This was a game changing experience for us. I can’t explain in words the feeling of this family adventure week. I would say book as soon as you can. Lots of top tips in the TripAdvisor page, also look at that. Its truly amazing x

Susan Lawrie, Nottingham

This Brac island adventure holiday is up there with my favourite holiday memories! A great way to see Croatia, visitng some of the Islands and taking in the stunning views everyday. We were lucky to be with some great families with teenagers so we had a lot of fun and a lot of silly laughs. Maybe more challenging than I was expecting, but for me that just made the experience all the more better! Very happy, please keep in touch for next year in Omis.

Belinda White, Chiswick

Hello several months late (so sorry!!!) My review is as follows: My single parent holiday to Croatia was one of the highlights of the year. The weather was perfect, the guides were friendly and the scenery we got to see was nothing short of amazing. When I first arrived, I was a little skeptical how much I was going to enjoy myself. I need have not worried. Lots of mums and dads all in the same boat. The weather was perfect for riding, walking, swimming and chilling. This coupled with great company, great food, great activities, great everything made the week seem all the more amazing. Thanks for helping me throughout the booking process.

Linda May, Richmond

Our favorite activity was rafting. So many laughs and comedy moments! Accommodation very comfortable. Really liked the Hotel Plaza in Omis. Our Tour leader absolutely fantastic, could not have been any better! Superstar! Other tour leaders were also really helpful! We might consider this again, and come back with my sisters family.

Fallon Levinson, Chelmsford

Really enjoyed our first experience of a family activity holiday. We will definitely do it again. Thank you to Nevin for making it so easy and stress free! Croatia Family Holidays is an exceptional find. We sourced them through Trip Advisor.

Carl Franz, Chester

A revealing adventure experience that brought us in a close contact with the Croatian landscape, people, food and of course wine & beer for parents. I was pleasantly surprised to see how smoothly a multi adventure week could be organised, the hosts there are brilliant. I definitely felt relaxed throughout, and the evenings with other guests and families was awesome.

Amy Green , Ealing

We went for a week to Croatia and stayed in Omis. Weather was fantastic, ranging between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius. Location was perfect, had Split, Trogir and Omis (among others) for site seeing and plenty of activities near by. The activities we did were rafting, Zip-Lining, optional speed boat day, canyoning and sunset hike. All of the activities were well organised and I didn’t need to think about a thing whilst I was out there, could just relax and de-stress from work! Guides, hotel staff and people in general were very easy going, a great laugh, very positive and we got on really well; they really made the trip special and were very engaging so we got the most out of the trip. Prices were very good value out there a beer typically was around £2.00. In summary this was one of my top 5 holidays, I would recommend it to anyone.

Peter Dodds, Worcester

We would like to say a massive thank you to the Croatia Family Holidays Team for organising and providing an unforgettable family active holiday experience. It was absolutely fantastic and the holiday was far beyond our expectations! The team put together a great package with many small personal touches which accumulated to an overall exceptional service. Our Croatian guide was knowledgeable, friendly, warm and helpful but yet he was professional.

Katie Taylor, Reading

Well organised . Marija and Barisa and hotel staff were excellent . Food allergies of children very well dealt with .
Great holiday overall and will definitely consider using company again .

Margot Donachie, Oxford

Our whole activity week in Croatia has been very memorable. We’ve experienced great activities with great company, in great location with great beaches! You couldn’t ask for more on this adventure holiday.

Alan Large, Tamworth

The only upsetting point was leaving Brac island. My kids had in their own words Wicked times. Great to see Split, and walk the old town streets. Had been staring at pictures of this since I booked this Croatia family active holiday. Great feeling to have been there now. Surprisingly this wasn’t even the highlight.

Serena Davidson, Cardiff

Your family multi activity holiday in Croatia is simply incredible. Everything we expected and a lot more unexpected. Days consisted of breakfast on the balcony, doing a fun activity, cheap pizza, swim and sunbathe, beer on the balcony with book. Repeated! The families we met were so awesome, your crew worked quietly in the background. The gala meals included were a highlight and the socialable atmosphere around the table will make dinners seem so quiet now. Croatia is so special, maybe canyoning was my favourite for it’s amazing pristine waters but every place had it’s own personality and vibe. The locals are friendly, and don’t seem to mind the dad dancing and thirst for Croatian beer. We would recommend anyone looking to meet nice people, that like sports and nature to do your trips.

Sarah Hughes, Keynsham

Greetings all, Please forgive the delay in making my feedback, it has been a little hectic of late! To answer your question in a nutshell: Our week Croatia family adventure holiday was excellent. Our tour leader Gio was particularly helpful and courteous. Croatia’s islands are beautiful and Brac is the best of thee bunch. Omis is full of history , culture and stunning coastal bays. Evenings were spent in many nice taverna bars inside the maze of narrow streets. The days were a perfect blend of active fun, great food and sunshine. My 12 year old daughter said this was her best holiday yet and my 17 year old has already mentioned coming back. Many thanks, I’m happy to write this review on TripAdvisor if that helps.

Dom Jenkins, Brixton

Hi Ivo and Kristi! We had an amazing time! Was honestly better than we could have ever imagined. Croatia was beautiful, our new friends were great banter, Croatian staff were great and the food was lovely! Thank you very much for a super active time in Croatia. We will be recommending your family adventures in Omis x

Gavin Gaylard, Richmond

The Omis week itinerary really caught my attention, being able to achieve, do and see a lot in a short space of time. We actually combined this family Croatia active vacation with a longer tour I’d planned, heading from the north of Istria down to Dubrovnik. There were of course many highlights, but our stay in Omis with your exceptional team was the very best. Nothing negative to report, only positives, it ran like clockwork and actually we did more than the itinerary promised. The staff really go out there way to make you feel part of their family, it’s a lovely feeling. The Plaza hotel is a modern 4 star standard, the activity staff are 5 stars. Would I change anything? No I wouldn’t, it’s a great program, packed full of fun. And Yes, I would recommend people trying this multi active family holiday in Croatia, it won’t disappoint in anyway.

Matthew Price, Norwich

The Croatia teenager activity holiday was great thanks  and I only wish we could have stayed a few days longer!! Best day was canyoning and a close second being the kayaking or the optional boat trip with the other families. Omis is lovely, good food, great hotel and we met some lovely people. Tina and Kristina were great hosts and guides and looked after us really well.

Sandra Billinge, Glasgow

This was a lovely multi sport week, with loads of amazing water sports in Croatia; from moderate paddling through idyllic Dalmatia calm waters to foaming rapids. It was a nice contrast from water to land, again, seeing Croatia from a different perspective and the reason for needing a big memory card in my camera I recommend to bring a waterproof camera, great for this kind of teenager active holiday. Thanks and yes, i would recommend using your adventure company. 5 stars!

Frank Axum , Reading

Canyoning was our favourite activity for the whole family – seemed more adventurous than the other activities. Cycling was very good as well; it lasted for the right amount of time, with all the stops – great! Accommodation could improve if they include drying facilities in every room, otherwise the apartments were very good. It was fantastic that kids were allowed to use pool late at night! The reps were fab too. Listening to Croatian history and local knowledge of reps was very informative, interesting and added to the experience! Overall – excellent, thanks a lot! Regards, Karen and kids.

Karen Mason, Nottingham

Our favourite activities were Sup boarding and biking, but we thoroughly enjoyed all activities. Lana and Russo are fantastic, always eager to please us. The sporting staff were wonderful, the apartment itself excellent position to the sea and village centre, walking distance to everything we needed. The best cocktail can be found at Cvic bar, also a great place to hide from the kids. However, there was no hiding from the next days morning head! We had a really fantastic time, the group got along so well. We take with us many fond memories of Croatia! We would recommend your family activity holiday in Brac island and Split. Regards – Oliver & kids

Oliver Green, Chsiwick

Our Family active holiday in Croatia was great and I only wish we could have stayed longer!! Best day was climbing on Brac island  (close second being the sea kayaking), worst day – oh, there wasn’t one! Brac and Podstrana are lovely, good food, great apartments were super. Met some nice people and great other families on the trip. Guides were great and looked after us really well.

Richard Perkins, Wetherby

This was a summer family holiday we will always remember and treasure. We were so lucky to see so much with you guys and my husband who is an amateur photographer took some amazing shots. The kids loved the whole Croatia adventure aspect of the holiday and particularly liked the canyoning experience day with your super guides. Thank you so much for your help recommending and arranging this active holiday for us!

Wendy Gladstone , Telford

What an amazing country! What a great people! We loved every bit of our trip, special thanks to our guide Luka who made us feel safe all the way down the river despite our paddling abilities. If your kids are of that age, where they need to meet other teens, this is a brilliant idea. There a small company, with a big energy for customer service. Places are very limited to 5-7 families. So book early. We had tried to book 2 years ago, but you were sold out. We tried again and they were sold out. 3rd time lucky I guess.

Dwight Mills, Chiswick

This review should all be about the guides. Your staff are simply the best I’ve encountered and I work in hospitality. Your guides have so much patience , banter and special abilities of blending with parents and teenagers. Daniel, if you read this, thank you, your funny stories and jokes are still told whenever we gather in the UK. You will not be forgotten.

Robert Lee, Hull

My two teenagers say this was an absolute highlight of their summer. I would recommend to other parents travelling with kids.

Michelle O’Brian, Belfast

We searched high and low for a family waterspouts holiday in Croatia and finally found you guys. Jackpot! This is what activity holiday is all about; great food, wonderful guides, amazing activities and lots of laughs! We met some lovely people and kids have already became Facebook friends with all the other kids in our group. We are lucky we came across your website!

Linda Magnus, Darlington

I recommend everyone to book your Brac island family adventure week. This is the best 7 nights we ever spent on any family activity holiday. So much action, splashing, swimming, jumping – teens loved it. If we ever come back to Croatia this will be the one thing we will definitely do again. Thanks Russo, Maria and Daniel.

Karen Michener, Clapham

We booked this trip 4 years ago and I apologise for not leaving a review. This is a brilliant trip, your kids will love it. My only comment is that the route for kayaking should be more suitable for bigger kids (mine were 10 & 11 and struggled in the end). I am not the biggest fan of water but jokes and funny stories that Daniel was telling us along the way made the trip so much fun. I’m glad that my kids talked me into this, as we did see the parts of rural Croatia we wouldn’t usually ever get to see.

Daniela Penman, Harlow

I have two fussy teens. One is 17 and the other one 13, I don’t have to mention how hard it is to please them both! When I came across your website and I saw all the lovely pictures of the other teens smiling, I decided to make a call. One of your travel managers recommended the teenager activity week trip for us. After the first day in the canyon with my teens, other families with similar aged kids and ‘supercool’ guides, I had two teens smiling! Thank you for arranging it all, you helped to make our summer. Accommodation is 3 star, but everything else surpasses 5 stars. This company cares about its clients.

Hannah Barford, St Albans

We can’t thank you guys enough for making our 2 week active holiday in Croatia so wonderful. Your patient guides (especially Mario!) were so supportive and helped us to learn the basics of all the activities. Our children really excelled. We could enjoy our day trips more than just chilling, but the accommodation setup is perfect for lazy days aswell.  We are so glad we decided to go to Croatia over Greece this year, such a lovely country. If we had to do one week over the other, how preference was Brac Island. We’d grade that week 11/10.

Andrea Gawkins, Huntingdon

This was our first time doing a single parent adventure holiday. First time in a raft, and our first family adventure holiday in Croatia. We were so lucky that we had such a funny and understandable tour leader. Marko made us all feel safe all the way through. We loved every second of the multi-active week! The River was fresh when we always stopped for a swim when we could.  Thanks guys, you made our week in Croatia so exciting and great! For single parents looking to buddy up with similar mums and dads, and to keep your teens smiling, join this trip.

Alison Bridges, Leeds

We planned this Brac island adventure with another family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was our first time in Croatia and we decided to see more than just the beaches and old towns. So we chose to do a multi-activity week with your team. Best decision we could have made! We loved the excitement of our ‘attempt to paddle’ on the sea. SUP boarding is so inclusive, something we will try and do again as a family in England. Laughter and hilarious jokes made by our guide Daniel along the way! Thank you Maria and Russo for all. your encouraging words. The kids love the experience. We felt really proud looking at the amazing photos you sent us! Lots of love from both families xx

Nichole Brennan, Boston

We are now back home after our first family adventure holiday in Croatia. You guys at Croatia Family Holidays were truly amazing. Your help putting our activities together and buddying up our kids with other like minded teens was amazing. My kids agree that white water rafting was their absolute favourite! Guides were so great throughout the week, we could not ask for more of an attentive crew during our active holiday. Thank you so much. Vanessa, Daisy and Benny xx

Vanessa Brown, Manchester

The whole family had a BLAST!!! We have 11 year old daughter and our son is 14, both of our kids and my husband and I loved every minute of it!!! River Cetina offers variety of levels, suitable for everyone. We would want to do this again for sure, the only thing is we would come back in July. The guide said that river temperature is much better in summer. We went during the May half term holiday, as part of a family active week.

Carmen Appich, Canterbury

Very highly recommended. The trip was delivered by a well organised team with professional attitudes towards safety. This is family fun at its best. Many thanks for looking after me and my girls.

Helen Gooding , Nottingham

It was an amazing family experience. First time on a kayak and never climbed before. The staff were very helpful, whenever you do something wrong, they give confidence and the skills. Brac is beautiful, the varied landscapes are amazing. From rolling hills to perfect coastlines. Climbing for me was the best, my wife loved the SUP boarding and my twin teens loved the cycling. If coming to Croatia, do the Brac island experience for the week. You’ll leave as a family team.

Gordon Parks, Exeter

If you’re looking for an outdoors family activity hoiday in Croatia I’d definitely recommend a trip with Croatia Family holidays. The staff were fun and helpful from start to finish and we always felt safe with the instructors. We went in August and the heat was delightful. Gorgeous warm breezes and sunshine beaming off the Adriatic Sea. We didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed our island time leisurely paddling, biking, climbing, splashing, laughing, eating. This is a wow-factor holiday. Maybe not cheap, but totally worth it. Big family experience!

Dev Pavinder , Newcastle

We hear this might be the last single parent adventure holiday in Croatia you might run, which is terrible news. We had a fantastic time, a lovely mix of mums and dads in the same boat. All the kids mixed well, with a few younger ones showing us parents up – doing the activities better than us! This is definitely a teenager activity holiday type experience. The activities team were awesome , enthusiastic and inclusive of all ages. The pool is great but not massive, and the beach is just a stroll away. We loved Brac island, and our favourite activities were SUP boarding and climbing. My daughter who is 14 years, said this was her best ever family holiday. Mum 1, Ex-husband 0.

Alison Harris , Chiswick

We did the Croatia island adventure week in July this year and it was great! The temperature of the water was like bath water, I never wanted to get out. The location is perfect for families with kids or teenagers. All the ages got on really well. Your office staff were very transparent about ages/genders of other kids booked on. During the active holiday in Croatia we were guided by Russo and he did a great job! I imagine Brac will be in the spot light soon, so I urge families to get there now rather than later.

Sue Parsons , Swansea

Lovely experience thanks Russo. Without too many spoilers for families reading this, we came away on a real high. Brac island is a gem. The apartments are modern and perfectly located. I ran most days along the sea front, ending with a swim in the sea. The village is so tranquil in the morning and the sunsets are burning orange, pinks and reds. We would change a thing and will be joining your family mainland trip next season. Thanks from me, Alice and the boys.

Colin Thurton, Worcester

As good as it gets. We are Croatia converts! The nature, the people, the adventures. If you want a family active type holiday in Europe, then try Croatia. Pristine blue waters, great food, and wild river rapids. What a family trip.

Des Simms, Sidbury

This is probably the best family adventure holiday you can go on in Europe hands down. You get to kayak, Sup board, bike and cycle, plus loads more hidden surprises. Brilliant fun. We were with families who had never done an active holiday before but it didn’t matter because Dan and Russo are the best. Fantastic fun. Highlight of our trip was the climbing – thank you

Debbie Spencer , Cork

The Accommodation was very nice, clean, comfortable, each apartment overlooking the pool area. We spent 7 nights on this fabulous Croatia family adventure holiday on Brac island. Each day wassuperb, lots of laughing and playing with other families. The local village is just gorgeous, I could live there in a heartbeat. Here on our days off we used to spend the whole day without any need to go anywhere far. Everything is 5 minutes walk. Kids were safe, parents were happy, locals friendly. Our hosts that run the activity week are very friendly, they really try hard to make their guests feel comfortable on vacation. Russo and Daniel are just delightful.

Helen Spriggs, Derby

I was really impressed how clean Croatia is. The people are friendly and love to show off their culture and traditions. Go before the mass tourism comes. Split was by far the best city, Dubrovnik was nice but over crowded at times. My teenagers are fans of Games of Thrones and they loved walking the routes of their favourite characters.

Matt Hughes, York

All personnel were very friendly and helpful. The activities were great and designed to the correct tempo for families. You are running a eco minded personal business, in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you from all our family.

Elliot Christchurch, Birmingham

Drina, Sara and Russo were fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the speed boat your with Tomo, he was fantastic. Defintely consider extending your stay in Dalmatia, there is lots to do.

Jake Dillinger, South Brent

Fabulous experience. Croatia is a beautiful country. We loved this family adventure vacation from start to finish. Do it before your kids head to Ibiza.

Roy Dean, Finchley

As a family we had been to Croatia before, but not as a planned family activity holiday with other people. We liked the flexibility in the trip and at the same time, lots of pre-planned days. We bonded with our children and had ‘ME’ time aswell. Surprisingly, this adventure holiday was relaxing. My teenagers were off having fun and I knew they were safe and very happy. Your guides, Russo and Josip are excellent.

Magda Peters, Hetton

We loved all of it, especially the speed boat island tour was amazing. More apartment information would have been great, maybe a intro booklet would be a good idea. More TV channels better for the kids, although the WiFi was very fast and strong. Great teenager activity holiday based in Croatia, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over. We loved it.

Steve Williams, Ringwood

Activities were great, accommodation was excellent. My kids loved hanging out by the pool. As a parent of two teenagers, I was very relaxed the whole time being with other families and having your caring team there. We had a few teething issues with the WiFi and Aircon, but they got promptly fixed by your staff. But maybe test these things before the season starts. All in All a great Croatia active holiday was had and we would repeat it with you.

Mike Murphy, Ashford

The Adriatic is picture perfect. A vast wonderful blue sea. We had many sublime days relaxing on pristine beaches and snorkelling in calm warm waters. Having a professional company organise everything is so easy and stress free, I have no idea why we hadn’t started doing this three years ago. My boys are 15, 17 and 21 and they all loved it. Canyoning, climbing, cycling, SUP boarding were family favourites. Jump, hike, swim, paddle, splash, laugh, eat, drink, play, chill, repeat. My only problem with the trip, is that we missed the 7.30pm welcome gala meal. I feel we should have been told better about that start time, so we could have found the right flights. Antonella was a great tour leader and we loved Jospia.

Mark Heslin, Hull

I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you guys again. The Brac island experience is just super. My teen daughters and young son, can’t stop talking about the days of fun we had. Defo enjoyable days and fun nights. We met lots of nice families, the accommodation super and very safe for kids. Tour Leaders were masterful at there craft. Obviously professional and flexible to our needs. Russo was great with the kids and engaging with the parents. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. For people that are traveling responsibly. These are low impacting activities on the environment and this company supports conservation and pro-actively encourages ec0 policies. We donated to their clean beaches charity, which the company matched in donation. We thought that was nice, and very different to big companies. We had a great stay.

James Payne, Sheffield

This was our first experience of a family adventure holiday and Croatia seemed to be very fitting. Warm weather, gorgeous blue sea, epic canyons, affordable food and friendly locals. Activities were great. River activities were best, but we also loved climbing with Daniel on Brac and the Sup Boarding activity. You cannot miss canyoning and river tubbing, incredible fun. Overall this was a truly memorable vacation. Thank you from the Webber family.

Karen Webber, Bristol

We loved this active holiday in Croatia and would recommend to others, as long as you like sport and appreciate nature. This is not your typical holiday. These are small groups of families, that want to socialise and bond together. Your company really brings out the best in us all. It was just wonderful to experience it with my 3 teenagers. River tubbing was my personal favourite, but I’m sure if you asked Daisy, Hannah and Oliver, they would say a different day. All were special for different reasons. I also like the fact you are an eco minded company. Just be sure you are genuinely fit enough to book an adventure holiday. This is adventure that meets relaxation, so I believe there is something for everyone. The accommodation was perfect and better than expected, we liked the sun lounging area and the beach was 5 minutes walk away. We will be booking with you again. Please send me the link to the DVD, that your camera crew were making, I didn’t get a copy!! Surely the Williams were the stars?!?!

Keith Williams, Banbury

All the Tour Leaders and guides have been fabulous from the initial contact with the office to the staff at the resort. Big shout to Drinna for joining in the activities and guiding us to so much fun. Speed boat was epic, as was the canyoning. Local people made us feel very welcome and we found many wonderful sides to this Dalmatia area. Top tip – buy water shoes for pebble beaches.

Nick Davis, Chiswick

This two week family adventure holiday surpassed expectations. It offered more time and experiences than other similar active holidays abroad. You have a superbly attentive team who all seem to really enjoy what they do. There are no weak moments on this trip. Food during gala meals was traditional and even enjoyed by my fussy 15 and 17 year olds. The cheap beer was appreciated by the dads in the group, and I believe mums loved the fact, that little thinking had to be done. Excellent active vacation in Croatia, many thanks to all of you. Especially Russo and Maria.

Danielle Gower, Leicester

Staff were friendly, and very sweet with my youngest son Toby. Zara my eldest loved meeting so many girls her own age, which took the pressure off mum and dad. We all felt ‘Looked after’ and really can see why people rave about Croatia. The food is Italian style, but maybe less refined with bigger portions. The nature is simply beautiful and the activities we experienced were extremely well operated. We really respect how your company runs the daily tours and co-ordinates with all the families. Its not an easy job, but you make it look easy. We had a great stay and would encourage others to simply ‘Go!’

Alice Beckett, Glasgow

I booked this teenager activity holiday about 13 months, on a recommendation from a family friend. We’ve been so looking forward to it, regularly watching your videos and following your Facebook feeds. Now we are home and very sad, and very much missing you guys! For myself and Nigel, this active holiday was been an absolute gift. Not just an easy holiday to be a part of, but to see how happy our 2 teenagers were.  Definitely come to be social, everyone is fun and engaging. Your Tour Leaders are super hero’s, and really know how to figure everyone out and make them feel comfortable. Croatia is a wonderful country, very affordable but book your flights early.

Elle Kineton, Bromsgrove

It’s really hard to say what our favourite day was. Sea kayaking was relaxing and scenic, canyoning was an explorers heaven and tubbing was laughs per minute. The views were stunning, the guides were friendly and the activities very varied to keep up our interest levels. My three teenagers were not bored. Top tips for parents, try to increase your fitness before hand. Some mums struggled and didn’t enjoy the experience as much as everyone else. You don’t have to be incredibly fit, but those that never exercise or carrying that chocolate timber, they might want to walk the dog a bit more. This is a family activity holiday after all. Overall this family activity holiday in Croatia was well planned and operated. Guides were all local and very friendly. My kids loved them! So did I !

Janet Armstrong, Norwich

If you haven’t been to Croatia, then you must go! If you are going to go, then book with Croatia Family Holidays. Apart from the bus driver that got us lost on the way to climbing (it was funny though), this family activity holiday is the best we’ve experienced in Europe (now our 6th trip). Brac island is delightful, and without mass tourism. The water is gorgeous, you can literally spend hours swimming and snorkelling and not get cold. Our favourite activity was SUP boarding and the climbing (when we got there lol). Really well organised and many thanks to Russo, and Dan the Man.

Katy Geary, Stoke

This was a very memorable holiday, possibly our best. Although this is not 5 star accommodation, the apartments are in wonderful locations, very safe, and have all the modern facilities – bu for this families that can afford luxury hotels, please remember this is an adventure Croatia family vacation.  The welcomes meals and farewell meals were all in different locations, so we felt like we really getting to see more of Croatia at every twist and turn of the activity holiday. Your staff and guides really go the extra yard, to create an authentic experience. We really appreciated this. Our favourite guide is impossible to say. On the island of Brac we had Russo and Daniel, representing the mainland adventure week (our second week) there was the fabulous Sara and Maria. My boys said the boat trip was their favourite day, but as a family we absolutely loved rafting and SUP boarding. It was nice to connect with my two boys and not to feel like I was cramping their style.

Simon Conlan, Belfast

Family Croatia activity holidays definitely are suited to the region. Thank you for making it such a fabulous week for the kids. There were very sad goodbyes at the airport and we would consider coming again. What’s not to like? Good food, great weather, lovely people. Hope that answers your questions, thx Marie x

Karen Whittle, Chester

My husband, myself  and kids in tow had an amazing holiday with you. Everything can be labelled as excellent. Very well organised and informative guide/drivers (Russo in particular, who is so patient with the noisy teens). He is an excellent guide, always safety conscious and knowledgeable about the area. He showed a genuine interest in our lives in the UK as well as giving us plenty information about Croatia life. Our kids loved him to bits (so did i… but don’t tell my husband). All the other families were hilarious and great company. This is a must-do trip for families wanting to connect with their children, before they disappear off to Ibiza & Zante.

Rachel Pickerton, Worcester

Great mix of adults and children, great guides and hosts! We loved the country, history and scenery. Thank you to all! Louise x

Louise Tavistock, East Sheen

The white water rafting and sea kayaking were nothing short of awesome, and the whole experience from start to finish on this trip was simply fantastic (best ever from my 11 year old son who got to paddle, splash and laugh with many peers). Croatia Family holidays create a nice balance during the week, and there is plenty of beach time. Croatia’s history is rich, but we had no idea how diverse the nature is here! We were truly wow’ed by the breath taking canyons, waterfalls, mountains, and rivers. If you enjoy being with other families, and like pre-planned activities, then this is a very suitable trip to book. Many thanks, from myself, Debbie and the kids. Rgds

Daniel Lenner, Ipswich

Wow! The week was fabulous thanks. We had so much fun. Favourite activity: SUP boarding closely followed by the sea kayaking tour close to the mainland. Accommodations for both weeks were very good, comfortable beds. We loved the fact everything was there what we needed; ATM, supermarket, swimming pool and free Wifi. Your local staff were always friendly and they catered to all different food requirements for kids very well. Big thank you to Jelena, Kaver & Bolli; organisation was great, guides were brilliant!

Marie Jeamson, Dublin

Dear Katarina and team, we had a recent holiday week with you in Croatia. Just wanted to say many thanks for looking after us so well. We had a fabulous time. It is so lovely to go somewhere which has not been destroyed by commercialisation and meet a team so professional yet very relaxed. I haven’t laughed so much in ages, Would love to return. Thanks also for the photos which are a brilliant memory. Best wishes – Breda, Chris, Adam, Yasmin x

Yasmin Helmford, Dorset

Our guides on Brac island were excellent. I graded the equipment and safety as excellent throughout. When asked about the apartment standard of rooms, food and the staff, again..yes – excellent. In fact the food – Amazing! The portions were huge and so really filling, perfect for after a mad day of activities. Overall experience, u guessed it – excellent. Oh and can i just also praise the office staff. The knowledge and support of your travel manager was excellent. We had never heard of Brac island and grateful we listened to you. If you have children in the tricky teenage ages, then this is a must-do holiday, that brings the family together. Thanks Daniel and Peter.

Laura Finlayson, Kettering

Thank you for organising a memorable and exciting time in Croatia for myself and kids. We are still all talking about it two weeks later. My kids actually said i was cool !! Can you help with corporate trips ?? i have a number of corporate and club trips happening this year, i will be asking for your ideas and assistance for these. I’m sure i can speak on behalf of all the families, that the overall experience was nothing short of ‘amazing’. The canyons are stunning and so much fun, this would be the highlight. No real tips come to mind? Everything was well organised and included what we needed. With best regards from a rainy grey England.

Peter Lowe, Chipenham

I was recommended to try Croatia by my neighbour and was certainly enticed by your facebook pictures. This 14 night family adventure was one of the most memorable times of our family lives. Seriously, it was none stop fun for the whole family and not just my restless 17 & 18 year olds. We met some great people along the way (especially the other families booked on). We laughed & screamed throughout the trip. We loved the thrilling bike descents on Brac island, taking on river rapids and sliding down the canyon hot pools. Thank you so much, this was great from start to finish, its a shame you guys only offer Croatia.

Ryan Bennet, Luton

We had a great stay on Brac island and very much enjoyed our stay with your team. For me, I liked the fact we were kept entertained and busy. My husband is a bit more of a pool and book man, but even he loved the new challenges and experiences. We made lots of new friends during the activity days, and most we only 5-15 minute bike away. So we often buddied up with other families during afternoons and evenings. We participated in some incredible activities and the staff were great personalities and very kind to our 2 kids. The facilities for the sports we booked were brilliant and 100% safe, no grumbles there. Apartment was very nice and of course the location is divine. Brac was a lovely place to chill, and we even made it to the mainland one day to see Split. The island is very picturesque and NOT a bit over run with tourists, so glad we came to Brac instead of Hvar. Overall, the combination of activities was right for our family, the Croatians were a delight and I would recommend to others seeking this type of family vacation to go for it. Thank you to Daniel and his staff x

I just wanted to email you to say what a great holiday. For us it was the perfect combination of activities and chilling out. Russo was brilliant as our guide and host all week. He seemed to genuinely enjoy taking us out on the activities and made many wonderful recommendations for our free afternoons and day off. Definitely book the sailing trip. I have already been recommending this water sports holiday to some of my more adventurous mums. You never know you may even see us back there with them. Many thanks, Helen xox

Not too happy to be back in front of my computer, but more than happy to write this review of our Podstrana adventure week. It started with an on time easy jet flight (hurray!!) and not a massive fan of flying, I was pleased that the flight is a very short one. No issues at Split airport (its tiny), it’s a walk through airport, bags all there (well done Easyjet) and our driver was there to greet us. The drive to Podstrana is just under 45 minutes, but didn’t seem as long as that. It was a relaxed opportunity to meet other guests who had arrived on the same flight. Of course we picked up on the essential information and local lingo (names of local beers for dads). Soon we were checked in and trying our first Croatian cold beer, chilling out on the sun terrace, lazing in the calm heat. The sunsets are epic here! And your kids will never want to leave the swimming pool! First and last evening we had a fantastic 3 course meal and our hosts didn’t drop the baton the whole week. Can’t really ask for more. I probably put more weight on and this was an active holiday in Croatia we booked lol ( ironic hey!!). My favourite day was canyoning, closely by the river tubing. But throughout there were special moments and I was smart enough to buy an all weather proof camera, so have captured alot (mainly adults screaming like little kids). The days long, fun filled and the nights a blast. The guides are very cool and great at what they do. They definitely added to the family adventure holiday experience we had. What would I advise to other travels?! Not a lot. The thinking is done for you. Get in touch with your active side and head to Split and meet Maria, Ante and Russo.

The Brac active holiday was great fun. We were blown away by the raw nature and thought all the local Croatians we came in contact with were charming. Food was delicious; so much organic farming and fresh produce you certainly came back feeling fit and invigorated. Great trip – thank you!

Kylie Bennett, Margate

We had a lovely active holiday with you in Croatia and met some very nice families in our group. Croatia was beautiful and the apartments were very good. We probably enjoyed Brac island more, as the beaches were nearer and nicer. We liked the use of the bikes to navigate around the place quicker. The food was marvellous but the selection of  Gin & Whiskey drinks isn’t always great (obviously fine for kids, just a little grumble for adults). Our Tour Manager was brilliant. Russo was always there whenever we needed him, not in your face, but always discreetly in the background. On a number of occasions he provided us with extra advice which greatly contributed to the enjoyment of this water sports holiday in Croatia. Russo did mention he would share his pictures, how will he do this ?

We got married in Split many years ago in the old town and often talked about the area with our children. So now the children being 13 and 16, we thought we’d show them the beauty of this country. Initially, we had settled on Hvar island, but are now so thankful of your guidance – to have reconsidered and chosen Brac as our base for 10 nights. Maria was our travel manager and couldn’t have been more helpful. The apartments were fantastic. Nice swimming pool, WiFi to keep the kids happy and the sea was a short stroll away. Inside the apartments, best described as: modern , fresh, clean and well run, so no complaints but don’t come for luxury. The nearby supermarket was perfect for daily breakfast. Throughout our stay the staff were amazing, friendly on reception, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Climbing was a fantastic experience, and super booster to me personally, as I’m not that comfortable with heights. I’m so happy I’d didn’t sit out or change the activity! Second favourite for me, but the family fav was definitely the sea kayaking. Transfers worked well, and even no complaints with EasyJet. All in, a wonderful trip. Many thanks.

If you have never been to Croatia then this 2 week family adventure holiday is an ideal starting place. We felt that the trip offered great value and should not be missed if coming here! Split was fabulous, the streets bustling with life and a great eye opener for my two girls, who aren’t used to big city life. We travelled in a small group of 18 of various ages, and all the families got on really well. It was a shame our 10 year old didn’t have someone her own age, but i guess that’s the luck of the draw. You did explain that this type of trip attracts more teenagers. Accommodation was brilliant and we loved the swimming pool. The food throughout the holiday was stupendous, truly 5 stars – as was our tour manager ‘Maria’. I cannot recommend this holiday enough. Enjoy.

Croatia was beyond our expectations; which were already quite high. Being a geography teacher I think I had been secretly hoping we would do this holiday for a very long time but I was glad we did wait until the kids were teenagers and had chance to understand the scale and beauty. We had some special moments and I did my best to keep lectures to an absolute minimum and just let everyone soak it in their own way. Definitely I can say everyone came back buzzing! Great family holiday; probably our best!

Thanks for following up – I am a bit snowed under at the moment with catch up jobs as I have been away for 6 weeks! I will write a more detailed email soon but overall, Alex and I had a wonderful time – Ante and his team were great. They were friendly, attentive, and informative and nothing was too much trouble. We really did feel that we had a “tailor made” experience and we saw various aspects of Croatia. Kind Regards Lizanne.

Lizanne Knights, Swansea

Croatia is beautiful and we had a delightful experience doing all the arranged activities and enjoyed meeting like-minded families too. My 17 year old son and I especially enjoyed the sea kayaking and also the canyoning. What was great about this water sports holiday is that you don’t need to take too much kit, as quality equipment is provided within the package price. A top tip would be to bring water shoes, as beaches are mainly pebbles in Croatia. The food included was very good and accommodation fantastic, it really added to the occasion. Of course the main event was meeting your tour Leaders, i had to hold back the tears from all the laughter we had every day and night. No hesitation in recommending this holiday to others. Many thanks to Russo and Marija, our amazing guides.

This an excellent family activity holiday based close to Split. Friendly staff and drivers throughout the week and wonderful food included. Activity routes are very picturesque and last but not least the guides,  Russo, Ante & Damir, provided a brilliant smiley service. Being a guided family trip, we felt more relaxed, and more engaged with our surroundings.  Some days were longer than others and more information on timings would be useful for future guests in my opinion.

David Vale, Oxford

My wife and kids spent a week here. The accommodation was simply amazing. Rooms were of a 3 star nature, but the views were 5 stars. Most important were the very friendly staff who really tried to make your stay enjoyable. Our local guide Russo was a true gent. The tubing days worked very well, with good equipment provided by your tour leaders. Guided tours were diverse and well organised. Overall very good value and thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Remember to pack lots of sun cream, Croatia is blue skies and hot. Old trainers recommended, although you can rent canyoning boots at the shop. We were advised to bring one large beach towel, we would say bring two per head.

This is our second time I have visited here. Croatia is definitely a place to fall in love with and we will definitely keep coming back. Podstrana is a great place to base yourself. We tried Omis in the past, but it is overwhelmed with people and cars. Omis is a good place to visit but not to stay. With a family of 4 teenagers, Podstrana is definitely a calmer and safer environment to be in. Your private accommodation is a 4 star quality, modern furnishings, gorgeous pool, luxury style sunbeds. Bedrooms were very comfortable and exceeded my expectations, well maintained and the balconies had gorgeous sea views. My bedroom air conditioning wasn’t working on one of the days, and all was sorted very quickly. It really showed, how passionate and caring the staff are. The weather was perfect, not too hot or stuffy at night, sunshine throughout the day. Our days were planned professionally and led by Jalko and Jelena. From deep canyons to old towns, we really felt the real Croatia. All our guides were helpful, speaking English and getting the teenagers stuck in. We met 4 other families, so matching the children’s ages was a plus factor to the family activity holiday. Points for improvement of the trip? Well not for the accommodation staff or the Reps, 2 BIG thumbs up to both! Maybe some local maps on arrival? Add some snacks for the longer activity days? BBQ night on the terrace ? fyi – These are all small pointers and certainly not big criticisms. We would like to thank everyone that made this Croatia active holiday one of our best times ever. Canyoning and rafting on the Cetina River was a dream come true. Thanks from all of us x

Very nice experience in Croatia. During this family adventure holiday we met lots of lovely families from the UK and Canada. The days were planned very well. Enough time to enjoy the relaxing surroundings of the accommodation and Podstrana

Thompson family, Rotterdam

Super super super. I needed the wow factor for my boys this summer (stupid Dad let them down last year) and this was the ticket! The VIP, Gold, Willy Wonka ticket! We are still all buzzing, the boys can’t stop posting their pictures onto their Instagram’s and Facebook’s (a sign of success I’m told). Thank so much for making me the super-Dad!

This was our first European vacation as a family and Croatia was the last part of our 5 week journey. As a family, we have always loved the outdoors and participating in sports and regularly trying any new adventures but had yet to combine this with a holiday experience. Our first idea was to do this in France, but after comparing the costs against Croatia, there were significant financial advantages. Our first contact with your company was Jakov, very friendly and responsive on e-mails, which gave us the confidence to book with you. We decided not to tailor make a private tour and to join  your 2 week adventure holiday. This was a great decision as we met some wonderful families and my 3 teenagers met a lot of like minded boys and girls. Your instructors were very friendly, lively and entertaining. Jelena, Marija and Jalko really went out of their way for the guests. Podstrana was gorgeous, loved the beach and quick access to the Sea and so close to Omis and Split. During the first week, we would say the canyoning cetina tour and mini raft (optional extra we all booked) were the most loved. On Brac Island, Windsurf and SUP boarding was the most challenging but the one we’ll all remember most. Brac island was the perfect contrast for the second week of stay. Again your hosts and reps there are superb. We loved the private apartment block and swimming pool. We are so happy we tried this two week activity vacation in Croatia  with you guys, many thanks.

Rachel Kilby, Dallas

The week was a very nice blend of adventure fun and relaxation. Podstana is a gem, with accessible taxis to Split for night time exploration and even more restaurant choice. The group gelled together very well, teenagers of similar ages and my two 10 year old girls loved the activities. Jennie our main rep was a magician with the teens, always keeping them entertained. Super week, many thanks.

Janet Cross, Wheatley

Brilliant time thanks Jakov. Your Reps were superb. I can highly recommend this teenage / family trip. My daughter Alison loved every minute of it and made some great new friends, thanks to all involved. Denny x x

Denny Rogers , Newcastle

Very nice experience, for our first time trying an active holiday. Nevin, Annon, Jennie and Jelena were so kind and wonderful guides. As a single parent, it took alot of pressure off my shoulders. Many thanks, i would consider coming again.

Debbie Hannington, Reading

This was a new style of vacation for our family, and one we would consider repeating in Europe. Croatia is a beautifully formed country, the people and nature are delightful.

Carol Hooli, Toronto

Very enjoyable Time thank you Jakov. We are safely home and watching back our GoPro videos. We won’t forget our time in Croatia and will be telling friends to consider your country and company. Best from the rest of us – Jane,  little Mark and sea silly Lilly.
