My husband and I just returned from the Croatian Pearls 9 day vacation with Korcula Adventures. Some may say it is expensive but honestly, we didn’t have to plan a thing, and for busy working people, that was well worth the money. Captain, Zoran is highly responsive and answered all of my questions within a short period of time. I can’t say enough great things about this Korcula Adventures and this particular package. Zoran was amazing with us, and right from pick up it was a first class experience all the way! Our tour guide Z (other Zoran) was a wealth of knowledge and I learned so much about every place we visited in Croatia. Blaža ( captains wife) prepared our breakfasts and lunches and let me tell you, she is an amazing cook and a lovely person. The food selection was amazing and even the plating of our lunches on the yacht was outstanding. I had an ankle injury and they adapted our tour to ensure we didn’t have too much walking to do. Our accomodation was the Captains Villa Penthouse that had amazing sea views and was a very large and comfortable villa. We loved relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day. There is nothing that Zoran wouldn’t do to provide us the best and most unique experiences. We docked in the most stunning bays for lunches, snorkelled the crystal clear waters and wined and dined on the yacht. Zoran even went out snorkelling and returned with fresh sea urchin us to try. The food was amazing with different options every day. They chauffeured us to town in the evening anywhere we wanted to go. Most days we were still full from lunch and too tired to go anywhere as the days were full of adventures (sight seeing, snorkelling, yachting, wine tasting) you name it, we saw it or did it! Best tour I have ever been on, and we travel extensively! Do not hesitate to book as a couple or even as a family, the teenagers or young adults would love this vacation as it is jam packed with activity and adventure. Croatia is a stunning location to visit and Zoran made sure we saw it all! I would 1000% recommend this trip. We didn’t have any complaints at at all, and I can be a little picky! We travelled the end of September which was still gorgeous weather but less crowds, which was perfect for us.

An experience difficult to replicate. But we will be back with Korcula Adventures to enjoy beautiful Croatia
Firstly, if you are unsure or hesitate about booking this 7 night adventure. Don't be!! This will be the best part of your trip. If your looking for a boutique holiday experience then you are in the right place. The Korcula Adventures team is small, highly professional and experienced and will work with you an tailor a holiday suited to your needs. From the moment we landed at the airport the transfer to Korcula Island was seamless (Zoran - our tour guide, 1st mate etc etc) along with all our daily adventures. You are picked up daily from your accommodation, served breakfast in the Captain Villa, lunch on the boat or at a secluded beachfront restaurant away from the busy spots (my wife is celiac and the team catered beautifully and without hassle). You swim, snorkel, explore, SUP on every daily excursion. This company knows the good spots. Even if you have researched and visited Croatia before you need to put faith in their experience and they will take you to spots you can only imagine.
We stayed in the Lighthouse Villa with a pool and it was a great location for us. We didn't actually use the pool as the beach was 100m and really only locals so not busy at all. We could walk to 4 wineries for evening drinks only max 200m. We went to a beautiful restaurant 3 of our 7 nights called Amore Lumbarda. The food, wine, location first class. We really enjoyed Lumbarda as it is more of local feel than staying closer to Old Town. We went to Oldtown one night Captain Zoran gave us a lift. The return taxi was only 15E.
We operate a small hospitality business back in Australia and I would without hesitation choose to explore Korcula Island with Captain Zoran and his team. This is an organized trip but Zoran and the team work to your timeline. So if you want to start your day a little later then that is OK. The best thing is that all you need to do is relax and soak up the best of Korcula Croatia.
Captain Zoran & Team thank you for a beautiful, memorable and relaxing holiday.

Must do and experience in amazing Korcula!
Zoran and family were incredible hosts! We had the best time with our three teenage children, Korcula Adventures thought of everything and we were so well taken care of on our time in Korcula. The breakfasts and lunches were sublime. So fresh, organic, well prepared and delicious. We are already determining plans to rebook for the next year. Incredible service, experience, top rated everything. Highly, highly recommend from experienced travelers who have been all over Europe. This is as good as it gets!

Amazing trip!
Amazing trip! We had a car transfer from the airport to the ferry to Korcula island. With a delicious lunch seaside before we hopped on the ferry. We stayed at soul sisters villa with our teenagers and another family. Soul sisters had all the amenities you need including a beautiful pool and rooftop. It was nice to have a homebase after a busy day. Zoran took great care of us! Always something fun to do for all. The kids loved wakeboarding behind Zoran’s boat. Our favorite part of the trip was visiting all the different islands that Zorin took us to. We would not have been able to see some of these amazing islands without Zoran’s knowledge. He knew of all the best kept secrets in the area. A+ trip! Would do it again! So many different things to do. We also loved the buggy ride around the island and stopping for a wine tasting. At the end of the visit Zoran’s family had a delicious dinner all prepared for us to end the week. Would recommend this trip to anyone!

An adventure that has it all
We had planned to take this package in 2020 but the COVID pandemic meant that this was not possible … especially as we are from Australia.
We contacted Korcula Adventures in 2023 about using our credit for the trip and they were more than happy to oblige.
The Adventure has it all with each day bringing a new experience: trips to nearby islands on the Korcula Adventures’ jet boat, snorkelling in the region’s crystal clear waters, a buggy ride around Korcula island followed by a wine tasting, not to overlook wonderful meals with fish freshly caught from the surrounding seas.
Groups on activities are small and you are genuinely valued as a guest.
Captain Zoran and his caring and knowledgeable team cannot do enough for you.
Even our transport to and from the Captains villa in the coastal village of Lambarda was looked after.
This Adventure has it all: guided fun activites, a great place to stay, space to do your own thing, and all with a sense of Mediterranean luxury.
All we had to do was to relax and enjoy!

Tick,tick,tick - perfect in every way
WOW This was my 3rd time with Korcula adventures and it definetely didnt disappoint, We were met at Vela Luka by Ivan one of Captain Zorans team and from that moment onwards we had lovely scenery, were given fantastic knowledge of the Island and made to feel very comfortable.
We were taken to the Captains Villa where we stayed in the penthouse apartment which had a balcony with such a beautiful view over the bay that we didnt want to ever leave.
Every morning we had breakfast, and there you had so many different choices - all served by Blaza who seemed to be endlessly preparing, cooking and serving wonderful food.
Whilst there we had use of a speed boat and car which helped us see the Islands by land and sea
The excursions we went on were fantastic with sight seeing followed by a great lunch aboard the boat and a swim in the Adriatic which has the clearest water ever.
An on shore trip we took was on the beach buggies, this was lead by Andre and Nicco who took us up over the mountain to a most beautiful secluded bay where we could swim,snorkel and just relax a while, then back up again to an outstanding restuarant, again secluded, for such a fantastic meal, very nice wine and beautiful views. Andre and Nicco were nice and total professionals and made us feel so relaxed.
The holiday went so quickly and we feel we still have so much to see and do that we are looking already to returning next year.
Captain Zoran, Blaza and the whole team worked increadibly hard in making our holiday just the best and made sure everything on our tick list was catered for.
This has definitely been one of our best holidays ever.

Our favourite place to be ❤
We just had our 3rd visit to Captain Zoran, Blaza and the Team and our holidays with them just keep getting better and better. From our wonderful breakfast layout each morning (and the special treats Blaza prepared for us) our days were enjoyable, educational and fun packed luxury. The excursions are brilliant and have taken us to some of the most beautiful Islands and National Parks there are, but equally wonderful is Korcula itself from its historic Old Town and quaint churches, shops, restaurants and alleyways to some of the most stunning beaches and bays with crystal clear water and views to die for. One of our favourite days was going out on the beach buggies through tranquil olive groves and the pine forest to reach one such bay- we shared this trip with another group of lovely people from America and it was unforgettable- after our swim in the bay we were treated to a fabulous meal in a gorgeous rustic restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and what has to be one of the best views on the Island- after which we ended the day at another beautiful beach for relaxing cocktails in a picturesque beach bar. This was just one among many fantastic trips and memories made with friends. The attention to detail that Captain Zoran, Blaza and the team give is amazing. We feel we have found our own little piece of heaven and can't wait to return.

Beyond all expectations!
Incredible trip that exceeded all my expectations! If you love being out on the water on a fantastic yacht with an amazing crew, this is the trip for you! Zoran, Blaza, Z and the rest of the team provided the best customer service I have ever experienced, hands down. We started the day with a lovely homemade breakfast and headed out for our excursion at one of the historic sites in the area. We loved all of our day trips and our guides were extremely knowledgeable, approachable, personable and fun! Lunch was served on the boat and then we had lots of free time to play in the water in the amazing Adriatic Sea before heading home to a well-appointed villa for some down time before going to several of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. The fish is so fresh and flavorful and the local fruits and vegetables delightful. Zoran and his team have so much experience in the industry and were on point and beyond compare. I highly recommend booking with Zoran at Korcula Adventures!

Amazing week in Korcula!
Beautiful Villa in perfect Lumbarda location - walkable to restaurants, grocery store, bank, etc. The Villa had everything we needed - comfortable beds, A/C, laundry machine, coffee machine and beautiful views from balconies and pool. Each day was planned meticulously by Zoran and his team. Fabulous homemade breakfasts and lunches each day were served with lovely wines. The day trips were a mix of adventures and pure relaxation. It doesn’t get better than this!
