What travellers say about the experience

Visiting Losinj will leave you feeling invigorated but with a sense of tranquillity. It’s certainly a place I’m going to return to and discover more about one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets.
— Becki Rendell, Meet Me in Departures
The 6-day trip is full of wonderful moments. Everything is imagined to get closer to nature and culture. Meeting conservation and sensibilisation stakeholders in action, and talking to them is a real privilege. This island is a great example of a Mediterranean dream.

An exquisite designer lunch at Bocca Vera is interrupted only by a trip on the famous Loger sailing boat. To end this wonderful day, sunset at Providenca with breathtaking views of the Island.
