Proposed Itinerary:
The following itinerary should be seen as an approximate guide only. The goal is to have a real Croatian adventure and a great time, rather than being governed by a rigid schedule.

Please note that weather conditions, breakdowns and other factors can cause alterations and delays to the itinerary. Day 1: Meet, Transfer, and Briefing
