About Island Discovery
Island Discovery is redefining bespoke travel in the Adriatic by creating personalized tours that celebrate the beauty and culture of the Dalmatian islands, through an international lens.
International Owner, Maria Randall
Island Discovery's Maria Randall has a goal to bring more of the unforgettable experiences that fully immerse visitors in the culture of Croatia, as she herself has experienced. Maria’s personal experiences from living in the UK and Ireland, travelling abroad regularly and now living in Dalmatia, has inspired Island Discovery’s intimate and specialised tours for small groups visiting the region.
'For us, it's personal. We've curated private tours that have special meaning to us of our first days in Croatia. We cannot wait to share all that we love of this magical place with the world’.

As a mother, business women and lover of people, Maria aims to ensure that all guests experience The Island Discovery Difference. From seamless online bookings to all-round smooth sailing with personalized touches, Maria and her crew offer ultimate day out.
‘It’s the little touches that make our charters so special. We will capture your memories with drone and underwater photography, for example. Those small details mean you can truly immerse yourself in your surroundings”.
