Croatia: which region is ideal for hiking and snorkelling?

Hi there, Once again, I’m turning to VoyageForum to kick off my trip planning—this time, it’s Croatia! I’m treating my 29-year-old daughter to a trip where we’d love to combine hiking and snorkelling. I’m not sure if we can focus on just one region, but that’d be ideal since we’ll only have 10–15 days in August this year. Could anyone point me in the right direction for a first lead? Are transport links easy to navigate? Is it better to go with Airbnb or a hostel? Thanks in advance for your tips! Laurence from Bayonne

Hi there, Croatia in August isn’t really ideal for hiking—it’ll be hot and pretty dry, except maybe around Plitvice. Instead, consider a little detour into Slovenia, specifically Triglav National Park (Bohinj). It’s absolutely stunning! For the coast, I’d recommend Korčula, though it’s not the best for snorkeling. Honestly, I’m not sure where you’d find great snorkeling spots in Croatia, but maybe some locals or experts here can point you in the right direction.

Thanks so much for your reply!! It really helps me out !
