feature easier walks lasting 2-3 hours. The popular Vidova Gora trail on Brač Island extends about 15km with a 780m climb. According to TourRadar reviews: "The distances were perfect - challenging enough but still leaving energy to enjoy the destinations."
Are guided or self-guided hikes better in Croatia?
Mountain trails in Croatia work best with professional guides who know the complex terrain and navigation points. Guides share cultural insights handle logistics and maintain safety standards. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide was very caring and knowledgeable. He provided a snapshot of the history of Croatia." The well-marked paths in coastal areas and parks like Plitvice Lakes suit self-guided walks. Most tour operators including Exodus Adventure Travels provide experienced local guides familiar with routes and conditions.
How accessible are emergency services on Croatian hiking trails?
The main hiking regions in Croatia maintain reliable emergency response networks especially in national parks like Paklenica and Plitvice Lakes. Tour guides carry first aid supplies and communication equipment. The Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) operates stations near popular hiking areas. Most accommodations such as Hotel Kastel in Motovun and Hotel Vela Vrata in Buzet sit within reach of medical facilities. While mountain huts maintain basic emergency supplies organized tours through companies like UTracks follow strict safety protocols.
