Good organization. Pleasant reception by the local team

Nicole, cruise and trek, 2015

Very nice combination of cruise, trekking off the beaten path and visits to historic sites … Highly recommendable, especially in spring (we found) (there is not as many people at the historical sites and the climate is very pleasant). And a special mention to Maja, an outstanding guide !

Martine – cruise, trek and discover – August 2014

Fabulous Croatia! The Formula boat and trek were really perfect, combining  navigation and the discovery of the sumptuous and pleasant Croatian nature.

What a nice way to discover a country! I urge you to develop this formula; I hope to experience it again. Maja was perfectly up to the task and proved herself as an attentive, warm, festive and charming guide. Really successful holiday on board thanks to the kindness of the crew of ” Vrutak “, the boat that takes us to Kythira …

AMarie – cruise, trek and discover – 2014

Very original way to discover Croatia – avoiding potential hazards on the road during high tourist season. The crew of Vrutak was very friendly. The best souvenir of the voyage – Swimming in the middle of nature in turquoise water at 25 ° C, searching and looking the fish! Not to mention the discovery of the very beautiful cities, Dubrovnik and Split. The voyage was perfect and with a great guide, Maja!! I absolutely do recommend this trip!!

Christine – Cruise, hike and discover – August 2014

The most harmonious trip I have had. 3 success factors (and every of them 150% filled)….. 1/3 the country, incredibly beautiful and little known;  1/3 the guide, Maya Misek , exceptional, created and maintained a great group dynamic, exceptional french and good leadership, a love and a desire to share everything about her country, and a great smile.  1/3 group dynamic, we quickly bonded, to share a moment of happiness together, same smiles, same delusions. All in all, a week of dreams come true ! Christine from “Chacals dorés“

Also I have to mention he boat crew, discreet, efficient and formidable

Daniel – Cruise, trek and discover – May 2014

Ideal conditions to discover the Dalmatian islands. This tour gives you opportunity to see the natural diversity and cultural heritage of this exceptional region. Hiking excursions are accessible, there is sometimes to take a easier path for those who are not like feeling walking that day. Congratulations to the team that is always attentive to trying always to satisfy the group.

Albert – cruise, trek and discover – May 2014

Excellent trip, pleasant , interesting, relaxing, activities perfectly balanced , accompanist excellent and professional, beautiful sceneries full of charm.

Chantal – Cruise, trek and discover – August 2013

The archipelago of the Dalmatian islands offers a succession of sublime Mediterranean landscapes in the summer light. Hiking in the fragrant and refreshing waters to relax. Walks in the picturesque alleys of the ancient cities of Split, Korcula, Dubrovnik are also nice. Accommodation on the boat is a great way to travel: we will keep a very good memory of Dare team and our very kind guide Matteja.

Martine, Cruise, trek and discover from April 27 to May 04 2013

I’ve discovered the Dalmatian islands between April 27 and May 4. We did a splendid stay in Dalmatia, trekking was very well organized, rhythm of cruise was very good, the crew devoted. A big thank you to our guide, discrete but always present and devoted.

Laurence et Jacques Logie, Cruise, trek, discover September 2013,

Charline, Cruise and trek, August 2013

Very satisfied with this cruise week, swimming and hiking on the islands between Split and Dubrovnik. Thank you, Maja, our guide and the crew of the boat Dare for their professionalism and kindness.

Diane – Cruise, trek and discover, 2012

Beautiful cruise and our guide, Mateja was great. Great walks.

Jean Pierre – Cruise, trek and discover, 2012

Cultural, sporting and authentic trip, without spending too much time on “tourist” attractions (unavoidable and luckely visited) … a perfect balance between all you need to see … walks were just ideal. And a great plus – advetage of a boat

Jean Michel, Cruise, trek, dicover first week in July 2012

I did not know Croatia and I want to come back ; lot of history , great landscapes , sun and sea, good atmosphere on the boat and in the group. An additional thank you to Mateja for her competence to work smoothly with diplomacy. A very beautiful country not far from France .

Mireille – Cruise, trek, discover – 2012

Hello ! We are delighted with our stay and our cruise in Croatia, a real delight! Everything went really well and we had unforgettable moments. Firstly a big thank you to Mataja, who was lovely in every way, good spirit, competent, funny, devoted, we are full of compliments about her, it was unanimous in the group and I think also that she likes our group also group. The boat was great and his crew carefull, we made some extras lobster and champagne, we celebrated a lot of things, we got a lot of fun of fun with the captain, also. we drank our pastis, lovers in every way; but we were good consumers for the rest also: champagne, wine and beer, we did well to turn “the shop”. The little dog, canaries and parrots were great company on the boat. I appreciated the walks, although it is very hot, I discovered with pleasure the islands in that way. Concerning the meals, I have liked the typical dishes, we enjoyed the fish but we didn’t like the soups so much. We have preferred the nights away from the ports, in the creeks comparing with nights docked in ports, but this is probably a must. Overall it is positive experience, our group was really good, were rather enthusiastic friends and uneventful; I think you’ve had a good feedback from them also. We are already considerending to repeat this experience; soon and thank you for your help and tips that have convinced me to go through your agency. Sincerely.

Jean-Max,Cruise, trek, discover 2012

The type of voyage “boat and hike” was a real discovery for me: aesthetics of towns, monuments and landscapes, life on board and excursions adapted to the possibilities of each.
Special mention to Mateja, who was able to adapt the voyage to each of us, as well as captain, the cook and crew, guarantors of safe navigation
A repeat in May or September!

Nicole, Lyon, Cruise, trek and dicover from 28 april to 05 may 2012

I’ve just returned from a week on the boat DARE where I met great people that did painting courses; they all knew each other and I was an addition! We sailed together with our young Maja guide, who was documented, speaking very good foreign languages. The boat and crew were wonderful, good food, islands, sea, hiking, painting; everything was so good that it was terrible to leave!

Vero, Cruise, trek and discover from 30 June to 7 July 2012

As Jean-Michel, I came back very enthusiastic from this trip. Mateja has managed the circuit with a hand of a master, she reigned perfectly and in harmony, the crew on the boat was all the time on our service…
Hopefully Dalmatia remains wild for pleasure.

Aline et Philippe, Cruise, trek and hike on DARE from June 16 to June 23 2012

We were a group of 14 people the week of June 16 to 23, 2012 , for the hike and cruise the Dalmatian islands. Our stay went well smoothly, the beautiful scenery, fabulous hikes, each day with a particular asset and a different view every time . A big thank you to Mateja that was always present, with great kindness and a great professionalism. She has a great ability to adapt to individual needs, always with a smile. She has contributed much to the success of this stay. Also thank you to the whole team Dare , we keep excellent memories .

Carine et Christophe, Cruise, trek, discover 2012

We were on a cruise on the Dare from 23 to 30 June 2012. We liked a lot this type of voyage – boat, swimming and ballads. We plan to repeat the experience. Unfortunately, we were too many on the boat (20 participants). We reported it our tour operator. Mateja did a lot for a group, she was able to manage the group of different ages with great patience. Bravo for her because it was not easy !!!

Family Amory, Cruise, trek and discover, July 2012

We sailed on the boat Dare late July 2012 and were delighted with the proposed program. A very good balance between cruising, walking and visiting. What made it magnificent was the friendliness of the crew and the competence of our guide: Mateja, always listening and trying to do her best in every moment! Great vacation that remain etched in our memories…

Marc et Brigitte, Cruise, trek and discover from September 08 to Septembre 15 September 2012

Nothing but happiness… Sailing, hiking, beautiful cities…The boat DARE and his devoted crew will remain well in our memories: the captain – a beautiful figure, his wife cooking delicious family dishes and three skillful and omnipresent sailors! Not to mention the parrot, canaries and dogs !!

A special mention to Maja , our guide, always smiling , available and devoted . Despite the rain on the last day, the ambiance never fell , quite the opposite !!

Jacques, Cruise, trek and dicover from 17 to 24 September 2011

If this cruise was a success – and everyone in the group think it was – it is largely thanks to our accompanist, Mateja who was able to organize the voyage according to the needs and limitations of every participant and find solutions for those who found some trekking difficult; we appreciated it a lot. Her explanations and comments were interesting to the group. We can’t forget her smile and her kindness. Her natural cheerfulness and simplicity are grantee for a friendly atmosphere on the boat. Crew and the captain were also great!

Lise – Cruise, trek, discover – 2010

We can only recommend this trip in Croatia, aboard on a boat Dare. There is no better way to discover Croatia. You’re on a typical Croatian boat that takes you from island to island; you discover different charms of Croatia visiting Dubrovnik, Split, Korčula and Hvar; you’re trekking but also swimming in a wild beaches and coves! The ambiance aboard is very family and friendly and a typical and delicious cuisine is served every day. However, this trip would not be fully achieved without our guide, Marijana who was able to share with us passion for her country and she made us want to come back.

Josiane, Paris

Sensational voyage, life on the boat and discovering various islands in the company of a very attentive guide was nothing but a joy, everything was very well organized, swimming, fishing urchins … … walks and visits of interesting cities

Jean Michel – Cruise, trek, discover

I did not know much about Croatia, and now I want to come back; interesting history, great landscapes, sun and sea, good ambiance on the boat and in the group. An additional thanks to Mateja, our guide, who is very competent and diplomatic. It’s very beautiful country, not very far away from France. Jean Michel

Hubert et Ghislaine

Our impressions of the trip, a week on the Dare on the Croatian islands:
A very nice trip, exotic, combining the effort of walking and discovering of very nice country, with the company of other travelers who have given their sympathy and different and complementary vision of the country, all of that with very complete and attractive presentation of local life. Comfortable cabins, with a great captain, specialist in octopus fishing.
See you soon!

Dan, 62 years old, Paris

Having already lived this type adventure, between land and sea last year, I would like to return soon, great ambiance on the boat. Advice: go for it!

Françoise and Jean-Louis, 50 years old, Seine and Marne

Vacation aboard the boat is an excellent compromise between relaxation and cultural and / or sport excursions. The ambiance is friendly and swimming from the ship in warm and transparent water on deserted islands is a rare happiness. Only two hours from Paris!

Rania, 29 yeras old, Ile de France

Superb voyage combining hiking in the Mediterranean greenery, relaxing on the boat, swimming in deserted coves, cultural discovery of Croatian cities and unforgettable guide! And as if that was not enough, the meals cooked by the captain’s wife are just delicious!

Eugene and Yvonne (67 years ols) Cruise, trek and dicover, Region Rhones Alpes

Great trip, very well organized. We enjoyed the freedom of excursions in cities with the “little book” provided by accompanist. Great ambiance on the “DARE”… Our best trek tour, for 10 years we are travelling around the World. Big thank you to the captain and his crew, thanks also to our accompanist who is in good mood every day. Eugene and Yvonne.
Kisses and see you soon.

BEATRICE, 41 years old, danser from Paris, Cruise, trek and dicover

I’ve been around the world thanks to my work! Last summer in August 2010 for my 40th birthday, I wanted to choose something unique, with several conditions:
# cocoon side
# relaxing rhythm

# Adventurous spirit with open spaces
… # a short flight!
My FAVORITE PART OF THIS UNFFORGETABLE VOYAGE: THE CHARM OF OUR ACCOMPANIST WHICH CREATES THE AMBIANCE OF A DREAM CRUISE.

Anne-Marie, 65 years old, Pays Basque

Voyage very pleasant and relaxing.
The boat was perfect in every way.
Our accompanist led the group “with an iron hand in a velvet glove” with kindness, intelligence and sensitivity.
And I discovered the Croatian coast: WONDERFUL !!!!

Marie Dominique, Angers

For a first boat experience, the “DARE”, a human dimension boat, his captain, his parrot, his crew, his cook left me the memory of a very friendly atmosphere on sunny magical islands!
Varied and balanced, this tour allows everyone to do it in their rhythm, with the attention of a passionate guide!
I would like to come back to discover other islands!

Yanick, 57 years old

Wonderful discovery of Croatian islands aboard Dare, thanks to Mateja, our guide and extremely friendly crew!!! We will return, hopefully very soon in Croatia!!

Joelle-Marylin

I just left Croatia, boat Dare and his crew and Maja our guide and I have one word for this stay and the whole team, “majestic”.
I will come back because it makes you want to get to know this country and do other hikes and discover other islands too, but outside of the summer season (July-August) because too many people for me, especially in the cities like Dubrovnik.
Thanks again to the team of the DARE and Maja,
Joëlle Marylin-30-07 to 6-08-2011

Régine de Chivré

I especially liked that this trip, despite the small problems with weather (1 day). We were a great group, and especially our accompanist Maja, she was very professional and attentive to each and every one, while keeping her sense of humor and her freshness. Her personality made this delightful cruise, full of lightness aboard Dare on wonderful islands
