- Venice to Split - 4 Days
Fantastic Tour! Great communication through out the entire trip! Defiantly will recommend and hope to experience more of the tours offered!
- Venice to Split Express - 4 days 3 nights
Since this tour was operated in conjunction other partners there was some confusion at multiple points that did not make it a very smooth experience. 1. The travel voucher you sent me said Nature Trips ( nowhere on this thing did it say Katrina Line) but the driver who picked me up in Venice was from Katrina Line 2. The hotel in Opatija initially could not locate me and had no idea who Tour Radar or Nature Trips was. Once again I was part of the Katrina Line group which I had no idea I was part of and the reservation they had me booked for was made for the the 11th of September in the year 2020 not 2019 3. The guide who took me from Plitvice Lakes although very nice was not aware that I was part of the group You should have done a better job of letting me which tour group I was actually a part of so that at every point they knew who I was a part of and communicated that with your tour partners. I was traveling alone and had no one else to turn to and the reason I booked with you was so that I would not have to worry so much about my travel and accommodation arrangements and you failed at that. I would have been better off just booking everything myself However all the guides were very nice and excellent
Amazing trip to relax, learn sailing and enjoy the blue sea! Especially I liked: + great crew + spacious boat + we could influence our route which was fantastic + you can gain some sailing experience + we had a good mix of eating in restaurants and cooking onboard Some points that may be improved: - open WhatsApp group for crew not just 4 days before the trip but a bit more in advance to get the shopping list sorted out and ideally order the food before the tour starts - at tourradar it states that the Tour is operated in English and I was traveling with my British friend, however all preparation emails and chats were in German and the sailing commands as well which sometimes was a bit tricky for non German speakers All in all I enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend this sailing ⛵️ trip

What our customers ask about Kvarner Tours & Trips
When is the best time to visit the Kvarner Country Region for a general tour?
The Kvarner Country Region welcomes visitors best from June to September. The Mediterranean climate during these months makes it perfect for combining beach activities on Krk and Rab islands with walks through historic towns like Mali Lošinj and Opatija. TourRadar travelers note "the weather was perfect for exploring the stunning coastline and medieval towns." Those looking to avoid peak crowds while still enjoying pleasant weather should consider May or October. These months offer comfortable conditions for hiking in Učka Nature Park and exploring the Kvarner Bay islands with fewer tourists.
What are the must-see highlights of the Kvarner Country Region?
The Kvarner Country Region presents a mix of cultural landmarks and natural sites. Opatija's Habsburg architecture stands out along its 12km Lungomare promenade. The town of Rab draws visitors with its four distinctive bell towers while Mali Lošinj offers gardens filled with Mediterranean plants. On Krk the region's biggest island visitors find Baška beach and historical Glagolitic monuments. A TourRadar traveler shares "exploring the historic town of Cres with its medieval architecture and stunning hilltop views was a definite highlight." Nature enthusiasts appreciate the Vrbnik vineyards on Krk Island and Lopar's beaches on Rab Island.
What local food specialties should I try in the Kvarner Region?
Kvarner's cuisine blends Mediterranean and Central European cooking traditions. The region's signature foods include Pag cheese produced on its namesake island Žlahtina wine from Krk Island's Vrbnik area and fresh seafood served in Mali Lošinj's restaurants. Rab offers its special "Rapska torta" cake following centuries-old recipes. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The food experiences were exceptional especially in Volosko a traditional fishing village with some of the best fish restaurants in Croatia." Local konoba taverns provide authentic dining experiences throughout the region.
What's the best way to plan an island-hopping itinerary in Kvarner?
Island-hopping in Kvarner works best when starting from Opatija and following a route through Krk Rab and Cres-Lošinj. Vessels like MS Dalmatia provide structured tours covering these destinations. Most travelers begin at Krk then move to Rab for medieval sightseeing continue to Lošinj for its botanical experiences and end at Cres to explore village life. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The itinerary was perfectly balanced between the larger islands like Krk and smaller gems like Ilovik with plenty of time to explore each destination."
What's the typical cost of meals and activities in the Kvarner Region?
Dining costs in Kvarner vary by location. Traditional konoba restaurants in Mali Lošinj or Cres serve meals for 25-35 USD per person while Opatija's fine dining venues charge 50-70 USD. Activities such as Vrbnik wine tastings cost 15-25 USD and cultural sites like Košljun's Franciscan monastery charge under 10 USD for entry. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Local restaurants away from tourist areas offered excellent value especially in smaller towns like Martinšćica where fresh seafood dinners were reasonably priced."
How long should I plan to stay in the Kvarner Country Region?
The Kvarner Country Region needs 7-8 days for a proper visit. This timeline lets travelers explore the main islands of Krk Rab and Cres-Lošinj plus mainland sites like Opatija. Tour companies such as Katarina Line typically schedule 8-day trips to cover the region's key spots. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Eight days was perfect to experience both the islands and mainland highlights though you could easily spend two weeks exploring all the hidden beaches and historic towns in depth."
