The ultimate water sports adventure!

Croatia, where the Mediterranean climate makes every day feel like a holiday, the emerald waters of the Adriatic offer days of water sport fun, and the ancient walled towns give groups a rich and interesting cultural experience. Scouting and Guiding activity holidays for youth groups to Croatia have so much appeal, and we’re not surprised that it’s seen such a rapid growth in popularity in recent years.

From snorkelling in caves to stand up paddleboarding at night on lit up boards, from swinging through the trees on a high ropes course to day tripping to nearby Venice, you won’t fail to create memories that your members will be talking about for years to come in Croatia.

When you choose Venture Abroad and our activity holidays for your youth group, you choose to take all the hassle out of it. Our experts will help you narrow down the amazing choice of activities and plan your very own tailored itinerary. Scouting and Guiding activity holidays to Croatia, your way!

Pula Youth Hostel – the perfect base for a week of adventure!

We think the best thing about Pula Youth Hostel is its stunning location. Walk out the door and you’re a stone’s throw away from one of the Istrian Peninsula’s beautiful pebble beaches and crystal-clear waters. What’s more, everything is within easy reach of Pula, from water parks to adventure parks and hiking to water sports – after all, that’s what you’ve come to Croatia for! The simple Youth Hostel offers comfortable ‘Pavilions’ which are standalone group units, with dormitory style accommodation.

Activities and Excursions

If your youth group are looking for water sports morning, noon and night, then Croatia will not disappoint! But for that little break from the crystal-clear sea, there is plenty to see and do within an hour of Pula. Adventure, culture and fun – Croatia has it all in abundance!

Something extra special: Day Trip to Venice

Revel in a day trip to the timeless city of Venice. Meander through the grand canal, admiring the beauty of Basilica di San Marco and the Doge’s Palace whilst soaking up the floating city’s sights, sounds, and smells.

How could your trip to Croatia look?

It’s important to remember that all of our itineraries are tailor-made. There’s no fixed itinerary, every activity holiday is different. That said, we know it’s helpful to see how your time away could look, so here’s a sample itinerary to get the ideas flowing.

Day 1

Fly from the UK to Croatia, where you’ll be met by your coach for your transfer to Pula. Settle into your accommodation, Pula Youth Hostel, then head out to explore the local area and relax on the beach.

Day 2

It’s time to learn more about the history and culture of the Old Town of Pula and its Roman ruins! This could be a perfect time to pick up a few souvenirs or gifts.

Day 3

Accompanied by a qualified instructor, you’ll take a boat trip out into the beautiful, crystal-clear ocean where the boat will anchor in a prime spot for snorkelling and exploring the marine wildlife. Once you’re back on dry land, why not spend the afternoon at the aquarium?

Day 4

Head to Glavani Park where you’ll spend the day tackling the high ropes course, abseiling and rock climbing.

Day 5

Say goodbye to Croatia as you depart for a day trip to Venice where you can admire the Basilica di San Marco and the Doge’s Palace. Soak up the art and culture with visits to the Gallerie dell’Accademia and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. You’ll head back to Pula in the evening.

Day 6

Take to the water for an adventure boat trip.

Day 7

Spend the day at Aquapark Istralandia enjoying the slides, wave pools and much more.

Day 8

All good things must come to an end, and your time in Croatia sadly has to as well. So, it’s time to pack up and head home.

This is now the third time I have used Venture Abroad, we visited Kandersteg in 2016 and Iceland in 2023. Venture Abroad are great to deal with, nothing is too much trouble and her expert help and advice is much valued. I would never consider an international trip without Venture Abroad.
