Unless you’ve never actually been to Croatia, or if you don’t use Instagram, then you won’t realise just how gorgeous Croatia is.

With over 1,700 kilometres of sun-drenched coastline, the best way to fully appreciate Croatia is undoubtedly by boat, and doing a Croatia sailing tour is one of the most popular styles of tours for under 35’s.

The European summer is fast approaching which means that all around the world (let’s be honest, it’s mainly Aussies, Kiwis & Brits), people are planning their Croatia trips.

And with reliable companies such as Topdeck, Busabout, Contiki and Sail Croatia all operating Croatia island hopping tours, you’re bound to find something to suit your needs & budget.

But get in quick – the best routes, ships and departures book out months in advance!

So get the gang together and book your Croatia sailing tour before you miss the boat. Literally.

So here's our top reasons why you need to book a Croatia Sailing tour for 2022:

Because Hvar is just ridiculously beautiful

Apart from its stunning views, The island of Hvar receives more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in the Adriatic.

If you're after pristine beaches and endless sunshine, then Hvar has it all, plus much more!

But then again, so is Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is best known for its distinctive Old Town, and spectacular city walls made famous by the Game of Thrones which was filmed here.

Most Croatia sailing tours will visit Dubrovnik as part of a one way trip, or loop between Dubrovnik & Split.

Because this is how your day will start

Jumping off the side of your ship is a common occurrence on a Croatia sailing tour.

Finish your breakfast and take the plunge into the beautifully refreshing Adriatic Sea.

And this is how it ends

With some of the liveliest bars along the Adriatic Coastline, you're bound to have a few epic days and nights on your sail Croatia trip.

Just watch your step on the way back into your cabin!

Because you'll have cocktails in a castle

Spots such as the Massimo Cocktail Bar in Korcula are scattered along the Adriatic.

No other trip except a Croatia sailing tour can serve you up cocktails in a freaking castle!

Or in a bar built into the side of a cliff

And bars don't get much cooler than the Buza Bar which is also possibly the most beautiful bars in Dubrovnik.

Perched on the cliffs right above the sea and accessed via small passage way, Buza Bar offers an amazing panorama across the Adriatic.

Come along for the sunset. You won't be disappointed 😍

Because there are small boats for small budgets

A Croatia sailing tour is suitable for any budget with a wide range of boats to travel on.

Most operators have Traditional Croatia cruisers with varying levels of luxury, and some - like the one below, offer all the trimmings such as a private ensuite and spas!

Because there's an actual cave you can party in

You'll hit up some epic party spots on your Croatia sailing tour - and they don't get much better than Deep Makarska.

A great venue to mix with passengers from other ships & tours and a must-do as you island hop your away around the Adriatic!

Because there's some hidden gems inland

There's more national parks in Croatia than you can throw a stick at.

With Krka, Plitvice Lakes, Mljet, Brijuni Islands, Kornati, Paklenica, Risnjak and Northern Velebit to chose from, you'll be sure to find something to explore!

And gorgeous National Parks to chill in & explore

Think Croatia is just famous for its gorgeous coastline & beaches? Think again!

Many Croatia sailing tours will take in a day visit to one of Croatia's 8 national parks which are truly breathtaking and well worth the visit.

Krka National Park and the Plitvice Lakes National Park tend to be the top destinations on Sail Croatia cruises.

Because the parties in Croatia are next level

You'll be with a fun bunch of like-minded travellers on your Croatia sailing tour - and that means you're probably going to experience some next-level parties.

And Croatia has become one of the best party destinations in the world, with events such as Ultra Europe & Hideout Festival to get amongst.

But you can still find a secluded piece of paradise

After all that partying, you're going to need a couple of nice rest days.

And where better to chill-out than moored up in a remote corner of the Croatian Coastline.

Like an island on a lake inside another island

Only in Croatia will you find this former Benedictine monastery right in the middle of a large lake.

It's no wonder that the Mljet National Park is one of the most visited national parks in Croatia.

Because it so much better than your pool at home

With high sea temperatures of 25 degrees, it's no wonder that most Croatia sailing passengers spend their days floating around the Adriatic.

Oh, and for the Australians, guess what? There's no sharks to be seen!
