from your destination aren\u2019t included in the trip price \u2014 you\u2019ll need to book these independently. You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Zagreb Airport (ZAG) and out of Dubrovnik Airport (DBV).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Please try to arrive in Zagreb before 3pm on Day 1.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"Feel free to depart at your own leisure on Day 8, but we recommend taking an afternoon flight so you can relax in Dubrovnik before you fly home. Your Pack Leader can help you book transfers the night before if needed.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve 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.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 10-20 EUR per day\nDrivers: 5 EUR per day\nLocal tips: your Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip local guides, restaurants, etc. Some Pack Leaders will collect a tipping kitty (approx 38 EUR per person) at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips.\n\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa? ","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalized medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure.

However, it requires a moderate level of fitness and some basic biking experience. The 13km\/8 mile route starts on well-maintained, low-traffic roads and includes a mix of flat sections and gentle downhills, but also some narrow roads and a short uphill segment. If you\u2019re comfortable on a bike and enjoy cycling on varying terrain, you\u2019ll likely find this activity rewarding. If you\u2019re less experienced or unsure, remember that you can opt out at any point and join the support vehicle stationed along the route. We recommend spending some time on a bike before the trip, if you haven\u2019t ridden in a while, to ensure you feel confident and comfortable.\n"},{"question":"What should I expect from the kayaking activity?","answer":"The kayaking activity on Day 2 takes you through the spectacular Mreznica Canyon, where you\u2019ll paddle along crystal-clear waters, navigate around 7-8 small travertine waterfalls, and have the chance to try an optional 3-4 metre (10-13ft) waterfall or cliff jump. This is a safe and playful white water activity, graded mostly as Class 2 with a few short Class 3 sections, making it ideal for beginners and those with a sense of adventure. The river\u2019s \u201cpool and drop\u201d nature means calm stretches are punctuated by gentle rapids, and there\u2019s always the option to walk around the trickier sections if you prefer. Along the way, you\u2019ll also have opportunities for swimming and cliff jumping, with guides on hand to support you throughout. It\u2019s an accessible and exhilarating experience that many Flashpackers find to be a highlight and a great ice-breaker early in the trip.\n"},{"question":" Will we be staying in Dubrovnik's old town?","answer":"You won\u2019t be staying inside the Old Town itself. Instead, we\u2019ve chosen the stylish 4-star Hotel Lero\u00a0for this adventure. It\u2019s a modern hotel with a spa and swimming pool, offering great value while meeting our high Flash Pack standards.\nThe Old Town is still easily accessible \u2013 around a 20-minute walk or a quick taxi ride (less than 10 minutes), which your Pack Leader can help arrange. You\u2019ll also be close to some of Dubrovnik\u2019s lovely beaches, giving you the best of both worlds.\nStaying outside the city walls also means a quieter, more comfortable base, especially during the hotter and busier summer months.\n\u00a0\n"},{"question":"Will this itinerary change?","answer":"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 \u2013 but we\u2019ll 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.\n"}],"hotels":[{"name":"Canopy by Hilton, Zagreb","short_description":"","description":"The industrial chic aesthetic at this city centre hotel pays homage to its former life as a chocolate factory.
