  Rock climbing

  • • In order to join this Croatia sailing & climbing tour, good physical condition is all that matters. Regardless of your climbing grade, you’ll always find a partner matching your level, and even if that’s not the case, your guide will be there for you!
    • Even if you’ve never rock climbed before, you can join this trip! Climbing is more about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. Keep in mind that health and physical fitness are crucial to actively engage in daily activities of hiking and climbing.
    • Participants are strongly encouraged to have proficient swimming skills, especially if they plan to engage in the challenging deep water soloing during the tour.
    • To ensure you have a fun retreat, your guide will be there to supervise the climbing and to help all the climbers to improve their skills, and to choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level.
