Steven and Luci Itinerary
hire a car from Hertz from Rovinj to Split
- Rovinj 2 days or 3 max
- Opitaja – Krka National Park
- Zadar 2 nights
- Primosten (got to stay here)
- Trogir just a lunch stopover on the way to Split
- Split 2 nights
- Cruise from Split to Dobrovnik either staying on a boat or on the islands. You can
find boats for our age group not just party boats. - Dobrovnik 3 nights
* Watch out for people trying to rip you off everywhere.
* Don’t get in a taxi until you ask the price. Their daughter had a $400 AUD deduction for a taxi ride in Dobrovnik.
Initial plan:
- Split-day trip to Trogir, Krka National Park, Sibenik old town (Michael thinks Pula could be worth a look)
- Dubrovinik– Stay outside old town near Pile Gate. – see Plitvice, Cavtat. Could do overnight in Korcula (9 nights, 8 full days)
Details





- For a boat trip from Hvar I would warmly recommend Island Discovery. As a skipper, I can tell you honestly there are many better caves arround Vis instead of Blue Cave which is crazy expensive and you spend 5min inside (swimming is not alowed there)
- Definitely take a look at Island Discovery
- for the rafting on Cetina river I recommend maldukadventures.com

- We’ve officially opted for Hvar over Korcula to use it as a better base for boat trips.
Howdy please see the itinerary below happy for people to join with us and won’t be offended if you choose the Hackett’s itinerary but will be a little sad (joking)
