About this trip
Join a vibrant, small group of open-hearted women on a journey through Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian Coast, where historic seaside towns, crystal-clear waters, and authentic local experiences come together in unforgettable ways. Wander the ancient streets of Split, explore the breathtaking waterfalls of Krka National Park, and cruise across the Adriatic by private speedboat to the glamorous island of Hvar. Along the way, meet a father-and-son olive oil producer, learn from a third-generation beekeeper, and spend an afternoon on a family farm dating back to the 1500s, sharing incredible food, wine, and stories with a young Croatian farmer. From swimming in turquoise waters to cooking traditional dishes with a local chef, and from hilltop farm views to sunset strolls along the waterfront, this is more than a trip. It’s a chance to slow down, connect with inspiring women, experience the heart of Croatia beyond the guidebooks, and feel alive in one of the most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean.

Farm Life and Hilltop Feast
Authentic Croatian Farm Experience Above Split
Leisurely Morning in Split
Enjoy a leisurely morning in Split. Grab a coffee along the waterfront, explore the historic streets, climb Marjan Hill for beautiful views over the city and sea, or simply enjoy a slow breakfast before we head out for the afternoon.
Afternoon on a Historic Family Farm
A short drive will bring us to the hills above Split for one of the most authentic experiences of our trip. We’ll spend the afternoon on a farm dating back to the 1500s, where a young farmer will welcome us to his family’s farm with a traditional welcome drink. Take in the jaw dropping views from his hilltop farm including the famous fortress featured in Game of Thrones. We’ll learn about the farm and hear about his life as a 30-something farmer. We are in for a treat with the spread he prepares for us. Everything he makes is from his farm meats he smokes, red and white wine from his grapes, olive oil from his olive trees, then he accompanies it with incredible cheese his mom makes from the goats and homemade delicious bread. This is the kind of local experience that few visitors ever get to have.
Enjoy a free evening in Split-a cocktail on the rooftop of our hotel, a walk down the promenade or dinner in Diocletian's Palace.
