Croatia and Montenegro Itinerary
Days 1-3: Tour cities, canyons, and waterfalls
We’ll start our Balkan adventure by exploring Split, the center of Croatian culture. We’ll wind through the narrow pathways of the city, through its many museums, galleries, and Diocletian’s Palace, a huge fortified compound built in the fourth century. The next day, we’ll jump on the gorgeous Cetina River, where outdoor adventure possibilities are endless! We’ll learn the basics of canyoneering and celebrate by splashing around beneath waterfalls in Krka National Park, a wilderness area known for its impressive cascades. The next day will be filled with rock climbing over beautiful coastal views! The higher you climb, the more historical churches and hermit settlements you’ll see built into the canyons!
Accommodation: Hostel
Days 4-5: Island-hop to Korcula
It’s time to visit the beautiful islands of Croatia! While the beaches are indeed some of the most pristine and beautiful in the world, we’ll also spend some time inland exploring ancient villages and eating fresh local food picked straight from the farm. The next day we will enjoy the local aquapark in Bol and go snorkeling in the bright blue waters of the Mediterranean! We will also visit the famous Blue Grotto, a sea cave that glows with an otherworldly iridescent blue. We will make incredible memories as we visit neighboring islands!

Reviews
Sending our daughter on Bold Earth trips was time and money well spent. You can’t put a price on what your child experiences and learns when they travel independently to another country, are immersed in another culture, and travel/live with people they have never met before. I can’t think of a better way to spend a few weeks in the summer.
Bold Earth is a fantastic program for teens. These trips offer the opportunity for kids to grow through unique, enriching, cultural and outdoor experiences. It’s an investment we believe will pay dividends far beyond the two-week trip!
I sent my somewhat sheltered kid to have a fun experience, make friends and discover herself. The young woman who came home was more mature, more open to new experiences, and enthusiastic about future travel adventures. She raved about her trip and her counselors – and even appreciated the physical activity and the time away from her phone. Though she hasn’t been off the phone since she got back texting with the new group of friends she’s made all over the country.
