Indochine Photoshop Workshop with Ben Wilmore
This unique journey combines a Photoshop workshop featuring renowned Photoshop guru Ben Willmore with unforgettable cultural exploration and photography adventures in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, including magnificent Angkor Wat.
With a 2,000-mile coastline, hundreds of small green islets, a balmy Mediterranean climate, and famously translucent waters, the Dalmatian Coast is the perfect destination to explore by boat and on foot. Aboard our 12-guest yacht, we set off from ancient Dubrovnik, Lord Byron’s “pearl of the Adriatic,” to enter a world of red-roofed Renaissance towns and enchanting villages perched above a shimmering sea. Magical settings abound, from the uninhabited archipelago of Kornati National Park to medieval Hvar, with its ancient stone houses and fragrant fields of lavender, rosemary, and sage. Our journey is full of cultural exploration, walks, swims in the crystal-clear sea, meals of fresh-caught seafood, and the joys of one of the most beautiful and historic coasts in all Europe.

The walled city of Dubrovnik is a World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. We roam the narrow lanes, enjoying the city’s famed mix of European sophistication and medieval art treasures.
Embarking aboard our 80-foot sailing yacht, we depart for Mljet, with a barbecue lunch on board as we savor our first views of this beautiful coastline. We take a leisurely bike ride to Mljet’s saltwater lakes or visit its 12th century Benedictine island-monastery. In Korcula Island’s fortified Old Town, our walking tour is followed by wine tasting at a family-run winery and a visit to the island’s south coast.
With its jagged green bays rising from turquoise seas, Hvar Island is spectacular, sun-splashed, and carpeted in aromatic fields. We walk the quiet back streets of Hvar Town, a medieval port of pretty promenades and a bustling harbor full of fishing boats, with an optional walk up to the 16th century Venetian citadel. A leisurely cruise with swim stops offers us distant views of the striking Kornati Archipelago, a group of exquisite and largely uninhabited islands.
With a packed picnic lunch, we hike the wooded trails of Krka National Park amid interconnected lakes, towering cliffs, and streams cascading through winding canyons.
We cruise to the island-town of Trogir, a beautiful walled village occupying its own small island. The Old Town, completed between the 13th and 15th centuries, is a World Heritage Site full of enchanting treasures. Cruising to Split, we disembark and visit the 3rd century ruins of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s palace before we depart on Day 10.
We cruise aboard the 12-guest Gardelin, a traditional gulet-type yacht with teak decks. She is a 27-meter wooden motor-sailer with a wide beam for stability and comfort above and below deck. The Gardelin sails with a crew of three. She was completed in the spring of 1997, built of oak, red pine, mahogany, and teak, and refitted in 2003.
The Gardelin has seven double cabins, each with a private bathroom. Meals are served al fresco on the quarterdeck. Cuisine consists of fresh local dishes supplemented with fresh seafood as it is available.
Note: The hotels and lodges listed above are our signature accommodations for this trip. Although it is highly unlikely, we may make substitutions when necessary.
