Croatia (and possibly Montenegro) is on our radar.

Any suggestions of land tours or itineraries? We are fine with driving and touring independently if that is viable but not against a guided tour as long as the excursions have walking/hiking and are active. We don't want to sit in a bus all week looking out a window. Alternatively, I have heard about ferry hopping the islands down the coast. We definitely want to tour Dubrovnik and Split. Possibly Montegegro.

We are also considering cruises and have a list.

Ideas on land tours and hotels welcome!
 
Some input is that while on a cruise with a port stop in Split we rented a car and spent the day hiking here:
https://npkrka.hr/en_us/. Our port stop in Dubrovnik we took public bus to/from the walled city. In Montenegro, I found a sign in an alleyway below some steps that said to the fort 1 euro. So why not? Let's do that instead of the climb to the top of the mountain overlooking the sea.
Except we did exactly that! https://www.moonhoneytravel.com/kotor-fortress/
 
BTW...What is better? Cruise or land for Croatia?
 
Time in Port is important. If you can find a cruise that overnights in Dubrovnik that would be perfect.
Our Celebrity cruise in 2013 began in Venice with stops in Ravenna, Koper Slovenia, Bari, Split, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Valetta, Naples and ended in Rome. 13 nights.
 
Sounds wonderful. Do some cruise lines in Croatia have better access to ports/sites similar to some Alaska cruise lines?

OTOH if Croaia is driveable or offers good trains like Italy going by land may not be a bad way to travel.
 
We just completed a cruise from Barcelona that stopped in Dubrovnik, Kotor (Montenegro), and Zadar (Croatia) before ending at Ravenna. After we transferred to Marco Polo Airport near Venice we rented a car and drove to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Using that as a base we did day trips to Lake Bled, which was beautiful, including a self guided tour of the Bled Castle. We also toured the Predjama Castle, which was built at the mouth of a giant cave. You may want to consider Slovenia if time permits.
