Private Tour: Olive Picking in Solta Island with Lunch

Once your booking is confirmed, you will receive electronic tickets for the ferry. It takes 45 minutes to arrive on the Island. This tour starts from Rogac on Solta Island.

When you arrive in Solta, you will be guided to the groves to participate for two hours in a traditional olive harvest with a local family. They will teach you how to harvest by hand and you will enjoy the traditional harvesting on late summer sunshine. You will hear many interesting stories about the island and its people. At least one of your hosts will speak English fluently, but take the opportunity to learn some words in Croatian too.

After two hours of harvesting in a relaxing atmosphere, it is time for lunch and for processing the olives. We shall go then to Olynthia Olive Mill to process the olives. It is an amazing experience to be able to see on the place how extra virgin olive is extracted from the fruit in only in 1 hour, with the help of latest technology.

During your lunch, you will be taught how to taste olive oil while drinking local wine. Learning and experiencing something new is always challenging, especially tasting olive oil. Our “Olive Oil Tasting” program will teach you how to taste olive oil the same way professionals do. It’s an unforgettable experience which you can later share with your family and friends.

After lunch you will get small bottle of the fresh cold pressed extra virgin olive oil as a memory from your olive picking experience. The ferry back to Split leaves at 5:30pm.
