Immerse yourself in a realm of breathtaking beauty, where vibrant reefs, exotic marine life, and crystal-clear waters promise an exhilarating adventure that will leave you in awe.
1. Day: We will start our 4-day journey in the early afternoon from Split, heading towards the island of Brač. Upon arrival, we’ll satisfy our hunger and thirst at a special restaurant that caters exclusively to the tour guests of Aqua Delfina. Afterward, we’ll proceed to our first snorkeling experience, mostly at the Cove Martinovica (weather dependent). After an exciting time exploring underwater, we’ll enjoy the night sky and drift into a sound sleep.
2. Day: The next morning we’ll set sail from Brač Island towards Šolta Island. We’ll navigate along its northern side and anchor at the „Shipwreck Kontesa“ in the Bay of Nečujam on Šolta. After exploring this underwater world of octopus, crab, fish & friends, we’ll enjoy our plant based meal prepared by our chef on board. If we choose to continue our boat tour, we’ll head to the west side of Šolta Island and stop at the beautiful sandy beach of Šipova and explore the Adriatic Sea. In the evening, we’ll take a short hike to a unique location with an astonishing view and enjoy our pre-arranged plant based dinner menu there at a local restaurant. We’ll likely spend a dream-night at Šipova Beach.
3. Day: On the third morning, after our morning dive, we’ll sail from Šolta to Drevenik Island and have fun splashing and diving around in the Blue Lagoon. At noon, we’ll have our plant based lunch by our chef on board. The entire afternoon may be spent leisurely exploring the aquamarine waters or the land of the 3-Island triangle. After the plant based dinner menu at the nearby Konoba, we’ll rest overnight at the Blue Lagoon.
4. Day: On the fourth morning, we’ll sail towards Čiovo Island, anchor in „Rat Cove“ for a plant based lunch prepared by our chef on board , and then head along Čiovo’s southern side towards Our Lady of Prizidnice. We’ll stop at a hidden, secluded sandy beach, explore a reef nearby and enjoy our pre-arranged plant based dinner package, where, if the weather permits, we plan to stay overnight.
5. Day: After our final morning snorkel session, sunbath and deeper reflection on the days we’ve spent together, we’ll head to Marjan Hill in Split, returning to our starting point around noon.
