March 5, 2021 - The 2021 Maestralan Hike is collecting donations for this year's Maestral Kayak and to purchase children's sports equipment for the Maestral children's home in Split.

Maestralan hike is the idea of a small group of active people and friends, taking the children of the Maestral home in Split to the mountains once a year to spend a playful and cheerful day in nature together.

The Maestralan Hike team has launched a GoGetFunding campaign to collect donations for this year's Maestral Kayak and to purchase children's sports equipment. 

"In 2018, we started a humanitarian and educational campaign for kids at the Maestral Children's Home in Split - Maestralan hike.

It is an endeavour from the team at AndAdventure Croatia to give back to the community while creating an active atmosphere for everyone involved. For three years, we enjoyed hiking to the mountains with children while teaching them the value of outdoor life and nature. In the past three years, our company-sponsored and provided full logistical support for the project. Furthermore, the humanitarian action's ultimate goal was to raise funds to provide children with the necessary equipment for sports and recreation, and this is where we got supported by our dear business partners from the tourism industry and by many individuals who recognized the project's value.

AndAdventure Croatia is a small privately-owned adventure tour operator. Due to the COVID-19 situation and a complete halt in the travel business that resulted in significant financial loss, we need your help to make this event happen in 2021 and bring smiles to children's faces and raise funds for their new sports equipment.

For May 2021, the team at AndAdventure has prepared a fantastic day trip to Hvar town from Split with guided sea kayaking to Pakleni islands, including workshops to give the kids of Maestral a chance to learn about marine life, play in nature, and learn new skills. So after three years of hiking, we are ready for some sea kayaking. By organizing this event, AndAdventure hopes the children of the home can be educated and find higher interests in the benefits of an active life outdoors.

AndAdventure will support the project through the logistics, guides, and sea kayaking equipment rental, but we need your support to cover additional costs such as ferry tickets and children's meals. Furthermore, humanitarian action's ultimate goal is to raise additional funds, as in past years, to provide children with the necessary equipment for sports and recreation," reads their GoGetFunding description.

February 23, 2020 - For the third year in a row, AndAdventure is organizing the humanitarian and educational campaign Maestralan Hike on March 14, 2020.

The Maestralan Hike is an admirable endeavor from the team at AndAdventure to give back to the community while creating an active atmosphere for everyone involved.

The idea of the Maestralan Hike is a humanitarian and educational campaign for the kids of the Maestral Children’s Home in Split. The team at AndAdventure has prepared a guided mountaineering trip to Mosor with workshops at the Ljuvač meadow (at the foot of the Umberto Girometta mountain hut) to give the kids of Maestral a chance to adventure in the mountains, play in nature, and learn new skills. By organizing this event, AndAdventure hopes the children of the home can be educated and find higher interests in the benefits of an active life outdoors.

Furthermore, the ultimate goal of the humanitarian action is to raise funds to provide children with the necessary equipment for sports and recreation, and to enable the education of young mountaineers at the HPD Mosor Children's Mountaineering School.

1^st March 2018; Summer in Croatia isn’t far off and soon, millions of tourists will be setting their sights to Croatia in search of the best destinations, attraction and activities. In our new series on TCN, Things to Do in Croatia, we will be working with local partners to bring you the very best of what to do in this diverse country. This week, the winter ‘cushion’ has got us thinking about getting active again, so we are teaming up with AndAdventure to share the ‘Top 5 Active Tours in Dalmatia’ for 2018.

According to a survey commissioned by the Boating and Watersports Holiday Show (part of the London Boat Show currently taking place), this weekend, 13^th January 2018, is set to be the busiest day for Brits booking summer holidays!
