Your Croatia Travel & Outdoor Portal
Best of Croatia, just a few clicks away
Let's Adventure Together
Made and brought to you by locals
Welcome to Life and Ventures! We’re Andrea and Mario, founders and explorers behind this Croatia travel & outdoor portal. We were born and raised in what we believe to be the most beautiful part of Croatia – southern Dalmatia, a place where we made our first steps into the world of adventures – hiking, kayaking, cycling, rock climbing… For the past decade, Life and Ventures was something else – a Croatia adventure travel agency with different experiences and many happy faces through the years. And we loved every single moment of these guided adventures in Croatia. But then we decided it was time for a new journey. A new chapter in the Life and Ventures story.
And that’s how this Croatia travel and outdoor portal was born. Through the years, we have traveled across Croatia (and beyond), exploring the best places and experiencing the best our country has to offer. We’ve decided to document and write about our travels so you can find something for yourself. No matter if you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, great food, or a blend of these, we’re here to guide you through the best of Croatia.
Handpicked Experiences
Our Selection Of The Best Activities in Croatia
Croatia is a paradise for all sorts of adventurers and nature lovers. We believe that each vacation should be a mix of relaxation and activity. At least that’s how we try to balance things during our travels.
Being the Croatia adventure travel guides for a long time, we know how happy people can be when exploring Croatia in a kayak, when they combine cycling with tasting local products, or when they reach the top of the mountain in Croatia… We did it all through our tours and now we bring you the list of the experiences you must try during your vacation in Croatia.
Through this list of experiences, we’ve covered pretty much all of Croatia’s regions and tried to include some of the most unique activities you can find in each of them. We’ll update the list frequently in order to provide you with the best experience possible. Follow our advice, stay active, and discover the more adventurous side of Croatia.
Places & Experiences
Focused on Croatia, but Bringing You The Best Places of Europe Too
Life and Ventures will always be 90% about Croatia travel and outdoor experiences. Period. Croatia is our home and we spend most time exploring it. But still, our job as professional photographers and videographers makes us travel a lot and it would be a shame not to share some of the best places of other countries we visit with you too.
At one moment we’ll take you to some of the most famous places of neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina – Kravice waterfalls, Neretva Canyon, Blidinje, Blagaj, and much more. A few articles later, you’ll be standing below some of the most stunning places of Switzerland – Jungfrau region, Zermatt, Lauterbrunnen… Who knows, maybe through our journeys, you’ll find a perfect location for your next vacation. See, it even rhymes so that must be it.

Croatia Travel Guides
Another aspect of Life and Ventures will be Croatia travel and outdoor guides that will feel like having a local friend by your side. At least we’ll do our best to make them that way. Each of these guides will be made with love and packed with information you need to know about the topic it covers.
We’ll pour our personal experiences of Croatia into these guides, and we’ll add a lot of insider tips, and practical pieces of advice, that otherwise might be hard to find. Think of them as your go-to companions, helping you plan a journey through Croatia and visit the best this beautiful country offers.
Nowhere in the world will you find such a rather small country filled with so many natural wonders as in Croatia.
