What to expect

Blue seas, green scenery, rugged cliffs and craggy coastline, Croatia's Istria boasts an enchanting landscape to admire on this boat trip. You'll cruise through the magical Lim Fjord to swim in Vrsar, anchor up in Rovinj to take a look around this pretty seaside village and spend the day sunning yourself on deck. It's idyllic to a T.

Leaving the harbour behind, you'll sail away into the glittering blue seas to see Croatia at its most capitivating. Watch the scenery change colours as we navigate to Rovinj. Also known as Little Venice, you'll have free time to wander past picturesque townhouses and along narrow cobblestone streets that transport you to Italy in miniature.

We'll continue to Lim fjord – a protected area – towards Vrsar where you'll get to take a dip, if you wish. There's also a barbecue lunch served on board. Then, hop back on board to return to Porec.

    Lovely day out A vegan lunch was provided which came as a nice surprise as our Tui rep initially thought vegans would be ok with fish Tui really needs to up its game on dietary requirements Mini bus driver in morning was dangerously fast, entering a 30kph zone at 69kph. Using phone while navigating a roundabout. Shocking. No safety advice provided on the boat.

    The food was very basic and not a bbq. The wine tasted awful. The rest of trip was good. I think the boat could have stopped in the lim fjord rather than just motoring up and back, even if for 10 mins to allow those that wanted to swim. The stop at Vsar could have been longer. Rovinj was amazing and the right timescale to visit.

    The cruise was fantastic and so relaxed. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the cruise. The boat was lovely and not too busy. We stopped off in Rovinj and Vrsar. Got the choice of chicken sausage or fish with bread and salad for lunch. Wine and soft drinks too. One of the crew played a few tunes on the accordion which created a great atmosphere. Taxi was waiting to take us back to hotel. A great service.

Vintage van tour through Slovenian olive groves with tastings

At the top of the Adriatic, where Italy, Croatia and Slovenia jostle for coastline, you'll find a stretch of Istria that's dedicated to the ancient art of olive growing. Your tour at the stylish Lisjak Estate in Koper blends the heritage of premium olive oil with lashings of tastings and a dash of vintage flare. You'll travel through the estate in lovingly restored vans, as Marko, a local expert guide explains, “These 1970s vans may look nostalgic, but they tell a real story – this was how families moved olives from grove to mill before technology did the heavy lifting.”You'll begin your day crossing the border from Croatia to Slovenian Istria, where the coastal landscape shifts to a sea of olive groves and vineyards. First up, there's a guided tour of the olive mill. It's a surprisingly modern space, given its rustic surroundings, but it takes technical precision to create their award-winning olive oil. The proof is in the tasting, which you'll do plenty of with a professional guide explaining the oil's signature peppery flavour.The highlight of the tour is the 90-minute safari through the rolling olive groves and coastal vineyards. You'll travel in a fleet of beautifully restored vintage vans that help transport you back to the glamour and style of the 1970s. Round off the tour with a platter of local delicacies in the grounds of the estate. Istrian prosciutto, air-dried by the bora wind, and artisan cheeses are perfectly paired with chilled local Malvasia wine. On your journey back to Croatia, make sure you bag a window seat to squeeze every last drop out of your Istrian adventure.
