Enjoy a variety of activities on Croatia’s stunning unspoiled Island of Vis. Students will explore the island by foot, paddle and peddle power. Kayak into remote bays, cycle to small villages through the vineyards and hike through the old trails to fishing coves. The trip involves physical challenges combined with cultural experiences and a visit to the local school to gain a greater understanding of life on a Croatian island.
A visit to the island of Vis is a great way to combine physical activity with discovering life on this beautiful historical island. Your hosts, Xania and Craig are both PE teachers who have now made the island their home. Students will be encouraged to develop leadership skills and cooperative skills while experiencing sea kayaking, cycling through vineyards and hiking to remote villages. The trip is about self development, discovery of new communities and participation in everyday Croatian life. Croatian history is very diverse and the island of Vis is no exception. The trip can be tailored to suit the curriculum requirements of your school. It can be a combination of physical experiences with History for example.
The island was a Yugoslav military base until 1991 and the British helped General Tito hide on the island during WW2. The locals have a first hand knowledge of the impact of conflict on the community.
As far as Geography and Environmental topics, students can understand the issues that seasonal employment has on the local economy and the positive and negative effect that tourism can have on an island. What’s special about this island is that tourism has only been allowed to develop in the last 10-15 years, and is very controlled. You won’t find hotel complexes or rampant commercialisation on Vis.
Education will be combined with the friendliest of people, unspoiled, secluded coves, delicious food, stunning scenery and the cleanest waters in the Adriatic .

A recent article in the Telegraph reports that every £4 spent on family planning over the next four decades would reduce global CO2 emissions by more than a ton, whereas a minimum of £19 would have to be spent on low-carbon technologies to achieve the same result, the research says.
The report, Fewer Emitter, Lower Emissions, Less Cost, concludes that family planning should be seen as one of the primary methods of emissions reduction. The UN estimates that 40 per cent of all pregnancies worldwide are unintended.
If these basic family planning needs were met, 34 gigatons (billion tonnes) of CO2 would be saved – equivalent to nearly 6 times the annual emissions of the US and almost 60 times the UK’s annual total.
Roger Martin, chairman of the Optimum Population Trust at the LSE, said: “It’s always been obviously that total emissions depend on the number of emitters as well as their individual emissions – the carbon tonnage can’t shoot down as we want, while the population keeps shooting up.”
UN data suggests that meeting unmet need for family planning would reduce unintended births by 72 per cent, reducing projected world population in 2050 by half a billion to 8.64 million.
The research is published on the day that the Government’s climate change advisers, the Climate Change Committee, warned households and industry that a planned 80 per cent reduction in emissions are likely to prove insufficient.
