croatia: september 22-29, 2026
Into the Wild is a chance to take a moment for you. To dive deep into your wild woman self. To rediscover the wonder and beauty of both earth’s nature and YOUR nature. To gain the experience of seeing wild shores, pristine alleyways in adorable villages, gorgeous countrysides, and different cultures with other women.
Come unite in Croatia with other women who are ready for an experience of a lifetime. This will be Into the Wild’s SIXTH women’s trip to Croatia and each one has been life changing! You will visit the incredible cities of Split and Dubrovnik, rich in history. You will explore the coastline, the island of Hvar and crystal blue seas together, with women across the globe, where you will be set on a path of stress-relief and excitement. You will also visit Bosnia to see an adorable town called Mostar and a beautiful Waterfall/swimming hole named Kravice.
This trip is designed to help you rediscover you. We offer many types of adventure within this retreat, all of which you can opt in or out of.
Are you interested in sailing? Cliff Jumping? 4 Wheeling? A bike ride through an adorable fairytale town? Kayaking? Learning to cook new cuisine? Self-rediscovery? Self-empowerment? Bringing out your inner wild woman?
This retreat is for you, and women like you. Come as you are and leave as your best self.

Tip: It is very very wise to come into Split a day early if you can, just to adjust and manage your layovers with ease.

Please plan on bringing a 35 or 42L backpack and another small backpack. You can bring a roller suitcase that are these sizes, but it may be difficult to roll them through cobblestone streets, up stairs, etc.

Into The Wild is requiring its trip attendees to provide proof of travel insurance purchase for this trip. Generally this costs an extra $100usd, and can save your bacon when traveling and things go wrong. Please email wendy@itwadventure.com if you have any questions about getting travel insurance. I highly recommend Worldnomads.com and their basic plan.
