Croatia

A gem of pristine coastlines and medieval heritage

Croatia Dubronvik Beach

Bok! Croatia is calling

Croatia truly is a destination that ticks all the boxes: picture-perfect beaches, enchanting island hideaways, delicious cuisine, and a rich tapestry of culture and history.

Imagine yourself exploring sun-drenched coves along the shimmering Adriatic Sea, enjoying seafood fresh from the ocean, or sampling award-winning wines on islands like sunny Korčula and vibrant, red-roofed Hvar. Venture inland, and you’ll discover stunning landscapes—from rugged peaks to rolling vineyards and charming medieval towns.

Love Game of Thrones? Walk in the footsteps of your favourite characters on an exclusive guided tour of Dubrovnik’s ancient city walls.

Croatia offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, vibrant heritage, and epic scenery—without the crowds.

House of Travel Dunedin

I have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City. 

My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between. 

I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years. 

I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.

Flight time

It takes around 24 hours to fly from Auckland to Croatia, including a stopover. Despite the long flight, Croatia’s stunning coastlines and rich history make it a must-visit destination.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go

The best time to visit Croatia is from May to September, especially if you’re interested in the coastal regions. The summer months are perfect for enjoying the Adriatic Sea and exploring the islands.

Time difference

Croatia is 10 hours behind New Zealand, so you’ll need to adjust to a significant time difference.
