Adventure FAQs

Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code

Fly into and out of Split Saint Jerome Airport (SPU).

What time should my flight arrive (time for the welcome meeting)?

Ideally before 3:30pm to make it in time for your welcome meeting at the hotel.

What time should my flight depart on the last day?

You have an included departure transfer. Your ferry leaves Hvar at 10.15am, so choose a flight from Split that departs after 2pm if you’d like to use the shared transfer to the airport.

Are airport transfers included?

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you’ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.

However, if you’ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you’ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer. 

Please also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you’ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure’s departure date. You’ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won’t be chasing you. That’s why it’s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you’ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.

This adventure includes a departure transfer to Split on your final day. 

• Your ferry leaves Hvar at 10.15am, so choose a flight from Split that departs after 2pm if you’d like to use the shared transfer to the airport.

How much should I budget per day for extras?

We recommend budgeting around 150 EUR per day.

What fitness levels do I need for this trip?

We recommend having a read through of the itinerary above, and getting in touch if you have specific questions on fitness. Overall, the trip is relatively relaxed, however, there is a good amount of walking (at your own pace) and a rafting excursion on Day 2 – see next FAQ for more info.

This activity is gentle, with only minor descents. The majority of the experience will involve paddling down calm rivers amongst beautiful scenery.

Will the itinerary change?

Please be aware that the itinerary, activities, and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.

Do I have to share a room?

Please be aware that room arrangements for this trip are organised based on same-sex sharing in twin rooms, unless you have purchased the single supplement.

If you prefer a single room, please note that it incurs an extra cost and must be booked in advance, subject to availability. You can add a single supplement during the booking process or by getting in touch with our Customer Experience team.
