Frequently Asked Questions

A general level of fitness that allows you to get out daily and enjoy the beauty of the locations is advantageous.In Croatia you will be exploring the Island of Vis by peddle, paddle and foot power.  Fitness is a difficult thing to judge, we see a huge variety of fitness levels. The kayaks are doubles and if guests find it difficult to paddle longer distances then we can partner them with someone who is stronger. The length of the kayak trips can be modified to suit all levels. Cycling involves quite a few hills, the bikes are great but they are not electric bikes, so they need input by the peddler. One way routes are an option with a pick up in our landrover for the return trip. For our guests who are really motivated to maintain a high level of fitness then we can always plan extra bike routes, afternoon run routes for that extra mileage. There is also the option of a pre breakfast stretch and yoga outside next to the sea.In Austria it's important that you do not have any serious knee injuries that prevent you from being able to walk up and downhill. In summer you will be hiking and possibly mountain biking. In winter you might go skiing, snow shoe hiking and cross country skiing.Please note that all activities are optional, often some family members choose to have some alone time hanging out at MoaAlm, checking out the wonderful mountain views whilst others physically participate.

Guest ages have ranged from 18 months to mid 70's and we see no reason why this range can’t be broader. Some of the fittest guests we have had stay have been over 60. If your fitness is not what you'd like it to be don’t worry - the whole holiday is designed around your needs, fitness levels and what you want to do on a daily basis.

Yes of course!  We think our holiday is perfect for the single traveller, time to meet and explore the island with other people, but also plenty of time to do your own thing.

The daily plan is designed around your preferences and everything is optional. Remember our thing is 'RelaxinglyActive'...We have had circumstances where a family has done different things, for example, Mum has gone cycling with the teenage children and the Dad has stayed at the house to finish his book in the shade of the terrace.
