The two-hour journey to the island of Krk is the best time to meet your fellow passengers and the crew.

Around noon the boat will be just outside the old town of Rab in the harbour and after the meal you will have opportunity to enjoy the old town atmosphere or to cycle more to the nature reserve of 'Dundo' forest on the peninsula Kalifront and back to Rab.

Please be careful when driving on the island because there are many sheep on the road. In Novalja you have the opportunity to go back to ship, or to move on further with the group. We definitely recommend a break in a traditional tavern to taste the famous Pag cheese. In the idyllic village of Mandre we go back to ship and transfer from there to the island Molat. Dinner and overnight in Molat.

Molat is the smallest island of this trip and therefore also  the most romantic.The village of Molat has only a bakery, a shop and 2 or 3 bars.

Take a coffee break here and a walk through the small village with two churches. After the break you can decide whether to take the same coastal road again driving alone back to the ship or select the more difficult version to cycle together with your guide to St Jelena hill and back to M.
