Description

This immersive tour enables guests to experience all parts of Dalmatia—its coast, hinterland, history, nature, and cuisine—in just one unforgettable day.


The adventure begins with a scenic morning drive in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus from Zadar, winding along the dramatic coastline and through the rolling hinterland. Our first stop offers a powerful glimpse into the region's turbulent recent past—with a visit to a historic site from the Croatian Homeland War. Here, you'll hear stories of resilience, see original artefacts, and even climb inside a Soviet-era tank for a hands-on taste of history.


From there, we travel to the departure point for a tranquil boat ride into Krka National Park, gliding along the river toward one of Croatia’s most iconic natural landmarks: Skradinski Buk waterfall. This spectacular multi-tiered cascade set among lush greenery and emerald pools offers a chance to walk winding wooden paths, marvel at the raw beauty of the landscape, and take in the park’s rich biodiversity.


After exploring Krka, we return by boat to the medieval town of Skradin, a charming riverside gem with cobbled streets and timeless stone buildings. Here, you’ll enjoy a short walking tour followed by free time to wander, relax with a drink—or even take a refreshing swim where the Krka River meets the Adriatic.


In the afternoon, the focus turns to flavour. A short drive brings you to our family-owned olive grove and award-winning olive oil mill. Begin with a peaceful guided walk among centuries-old olive trees as we explain how the landscape and climate shape our oil’s rich flavour and high polyphenol content.


Next, tour the mill to see how our olives are transformed from fruit to liquid gold using modern methods rooted in tradition. Then settle in for a guided tasting of five award-winning extra virgin olive oils—from early-harvest, high-polyphenol types to rich, smooth blends. Learn how to taste like a professional, discovering the secrets of bitterness, pungency, and aroma.


Following the olive oil tasting, indulge in a selection of local Dalmatian dishes, each one thoughtfully prepared and generously drizzled with our finest oils. Enjoy freshly baked bread, marinated vegetables, local cheeses, and more. Three exceptional local wines—both red and white—will be poured to complement the meal, each introduced with insight into the vineyard and vintage.


This tour is more than sightseeing—it’s a full-sensory dive into the culture, nature, and flavours of Dalmatia.


A day to remember forever.
