CROATIA CLIMBING SAILING JOURNEY

(28)

Rock Climbing

What you'll do

The Dalmatia region in Croatia is a dreamland for both climbers and sailors. Seventy-nine islands (and an infinite number of islets) run parallel to the coast, among which Brač, Pag, and Hvar are the largest. There is everything from bouldering, to short well-bolted sport routes, super long sport and trad routes, to deep water soloing. Icio and Marina's climbing and sailing experiences - including climbing stories of first ascents around the world, and cross-continental sailing journeys - will entertain you throughout the whole trip.It is an expedition, not a 5* holiday: get ready to help out in the sailing maneuvers and climb in really off-the-beaten-track crags!

Itinerary

Day 1 - Welcome to Croatia!

Arrive in Milna, get familiar with your sailing home-for-the-week and meet Icio, Marina, and your climbing mates! Don't forget to set your alarm clock for the next day. Check-in is on Sunday at 3 PM.

Day 2 - Day climbing in a private crag

Off sailing! You will arrive in Hvar and spend the day climbing at Cliffbase, a private crag personally bolted by its owner. The day ends with a fish-based dinner at the port restaurant and a visit to its sunken wine cellar!

Day 3 - Climb and chill

An early morning climb at Cliffbase and setting sail again! Directions: A local bay on the other side of the island. This afternoon is to chill - you can have a nice swim, some rest, or sup your way through the surrounding coves.

Day 4 - Stari Grad day

You know how it goes: wake up at dawn and off to the next adventure! You will sail towards Stari Grad, rent a car and get to the crag. You'll climb in the afternoon, and as soon as you get off the crag, you can jump in the water of a nice bay nearby.

Day 5 - Climb, climb, climb

In case you have not got enough of it yet, you will spend the morning climbing around Stari Grad, in some island crags! You will leave by midday, and after a few hours of sailing, you will get to another bay where you can rest.

Day 6 - Climb and eat traditional Croatian food

It is your last day of climbing, and you want to get the most out of it! You will sail back to Milna in the early morning and climb some inland crags nearby. If you feel like it, a special dinner awaits you at the port restaurant: the traditional Croatian peka.

Day 7 - Time to say goodbye!

It is time to go back home - yes, already! Check-out is on Saturday by 10 AM.

Samantha (Nov 2023)

Bellissima esperienza!

Sophie (Sep 2023)

Great trip in Croatia. Beautiful locations. Knowledgeable and encouraging hosts.

Yannic (Sep 2023)

Sehr gelungener Trip. Gute Planung und Kommunikation auch vorab. Icio und Marina haben diesen Trip wirklich zu etwas Besonderem gemacht. Konnten aufgrund schlechtem Wetter und Sturm die ersten Tage leider nicht Segeln, dennoch kannten die beiden immer wunderschöne, trockene Spots zum klettern. Icio hat immer gute Tipps und Ratschläge parat und Marina ist definitiv die gute Seele an Bord.

Adrian (Sep 2023)

I booked two climbing trips through Mapo Tapo so far - one in Croatia and in Sicily. Both have been fantastic. Mapo Tapo’s partner guides are incredibly knowledgeable about their local crags, have amazing climbing experiences to share and best of all, have been great hosts, whether it’s on a sailing boat or in a climbing lodge in the country side

Marcello (Sep 2023)

Veramente una bella esperienza di vita. Icio e Marina due persone eccezionali a disposizione, pronti e accoglienti. Grazie grazie di tutto.
