Tours in Croatia

Croatia - full of life! is the national tagline. And it says it all. With its crystal clear waters, thousands of islands, stunningly beautiful nature parks, lakes, waterfalls and walking trails, there are so many places to discover, so many different activities, that you are spoiled for choice! Cruising in some form is an absolute must. Book a tour of Croatia, choose a cruise where there is a deck and comfortable chairs for relaxing and reading a good book, sunbeds for sunbathing, or a spa tub so you can take a spa and watch the ocean and islands go by. Some cruise boats have steps and an easy landing so guests can swim from the back of the boat when it is moored or anchored. For those who like walking, cycling, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking or parasailing (parachuting off the back of a boat) Croatia offers this and much more. And of course, historical buildings and quaint villages are to be found everywhere throughout this country.
