Day 1 Monday
Split – Pag
Upon leaving Split we head to the great seaside town of Primosten where you can climb up to the monastary on the hill and enjoy some great views. Its then back to town for a seaside coffee. Back on the bus we head to Krka national park and after a brief look at some of the waterfalls on the boardwalks you can go to a section for a swim. The swim is nothing short of amazing and is the highlight of the tour for most of our travellers: a large fresh water pool with numerous waterfalls which you can swim under and behind. There is a 80Kuna park entrance fee (not included in the tour price).
So after another journey on the bus we arrive to the island of Pag and drive to the northern end where we will stay for 2 nights in the luxurious hotel. This hotel offers large rooms with modern amenities and huge bathrooms with baths,lots of great quality toiletries and a big TV. Most rooms also offer a balcony or window with sea views. Once you manage to leave your rooms you can go and enjoy the many facilities on offer. Two pools (indoor and outdoor) a fitness centre with many saunas and steam rooms (guests are entitled to one free use), cocktail bar and a sea side jetty where people can sunbathe and jump into the ocean from. On offer are the services of a Masseur and Beautician for everything from back massages to skin exfolitation. After dinner we head into town to enjoy a meal at the best restaurant in town. After dinner it is off to Zrce beach for a night of partying. We have arranged free shots on arrival and we also have drink specials to look forward too.
Day 2 Tuesday
Pag
The next day after a full hot buffet breakfast the morning is free to enjoy the facilities and recover from the night before. At 12pm we head off to a great winery on the island for wine, cheese and ham tasting at a small extra cost. After the tasting you will be shown how the wine is produced and there is an opportunity to purchase what is a Gold Medal winning Croatia wine (red merlot). It is then off to Zrce beach for an afternoon of sports. On offer is jet skiing, a great cable ski park and waterslides (all for a small supplement) or the guide will have some beach sports equipment to get the blood pumping. Of course you can just chill on the beach and soak up the rays. It is up to you if you want to party away another night at the beach or head back to the hotel for a buffet dinner.
Day 3 Wednesday
Pag – Plitvice National Park
The next day it is an early departure to Plitvicka National Park. Land of the falling lakes! We will arrive by lunchtime and along the way pick up some food to eat whilst hiking. Entrance is included and paid by the guide. We embark on a 2-3 hour walk around the main part of the 16 lakes - a truly amazing experience: the water colour is everything from azure blue to green and the waterfalls are everywhere. This park is home to brown bears, wolves, otters, frogs, ducks, wild boars and even a small population of Lynxes! After the walk there is a short trip to Camping Korana. If you want to see more there is a transfer back to campground at 5 pm (cost of 10 kuna). The cabins at the campground are simple yet comfortable and passengers can make use of mini market, restaurant and bar or just soak up the tranquility of the Croatian wilderness.
Day 4 Thursday
Plitvice National Park to Split
We have an early departure back to Split but along the way we'll stop in the scenic town of Knin and head an ancient fortress (historically the capital of the Croatian Kings). This fortress was also the home of the Serbian independence movement during the recent war. This is also the lunch break and a great opportunity for some aesome photos. It is then back to split. After a walking tour of Split we will head to a special little cafe/bar for a final farewell drink (provided by guide as part of the tour).
