Duration: 6 days
Croatia is basically guaranteed to be an unreal holiday. From the moment you step off the plane, the Croatian air will wrap around you and you’ll immediately become your most relaxed, carefree self.
Split hits you with ancient Roman streets, cute cafés, sea views everywhere you turn, and the kind of gelato that fixes all of life’s problems. You’ll be hanging out inside Diocletian’s Palace without even realising. One second you’re exploring 1,700-year-old lanes, the next you’re grabbing a coffee like it’s no big deal.
We’ll take you over to Hvar, where the water is ridiculous and the sunsets feel staged! It’s basically six days of “this cannot be real” moments, questionable tan lines, and stories you’ll absolutely be telling your mates that decided to stay home.
Pack your bags. Croatia’s about to become your new personality.
Please note, this trip is currently Unconfirmed pending minimum numbers. Please do not book any flights until you receive our e-mail confirmation. UniLife will not be held responsible for any flight booked by participants on a pending trip.
Please note, this is a sample itinerary. No activities are included unless specified in the ‘What’s Included’ section.
Bags packed? Passport in hand? Perfect. Get ready to swap seminar rooms for sunshine and salty sea air!
Your Trip Leader will fire a bunch of top-tier recommendations straight into the group chat. Wander the old town, grab dinner along the waterfront, dip your toes in the Adriatic, or just chill with your new travel friends.
You’ve officially arrived in Croatia baby!! Trust us, the good stuff is only just beginning…
Today’s all yours! No alarms, no schedule, just Split being absolutely stunning and waiting for you to explore it however you want.
If you need ideas (or just don’t trust your own decision-making before coffee), here are our recommendations:
Then when the sun goes down? Meet your Trip Leader in the evening for a full Bar Crawl hitting Split’s best hotspots.
You’re in Croatia… you’re supposed to have this much fun.
Today we’re island hopping. Catch the ferry from Split and enjoy the views because honestly, the water is so clear it looks fake.
When the evening hits, meet your Trip Leaders and see for yourself why the island’s night life is so famous!
Hvar doesn’t do boring, and tonight, neither will you…
Ready for a bit of adventure? Today we’re swapping land for water.
And the rest of the day? Entirely up to you. Explore more of the island or grab dinner by the harbour. You could even just set up camp on a beach towel and just exist!
Time to hop back across the Adriatic! We’ll take the ferry from Hvar to Split.
Split round two? Even better than the first.
And if you’re in the mood to keep things local later on, our Trip Leaders know exactly where to find the best buzzing bars and cosy waterfront hangouts in Split. All you need to do is ask!
And just like that, it’s the final day. Pack up, check out, and take one last deep breath of that Croatian sea breeze (yes, it does hit differently).
This part is always a bit bittersweet… but that’s how you know it was good.
Until the next adventure. 🌍✨
Land, stretch your legs, grab your bags, and head straight into the arms (not literally… unless you’re a hugger) of your Trip Leader. They’ll be waiting for you in the arrivals hall to help you get settled and answer any questions. Please note that airport transfers aren’t included, but your Trip Leader will make sure you know exactly how to get to the accommodation!
You’ll be staying in top-rated hostels, booked just for our group. They’re comfy and the perfect place to crash after a big day of exploring Croatia!
Paddle your way through some of the clearest water you’ll ever see.
Wander ancient alleyways, explore Diocletian’s Palace, and get all the insider stories that make the city come alive. It’s the perfect way to get your bearings.
Experience the city after dark with a guided night out hitting Split’s best bars and buzzing spots. We’ll finish up at a club, this one always delivers…
Beach day? Coffee crawl? Sunset swims? Wandering the waterfront pretending you live here now? Whatever your style, you’ve got time to make Croatia your own.
We’ve “researched” (AKA eaten, drank, kayaked, and explored) everything so you don’t have to. Your Trip Leader will drop all the best food spots, swim spots, bars, and hidden gems straight into the group chat.
Let’s just say… “average” days don’t really exist here.
Think of them as your guide, problem-solver, and best mate all in one. They’re a friendly face who gets everyone talking, laughing, and making memories, all while keeping the trip on track.

Just got back from an amazing trip to Split, Croatia with UniLife! This was our second society trip with Dominika as our trip leader and she was just as amazing as we expected - a fab group leader with great knowledge of stuff to do in the area, and all in all such a fun person - I would recommend her and UniLife to anyone! Thanks so much Domi xxx
Buse arranged outings which were very enjoyable like the tour of the castle in Split and the pub crawl. We were also given a lot of free time to explore the city on our own which was also fun.

Smooth, easy and very well organised. Would 100% book through again!
