Frequently Asked Questions

A general level of fitness that allows you to get out daily and enjoy the beauty of the locations is advantageous. In Croatia you will be exploring the Island of Vis by peddle, paddle and foot power.  Fitness is a difficult thing to judge, we see a huge variety of fitness levels. The kayaks are doubles and if guests find it difficult to paddle longer distances then we can partner them with someone who is stronger. The length of the kayak trips can be modified to suit all levels. Cycling involves quite a few hills, the bikes are great but they are not electric bikes, so they need input by the peddler. One way routes are an option with a pick up in our landrover for the return trip. For our guests who are really motivated to maintain a high level of fitness then we can always plan extra bike routes, afternoon run routes for that extra mileage. There is also the option of a pre breakfast stretch and yoga outside next to the sea. Please note that all activities are optional, often some family members choose to have some alone time hanging out at the house or checking out the wonderful beaches whilst others physically participate.

Guest ages have ranged from 18 months to mid 70's and we see no reason why this range can’t be broader. Some of the fittest guests we have had stay have been over 60. If your fitness is not what you'd like it to be don’t worry - the whole holiday is designed around your needs, fitness levels and what you want to do on a daily basis.

Yes of course!  We think our holiday is perfect for the single traveller, time to meet and explore the island with other people, but also plenty of time to do your own thing, with company and conversations during meal times.

The daily plan is designed around your preferences and everything is optional. Remember our thing is 'RelaxinglyActive'...We have had circumstances where a family has done different things, for example, Mum has gone cycling with the teenage children and the Dad has stayed at the house to finish his book in the shade of the terrace.

Flying to Split - is easiest. When you arrive at Split airport it takes around 30 minutes drive to get to the centre of Split and the place that you purchase the ferry tickets.  There's a public bus at the airport transfer which is super easy as it drives straight to the ferry terminal. The price for this bus is around €10. If there are a few of you, then you can also book an UBER to the center of Split. Ferry to Vis Island There is one ferry company that sails to Vis Island three times a day. All ferry details can be found on http://www.jadrolinija.hr For foot passengers, tickets are not required to be purchased in advance, you can get them from the ticket booths just prior to boarding but you can also however purchase the tickets in advance online. There is also a faster boat that travels once a day to and from Vis/Split, this can be booked and the schedule checked on this site

As a rough guide, the check-in is after 13.30 pm and check-out time is 10am. We will pick you up from the ferry terminal when your ferry arrives or around 13.30 if you catch an earlier ferry. On departure day we will take you to your ferry.
