Dalmatia full day small-group tour to the Etnoland rural museum
This day trip takes you into the rugged countryside of Dalmatia, where mountains and valleys meet river canyons and plateaus. After a drive in a private transfer along scenic routes, you'll arrive in Etnoland, a living outdoor museum that shows you what rural life was like in the late 19th-century. Your expert guide will share the history, crafts and traditions of the area. Plus, you'll visit a blacksmith's workshop and some old homes, seeing how they were furnished for a look into how people lived and worked. At the heart of the area's heritage is food, so for lunch you'll tuck into homemade Dalmatian peka – slow-cooked with tender meat, fresh vegetables, and traditional local flavours.

Boat ride through Croatia’s Neretva Delta with lunch
If you're craving a slice of nature and want a change from the throng of Croatia's historic cities, then the Neretva Delta is what you're after. Within an hour and a half of Split, it's a mosaic of waterways, marshes and lagoons that you can peacefully meander along as you switch your holiday to a slower pace for the day.You'll arrive in the morning at Villa Neretva, where you'll board a trupica – a traditional Croatian riverboat – and take to the waterways of the Neretva River. The river's wetlands sprawl across Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a relatively small stretch flowing through Croatia before it pours out into the Adriatic Sea. In this protected conservation area, you'll glide through the clear water, with a good chance of spotting herons, egrets and pygmy cormorants. There are over 300 species of birds here among the other wildlife, so keep an eye out for some more unusual finds, like colourful kingfishers, black and yellow fire salamanders and vibrant Balkan green lizards.Past Lake Kuti, you'll stop for lunch at Neretva House Tavern, which can only be reached by boat, for a feast of traditional Dalmatian dishes. Then, relax as you weave through the green wetlands, on your return to land.
