Welcome to our base - Makarska Riviera.
The city of Ploče in southern Croatia was our base for a long time. It is a small city located in southern Dalmatia and it’s the only place where you can find lakes, rivers, mountains, and all that within a 10-kilometer radius. Although the city of Ploče is not a tourist place all these natural wonders make it one of the best places for adventure tourism in Croatia. We started with adventure tours at Bacina lakes and the Gradac area and slowly introduced more locations and adventures such as Jezero Valley cycling and wine tour which was one of our latest introduced tours.
The time moved on and so did we. After the great years we spent in Ploče, we moved to Makarska Riviera, just 20 minutes of driving away from the city of Ploče. Still surrounded by the same beautiful places just like before. In the sections below we present you a piece of southern Croatia paradise we call home.
Baćina Lakes
Baćina Lakes consists of a total of seven lakes. They are just a few minutes of driving away from the city of Ploce. Six of the lakes are connected and together they form a truly unique landscape of the Croatian south. We organized our Bacina Lakes kayaking tour there and it was one of our most visited adventure tours. Baćina Lakes are often called pearls of Illyrian queen Teuta and their landscape is one of the rare places on the Adriatic coast where you’ll find peace and solitude, even during the peak season.
They are located on the main road between Split and Dubrovnik and many tourists admire their beauty from the famous viewpoint but rarely enter into the nature of Bacina lakes. They are a place of rich history with many Illyrian tribes living in their vicinity. Touristic offers of Baćina Lakes include kayaking tours, Stand-up paddling, and traditional boat tours. If you are traveling from Split to Dubrovnik or traveling from Dubrovnik to Split, think about stopping at this magical place.
Neretva River Delta
We could write so much about the Neretva river delta. It’s the largest delta in Croatia and one of the richest in Europe, at least when it comes to bird species. The landscape of Neretva Delta and the whole Neretva valley is simply astonishing with sandbars going for hundreds of meters into the sea, beautiful sunsets, and large sandy beaches. It’s been one of the most popular places for Kiteboarding in Croatia lately.
For the past centuries, the Neretva River delta has been one of the most fertile soils in Croatia as well. Numerous canals made this delta into a real labyrinth. Our adventure tours featuring the beautiful Neretva River landscape are the Norin river kayaking tour and Neretva valley kayaking tour.
Jezero Valley
Jezero valley (known as Vrgorac valley well) is the largest vineyard in Croatia and a perfect place for cycling tours in Croatia, situated just 15 minutes of driving from the city of Ploce. It’s a place that has to still exploit its full tourist potential since it was never considered to be a tourist place. Cycling trails of Jezero Valley wind through beautiful vineyards and follow the Matica River.
These trails were featured in our Dalmatia cycling & wine tour which included wine tasting in local wineries. It’s still an undiscovered place in southern Croatia but with more and more tourists willing to explore the beauties of the hinterland this valley won’t be hidden for a long time.
Makarska Riviera
A place where we live now – Makarska Riviera is a place on the Dalmatian coast stretching from Makarska to Gradac and it consists of many famous tourist places such as Gradac, Brist, Zaostrog, Drvenik, Brela, Tučepi, and so on. It’s a place of beautiful pebble beaches and crystal clear sea. Makarska Riviera is considered to have the most beautiful beaches in the whole of Croatia.
Apart from mass tourism, it’s also a perfect landscape for many kinds of adventure activities such as hiking, rock climbing, cycling, and sea kayaking. Our tours featured on Makarska Riviera include Dalmatia rock climbing and Makarska Riviera sunset sea kayaking tour. Makarska Riviera is a unique blend of Biokovo Mountain and the Adriatic Sea.
