Sample Adventures

​

• Earth: Hike from Dol through Ager to Stari Grad
  
  Feel the solid earth beneath your feet as you hike from the ancient hills of Dol, through the flat plains of Ager, and into Stari Grad, witnessing ancient Illyrian, Greek, and Roman history, frozen in time for over 4000 years (an 8.5 km. tour lasting 2 hours). Enjoy free time in Stari Grad, Croatia's oldest town, before heading back to the retreat for dinner and the evening program.

​

• Water: Yoga by the Sea & Sea (or Land) Adventure in Soline
  
  Today we’ll head off to Soline, a beautiful beach resort with a well-preserved forested peninsula, framed by countless crystal clear coves and bays, where we will enjoy a morning Yoga Sadhana in stunning nature. A picnic breakfast will be served after yoga, followed by a sea adventure of the group’s picking: snorkeling, sea kayaking, or SUP (stand-up paddle boarding). Relax and enjoy yourself for the rest of the day, exploring the many charms of the area. *In case the temperatures prohibit an immersive sea adventure, we will alternately take a long coastal hike instead.

​

• Fire: Hike from Fortica to Hvar (Optional Boat Trip to “Hell's Islands") & Scenic Tour of the Hvar Highlands
  
  Experience the fire element in Hvar's most sun-drenched town. Hike from the town fortress “Fortica” down the botanical-lined pathway and 182 steps to reach the town's main square. Once in the square, you can create your own itinerary: catch a water taxi to the nearby Pakleni (Hell's) Islands, where you can literally spend a day in hell while enjoying all the pleasures of paradise, or opt to remain in town, where you can enjoy sightseeing and quality swimming in the crystal clear waters just off the town promenade.
  
  En route back to the retreat, we’ll enjoy a scenic tour of the Hvar Island Highlands, where you can soak up spectacular views from a birds-eye perspective.
   

• Air: Sea Adventure in Soline & Visit to Vrboska (or) Cycling Adventure Soline to Jelsa
  
  Today we’ll return to Soline, where the group can decide whether to enjoy an adventure by land or sea that helps us connect to the breeze. 
  
  The group can opt to go on a sea kayaking or windsurfing adventure, which starts off the northern coast of the Soline peninsula in a gorgeous channel that stretches between Hvar Island and the Island of Brac. If you’re talented enough to navigate the winds, you might just manage to glide your way over to the nearby Zecevo (Rabbit) Island before heading back to Soline for another day in this stunning nature reserve and popular resort.
  
  Alternatively, we can go on a cycling adventure, which will take you along the shady, aromatic coastline from Soline to Vrboska, a fisherman's village known as the “Little Venice” of Hvar with quaint footbridges, and then onto Hvar’s most wind-exposed town, Jelsa, where you can refresh yourself with a scoop of the island's most famous gelato before continuing onwards to its famed sandy-bottomed beaches for some swimming and relaxation before heading back to Soline just in time for the transfer back to the retreat (18 km. round trip).
   

• Ether: Yoga in a Surprise Location, Free Day in “Little Heaven on Earth" & Scenic Drive, Gentle Hike, and Spectacular Sunset 
  
  On this last Yogi Explorer adventure together, we’ll treat you to yoga in a hidden spot in nature, followed by a free day in Mala Milna, known as “Little Heaven on Earth" where you can spend the day in joyful contemplation, connecting to all the elements that are within and around you.
  
  In the evening, we’ll enjoy a celebratory meal together in a traditional restaurant before heading off on a gentle hike, where we will soak up glorious views and be carried into an etheric state by a transformational sunset meditation that will connect us to the space, the stillness, and the energy of that which contains and holds us.
