Trip date: August 2014 - ARobert Williams· October 11th, 2011Fantastic trip, fantastic walking, fantastic food, fantastic sights, fantastic country. Did I mention it was fantastic?!?What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?1 - View from summit of Velebit Zavizan2 - Trekking along the Premuziceva trail 3 - Trekking through the gorges of the Paklenica National Park.....seeing those crazy climbers half way up the rock face!Difficult to pick a highlight, loved it all.What did you think of your group leader?Edo was a great guide, funny, informative and well organised. Couldn't fault him at all, a great ambassador for his country.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?This was harder than I expected! Some stiff climbs on rocky paths followed by descents on the other! The trek to the summit of Velebit Zavizan was so much fun but also a good challenge.Is there anything else you would like to add?Do it! I had a blast! Definetely one of my favourite exodus trips.Show moreTrip date: October 2011
- AMary Loosemore· July 29th, 2011Stunning scenery. Brilliant guide. Great walks.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?Jumping into the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic to cool off after the day's walking on the island of Krk.Chilling out with a gorgeous sunset out over the islands and sea, at the Zavižan mountain hut.The peace and tranquility of the Premuziceva Trail, with its stunning scenery, fabulous flowers and plants, and crazy rock formations.Exploring the ancient towns of Krk and Trogir, and seeing the Venetian history of Croatia first hand.What did you think of your group leader?Brilliant - one of the best I've ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable, on subjects from history to flowers - and great fun.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?If you enjoy day hikes and love mountains and/or islands, then this is a great trip - especially if you'd also like to know more about the history of this part of the world.Don't forget your swimming togs! Or your camera....Don't bother buying a map.Is there anything else you would like to add?To read my trip notes and see my photos, visit: http://www.sparklytrainers.com/blog/archives/2011/07/10/croatia_-_berlin_-_paris_the_t.htmlShow moreTrip date: July 2011
- ASophie Wintrich· October 17th, 2009A great variety of places and sights throughout the holiday - some seaside and swim opportunity and lots of mountain walks.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?The night in the mountain hut - with a fantastic sunset was quite memorable. Mountain peaks as far as you can see - and beautiful silence.But all of the mountain walks were good - day 2 walk allows a view of all the little islands from the top of the mountain.The mountain hut owners are always welcoming and their traditional welcome with home made herbal grappa is great fuel for the the afternoon walk.What did you think of your group leader?Very knowledgeable and helpful - proud of his country - and with an interesting life background and story.All the mountian hut owners also have an interesting life story - due to the political history of the area.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Be prepared for a variety of walks and temperatures - some in full sunshine and hot. some in shaded woods and a bit cooler - and some on top of very windy and chilly mountains.Also bring your swimming costume for the swim in the bay on day 1-3.The hotel also has a little pool and whirlpool.Lunches at mountain huts are seriously fab - but you need to like beans!Relax and be prepared to have great conversations with your fellow travellers - our group was fantastic!!Is there anything else you would like to add?There are chances you may bump into a bear - we saw bear poo!Don't overdo the grappa - it's lethal!Show moreTrip date: October 2009
- AThomas Banfield· September 17th, 2013Another excellent walking holiday with Exodus, with a friendly group in lovely surroundings. The leader Zeljko was an inspiring and enthusiastic guide, and the holiday exceeded my expectations. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?Can't decide between walking the walls of Dubrovnik or exploring Diocletian's Palace at Split - but the waterfalls at Krka were pretty good too.What did you think of your group leader?A great friend as well as being thoroughly professional in everything he did. He enabled the group to come together and enjoy ourselves, even with those early starts! A real champion for Croatia.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?The walking is correctly graded as Moderate, since the actual distances are not that great. The climbs are on rougher ground than I was expecting, however, but I'm 70 and I managed them all without holding the party back in any way.The final ascent of Bojin Kuk on the last day is NOT Moderate and should be offered only as an option in the Trip Notes - as Zeljko very sensibly did. 5 of us out of 12, including me, elected to let the others go on at this point.Show moreTrip date: September 2013

Christopher
Asked on May 15th, 2025I end a tour at Venice in the morning 6 Sept. Does this give me sufficient time to be at the start of the 8 day tour in Dubrovnik, that commences 6 Sept?? I am happy to share a room to avoid paying single supplement. Is this an option?
Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written May 2025The first day of the tour is free so you can arrive anytime you'd like. In the evening, depending on your arrival time, you could join the group for a walk around the city and go for an optional group meal we have before a briefing about the tour. Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender.

Asked on June 13th, 2024i'd like to know if joining to an international group requires high skills in comprehension of english language (i'm a lower intermediate level - B1).
- Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written June 2024
Joining this tour won't require a proficient level of English. We have people joining from different parts of the world, and as long as you can have a conversation in English, I believe it would be a great experience to join a group of like-minded people who share the same passion for travel and explore this beautiful country.

Asked on February 20th, 2023we are two friends travelling together but need separate rooms. Can go anytime in september. Like the look of this croatia coastline walking holiday. Is there a single supplement and do you book flights - we would like to go from gatwick
- Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written February 2023
At the moment the 9th SEP looks like the best option for you both. it's £1,777 with flights pp with an optional single supplement of £220. You can fly from LGW if you choose, but it will be hard to get home as there are no good flights from Zadar. The group are all going from LHR - is that ok for you otherwise we can stick to LGW options. We have 3 single rooms left on this date now, if you wanted I can hold them in free of charge until we sort out the flights?
