8-Nights Wild Nature of Croatia & Slovenia

Explore the Adriatic Coast & Europe's Easternmost Alps on a Unique, Less-Traveled Itinerary

Discover little-known corners of Europe on an intimate nature journey through two diverse Balkan countries. The Dinaric and Julian Alps rise above rugged seacoast and glacier-carved lakes, their karst expanse riddled with caves, gorges, waterfalls and crystalline rivers. Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, speckled with a thousand islands and reefs, offers idyllic Mediterranean scenery. On a private boat cruise in the Adriatic Sea, view a large colony of rare griffon vultures on the island of Cres, and admire rocky headlands, turquoise bays and red-roofed villages that cascade to the sea. In Slovenia, ride a mountain cable car in Triglav National Park and wander alpine trails among flowers, streams and wildlife like chamois and ibex. Cultural heritage is a rich part of this trip, too, as we visit ancient Roman sites and traditional farms continuing sustainable artisan production of wine, honey and cheese.
