Scout holidays and scouts tours to Coatia and Pula - Venture Abroad

Croatia is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most popular destinations. Much of its popularity is due to the array of natural features, which include beautiful islands, incredible waterfalls and wooded areas inland, but for many of our groups the sun, sea and spectacular landscapes only enhance their holidaying experience. Your group will be based in the town of Pula and with its close proximity to the stunning pebble beach of Valsaline Bay and the Adriatic Sea, this town is a haven for water based activities and never fails to impress our groups.

After taking part in the many water based activities, there are plenty of excursions available to ensure you make the most of your time in the country. Boat trips are a great way to relax after a busy morning, or if you prefer something on land, explore the 20 kilometers of fabulous tunnels, galleries and passages that make up the Postojna Caves, or take part in the many activities available on Veruda Scout Island. Your group will be based at the Pula Youth hostel, situated approximately 3 km from the town centre. With all meals included and a beautiful pebble beach on your doorstep, this is the perfect location to relax, unwind and enjoy the Croatian sun after the day’s activities.

Our Team's Top Activities...

• Diving

Diving is a great activity to do anywhere in the world and here, amidst the warm shallow waters of the Istrian Coast, is the perfect spot for beginners. A half day excursion combines a brief theory lesson with your instructor, before taking to the sea to discover the underwater world that surrounds you.

• Windsurfing

After a two hour session, your group will be skimming the seas of Premantura, the southern most village on the Istrian peninsula, and taking advantage of the many winds that come in from the northern Adriatic. With flat-waters and choppy seas to choose from, this is the perfect activity for all groups and ability levels.
