ABOUT THIS TRIP

Golden-hued towns lapped by sparkling azure waters, picturesque off-shore islands and some of the best food on the continent; Croatia is the Mediterranean dream come to life.

It’s a summer playground for those that want a little bit of everything: good food, perfect beaches, vineyards, waterfalls and island exploration. On this Flash Pack adventure, you’ll get to experience all of this, and more. 

But what do we mean by ‘and more’? Well, how do speedboat transfers and stand-up paddleboarding tours sound? Or an alfresco BBQ party at the end of the river you’ve just kayaked down waterfalls on? Eight days in Croatia with Flash Pack isn’t just well-worn paths to well-known highlights. It’s private rib boats to isolated snorkeling spots. It’s fine dining in idyllic restaurants where a dip in the sea is encouraged between courses. And it’s cycling through rugged, unspoiled scenery before sampling local wine and deliciously fresh oysters.  

You see, when we say this is Croatia, ‘and more’ – we really do mean it.

OUR FAVORITE HOTELS

Here's a taste of the hotels we sometimes use on this adventure. The hotels you'll stay in for your departure will be shared with you one month before you go.

Canopy by Hilton, Zagreb

The industrial chic aesthetic at this city centre hotel pays homage to its former life as a chocolate factory. Think over-sized vintage posters, a bright funky bar and signature Canopy beds to ensure a good night’s sleep after exploring Zagreb’s vibrant street life.

Hotel Neptun, Dubrovnik

On the tip of a peaceful peninsula with sea views all around, this high-rise modernist hotel is an Adriatic gem. Guests have access to 3 pools, 5 restaurants, a wellness centre and watersports equipment – what more could you want?

FENOMEN PLITVICE

Nature meets comfort at this charming lakeside resort, with a cluster of traditional wooden cottages featuring rustic-chic interiors. Sample regional specialities such as trout, wild boar and truffle ravioli or take a hike through the self-guided woodland trails.

Important Notes

Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code

Fly into Zagreb Airport (ZAG) and out of Dubrovnik Airport (DBV).

What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?

Please try to arrive in Zagreb before 3 pm on Day 1, although we will arrange a transfer for you at whichever time you arrive.

What time should my flight depart on the last day?

Feel free to depart at your own leisure on Day 8, but we recommend taking an afternoon flight so you can relax in Dubrovnik before you fly home.

Are airport transfers included?

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer will be included. If you book alternative pre-tour accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport you must arrange your own arrival transfer.

Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and will be in groups depending on flight times. Sometimes this means waiting in the airport for a short while until other flights have arrived.

We don’t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. However, your Pack Leader will offer you support with finding a local taxi.

Will this itinerary change?

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.

Do I need a visa?

You do not normally need a visa if you’re visiting as a tourist from the EU, UK, USA, Australia or Canada. Please check with your local consulate/embassy if the country you are travelling from requires a visa. 

From 2024, ETIAS travel authorization will be an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to European countries https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias/what-etias_en.

We recommend that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport and can show a return ticket.

What are the Covid-19 requirements for visiting Croatia?

Due to the changeable nature of Covid-19 entry requirements, we strongly advise Flashpackers to consult the travel advice issued by your local consular services well in advance of your departure date. Some countries do still require travelers to comply with pre-arrival testing and/or vaccination requirements. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.

Will we be staying in Dubrovnik's old town?

Due to high demand for hotels in the centre of Dubrovnik, we’ve chosen to stay at the beachfront Hotel Neptun this year as we believe it offers best value for money and meets our high Flash Pack standards. Your Pack Leader can help you arrange a taxi into Dubrovnik (10 minutes) if needed.
