Do you like beaches? Do you like boats? Do you like theme nights? Do you like Game of Thrones? Great! Looks like we are in business (school).
Welcome to #dudewheresmyhvar, where you will meet your new best friends, witness some of the world’s most ‘grammable views, dance until the sun rises, and find out just how much seafood and wine a group of MBAs can consume in 8 days (hint: the limit does not exist).
Join us as we live out our John Snow and Khalissi fantasies while searching for dragons in Dubrovnik, get #spLIT, and beach party our faces off in Hvar. Trust us, this is going to be the time of your life.
Day 1 — Saturday, Aug 15
In the past two weeks, you’ve visited Skeeps, Rick’s, Circ and Live – congratulations, you’re oriented! But, you came to bschool to broaden your horizons and learn about international business and global economies, so now it's time to depart for Dubrovnik!
Day 2 — Sunday, Aug 16
Welcome to King’s Landing! Our resident GoT obsessed leader (Casey) will surely be on cloud 9 as we explore the most beautiful city the mediterranean coast has to offer— Dubrovnik. After touring Old Town’s city walls, we’ll get acquainted and play our first Cheers Governor round of many over some traditional Croatian cuisine and copious amounts of alcohol.
Day 3 — Monday, Aug 17
BOAT DAY #1! Today is the glorious day we take a private boat cruise around the Elaphiti Islands, in search of an ideal instagram spot to make all of our friends back home jealous. Blessed with lush woodland and white, rocky outcrops that enhance the deep blues and greens of the Adriatic, you won’t want to leave! Kayaking, optional.
Day 4 — Tuesday, Aug 18
We’re off to #splittycity! On the way, we’ll stop at the Ethno Village farm of Jurentini Dvori for a wine tasting. Afterwards, we’ll check into our luxurious abode, which is located 1,300 feet from Diocletian's Palace, the ferry port and the Bacvice Beach, and return to what we do best: drinking. Theme night: banana Split.
Day 5 — Wednesday, Aug 19
Google KRKA National Park and scroll through the photos. Dubbed the Victoria Falls of Croatia, KRKA’s waterfalls are accessible only by boat and tiny wooden bridges, or something like that. Swimming, hiking, and you guessed it — boating.
Day 6 — Thursday, Aug 20
#Dudewheresmyhvar? Today, we’ll find out! Free day for beach, pool, spa, exploring, eating, kayaking, snorkeling - you choose!
Day 7 — Friday, Aug 21
Looking for another boat day? Want to make more MBA1 friends? We have you covered - today we’ll take in the full Hvar experience with another group of trekkers and sail around the Pakleni Islands. We’ll explore a few beaches and swim in one of Croatia’s natural wonders, the Blue and Green Cave (warning: no lifeguard on duty). Dinner and night out as a group.
Day 8 — Saturday, Aug 22
Are you ready to Tropic Like it’s Hot? Sea you at Hula, Hula - Hvar’s most famous beach club, known for its cocktails, live music, day dancing, waterfront beach chairs, and incredible sunsets. The first trekker to outlast Lindsay on the dance floor gets a free drink at Skeeps.
Day 9 — Sunday, Aug 23
As we head back to Dubrovnik for our final night together, we will stop at an Olive Mill for an Olive Oil tasting (apparently, Croatia is known for their Olive Oil - who knew?!).
Day 10 — Monday, Aug 24
Today we head back to good ol’ AA, because we are at the finale of our epic journey. But no need to shed any tears because this is just the end to the beginning - see you at Skeeps!
