About this trip

Embark on a full-day adventure that blends stunning coastal views, forest trails, and ancient pathways on the serene island of Cres. The journey begins at 9:00 AM from the mainland, where guests are welcomed aboard with a welcome drink as the boat sets course across the Adriatic toward Bay Banja.

Upon arrival, guests can choose their hiking style: receive a map, compass, and GPS for a self-guided adventure, or meet a professional guide (available as an add-on) to lead the way. The hike begins at 10:15 AM, weaving through a beautiful oak forest before reaching the peaceful village of Ivanje. Here, breathtaking panoramic views stretch across the sea to towns like Rijeka and Opatija, making an ideal photo opportunity.

The path continues along a scenic ancient Roman road leading to the village of Porozina. Around 2:00 PM, guests arrive at the pristine beach "Veli pesak" for a well-deserved half-hour break, perfect for swimming or simply relaxing by the sea. The boat then slowly sails back to the mainland, with a planned return around 5:00 PM.
