Slideshow offer placeholder
This carefully crafted itinerary takes you on a captivating odyssey through the enchanting landscapes of Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro. Soak up Slovenia's natural wonders, tracing the shores of stunning Lake Bled, summiting a craggy Triglav National Park peak in the Julien Alps, hiking the spectacular Soca River Valley, and sampling artisan cheese and wine along the way. Cross to Croatia to paddle the sparkling Adriatic, then travel inland to marvel at UNESCO-listed waterfalls in Plitvice National Park and climb to iconic Anica Kuk. The Adriatic calls you back to the coast to discover the Dalmatian islands through hikes, culinary delights, and historical treasures. Immerse yourself in Dubrovnik's beauty and past, then it's off to Montenegro's gorgeous Bay of Kotor and more storybook villages and hiking through diverse and spectacular landscapes.

  • Paddle along the rugged Croatian coastline of the Adriatic on crystal-clear waters
  • Summit Mt. Debela Pec and Mt. Ilija for picturesque panoramic views
