Description of Vis Island activity holiday in Croatia

Vis Island, off the Dalmatian coast in Croatia, is an excellent base for an activity holiday, with clear seas, quiet beaches, unspoiled landscapes and a handful of tiny islands nearby hiding caves and secret restaurants. You won’t find many other tourists here, since Vis has limited capacity for visitors, and this makes it unique amongst Croatia’s islands, which can become very busy in summer. There are none of the trappings of mass tourism on Vis; no crowded beaches, heaving restaurants or nightclubs. Instead, Vis is the place for anyone in search of authentic Croatia, away from the busy Dalmatian coast.

This activity holiday is a week that works for all generations, and can be tailored to your interests. Enjoy simple pleasures like daily yoga, snorkelling, cycling and kayaking, and pack a book, too, so you can head to the beach and relax.

There is no fixed itinerary on this activity holiday; you can choose to do what you want, when you want. You might go cycling one day, take a boat trip to see the famous Blue Cave another day, and then opt to chill on the beach the day after that. We run two tours which you can choose to take, one exploring Vis’s military history via jeep and the other a tour in our speedboat, visiting some of the secret spots on the island that can only be reached by boat, including the Blue Cave on Biševo island and Stiniva beach. We offer – you decide!

There is yoga every morning for everyone, with an instructor to lead the session. We also include one rest day, so you’re completely free to use this as you please, perhaps picking an activity that’s outside of what we offer, like sailing, scuba diving or visiting some more remote islands, such as Brusnik, Svetac or Palagruža. All the activities are easy going and you can make this holiday as active as you want. There’s no need to be super sporty to enjoy this week. To guarantee your safety at all times, all the activities are guided by professional staff.

We want to make sure this week away is as relaxing as possible, from the minute you land at Split airport. We can arrange transfers from the airport to the ferry terminal and once you arrive on Vis, we take care of everything else.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

We support wildlife in our community by donating 1% of each booking to Blue World - researching dolphin organization. We have more than 400 dolphins in the area around the island of Vis, and the Blue World organization tracks them every day. It's almost impossible to spend a day at sea without seeing dolphins, especially in springtime when the sea traffic is quieter than in summer. It's quite an experience to see wild dolphins swim around you, and we are aware of how much they mean for marine life.
We also plant our own vegetables in a completely "eco" way. Our vegetables don't contain a single drop of pesticide, just water and sun. In our vineyards it is the same situation, and the eco brand on every bottle is the evidence of hard work. Our guests are welcome to join in with watering and harvesting the grapes and vegetables every year, allowing them to see how we prepare this crop.
We organize cleaning of the beaches and underwater areas in our community. Since we are located on the open sea, we have strong winter winds which bring us all sorts of garbage. Every spring, volunteers are more than welcome to help us keep our beaches and underwater clean. Every year, with the support of the town of Vis, we collect more than 500 kilos of garbage from 5 different beaches in the Rukavac area. In this way, we help our island to stay clean on the land and underwater. Island Vis is one of the cleanest islands in the middle Mediterranean area.

People

Local taverns are the best way to get familiar with our way of preparing meals. With recommendations for our guests, we organize wine and local meal-tasting tours where you can see and try some of the oldest meals in Croatia.
Traveling around the world is a meaning of life and promoting our community, Island Vis and Croatia is a big and very important thing. Ensuring the right promotion and learning how other tourist businesses work on different continents make us competent in our business.
Besides keeping the island clean, we support "SVIMA" organization. In this community, kids from all over Croatia can learn about island history, old trades, and how to preserve an ecologic on the island, they organize all sorts of workshops around the island and we provide them free transportation on land or sea.
For us, working with kids is always special, especially when our mission is to return young people to the island, and to provide them any sort of decent living in this part of paradise!
