The Journey
Our Lady of the Rocks

These tunnels, strategically carved into the coastline, served as clandestine shelters for submarines during the Cold War era.

Mamula Island
Confront the poignant history of Mamula Island, dominated by a 19th-century fortress that served as a prison camp during World War II. While the island's beauty is undeniable, its past is complex and moving. As you approach the island by boat, your skipper/guide will share the somber history of this imposing structure. Take a moment to reflect on the events that transpired within its walls. Mamula Island presents a unique opportunity to connect with the past and contemplate the enduring impact of history. Although the stay is brief, it leaves a lasting impression.
Blue Cave

As your boat glides into the cave's luminous interior, sunlight filters through an underwater opening, creating an otherworldly display of vibrant blue hues that dance across the cave walls.
