Day 2 – Rafting/kayaking the Kupa River
Let’s start off with the longest river of Croatia! Depending on the season and water level, we will choose the best section for you. If you come in the beginning or the of the season, we may get to go rafting; otherwise, it’s kayaking time! You will receive safety equipment (and neoprene suits, if necessary) as well as paddling introductions before you start floating down this amazing, wild, untouched river with steep forested mountains on each side.

This tour, a combination of kayaking and canyoning, will take 4-6 hours all together. Riding down waterfalls – even if you have never done it, believe us, it‘s fantastic and your guide will keep you safe! If the falls get too high, we can jump from the cliffs, go on natural water slides or walk around them, it all depends on the situation and your comfort level.
This is a trip full of adrenaline and you will see a lot of Mreznica‘s beauties. After landing and changing, you will be transferred back to the hotel, where you can enjoy another relaxing evening before travelling on.

Green Heart of Croatia (6 Days)
Please view this information on our website, where we have more and better details!
There is no better place to spend hot summers days then in the mountains and on the rivers of the Croatian Highlands (“Gorski Kotar”). This area has so much to offer, but still only few people have discovered its secrets. We take you rafting/kayaking on the Mreznica and Kupa rivers, on an easy bicycle tour along the river shore and, of course, to the famous Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Your guide will adjust activities and routes according to your abilities and wishes. After the experiences of each day, relax back at the hotel, enjoy your delicious traditional Croatian dinner or go for a short swim in the nearby river. The green heart of Croatia is waiting to be discovered – by you!
Short Itinerary:
Day 1 – Arrival in Zagreb or Rijeka; taking up lodging in the Dobra River valley
Day 2 – Walking/Hiking in Plitvice Lakes National Park
Day 3 – Kayaking the Upper Mreznica Canyon
Day 4 – Cycling down from Risnjak National Park along the Kupa River
Day 5 – Rafting/kayaking on the Kupa River
Day 6 – Goodbyes & transfer to Zagreb or Rijeka Airport
Itinerary:

After a short introduction, you will be transferred to our beautiful hotel in the Dobra River valley right across an old Croatian castle, where you can settle into your room, meet the other members of the group and discuss the plans for the week with your guide. Relax, enjoy your welcome dinner and go for a walk or a swim in the calm river.
Day 2 – Walking/Hiking in Plitvice Lakes National Park
The UNESCO World Heritage Site and most popular National Park of Croatia is waiting for you: Plitvice Lakes. The karst stone landscape has allowed this paradise of 16 lakes, uncountable waterfalls and little caves to be created.
As we walk along wooden pathways, you will marvel at all those cascades around you. Your guide will choose a fitting route for your group, which may include some hiking up the mountain, as well as a boat tour across the biggest lake.
A mixed day of walking, picture taking, lunch at a park restaurant, hiking and just tumbling around in amazement. Back at the hotel, relax and prepare for the wilder places of the tour.
Day 3 – Kayaking the Upper Mreznica Canyon
After breakfast, and taking a lunch package with us, we drive together to our base camp at the amazing Mreznica River, which is the cleanest and most beautiful Croatian river, as locals rightly say. You will receive safety gear (and neoprene suits, if necessary) and change. Safety talk and off we go.
This tour, a combination of kayaking and canyoning, will take 4-6 hours all together. Riding down waterfalls – even if you have never done it, believe us, it‘s fantastic and your guide will keep you safe! If the falls get too high, we can jump from the cliffs, go on natural water slides or walk around them, it all depends on the situation and your comfort level. This is a trip full of adrenaline and you will see a lot of Mreznica‘s beauties.
After landing, we changing into our dry clothes and head back down through little villages along the river to our hotel.
Day 4 – Cycling down from Risnjak National Park along the Kupa River
This amazing cycling tour is fantastic for both young and old, experienced and inexperienced bikers.
We start off from the National Park’s visitor centre down a paved road with some gravel parts and soon arrive at one of the most unique and spectacular places of all Croatia: the Kupa river source. 168m deep (!), rich turquoise-coloured and crystal-clear – you have probably never seen something like this! From there we follow the river down on well-paved local roads and may decide to cross over into Slovenia for part of the trip, stopping for lunch at a local restaurant there. In the village of Brod na Kupi we head for our nearby rafting base camp on the smaller Kupica River, where we have some refreshments ready for you.
If time allows it and you are up for some more cycling, we will take a forest trail up another creek to the famous 70m-high waterfall of Zeleni Vir. After riding down to the base again, our driver will take us back to the hotel.
Day 5 – Rafting/kayaking the Kupa River
Let’s hit the water one more time! Depending on the season and water level, we will choose the best section of the river for you. Again we will take lunch packages with us and again you will receive safety and paddling introductions before you start floating down this amazing, wild, untouched river with steep forested mountains on each side.
Your guide will keep you safe through some exciting rapids and help you discover the rich plant- and wildlife all around you. For example, the Danube Salmon has managed to survive in this river section, even while he cannot make his way down to the Black Sea anymore, as he did long ago. Back then, there was much more activity on and around the river then today, since it formed an important part of the trade route between the Adriatic Sea and the centre of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
At the end of this river adventure, it’s time to wrap up the trip with another Croatian-style feast, while sharing pictures and thinking back over all the exciting moments of the week.

Time to say ‚Goodbye‘! Depending on your further travel plans, after breakfast your guide will transfer you to the Zagreb or Rijeka Airport or some other place in the area.

This is a trip full of adrenaline and you will see a lot of Mreznica‘s beauties. After landing and changing, it’s time to leave the interior behind us, travel down to the wider Zadar area and take up our rooms in our beautiful hotel right close to the beach.
Day 4 – Sea Kayaking on the Island of Rab
Now that we are at the sea, we simply must visit an island! Rab is not the closest available, but offers far better beaches, bays and views than its southern neighbour Pag. After breakfast, we will drive up the beautiful coastal highway, take a short ferry to the island and get to our launching spot near the city of Rab.
Instructions and practice with this very different sort of kayak (sit-in single or double), and off we paddle. You will feel like you are one with the sea, that‘s how close you are to the water! Easy paddling around the island‘s inlets and points will get us to secluded and picturesque bays, such as you always see in the pictures. We will take time for exploring, lunch stop at a restaurant, swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on the beach.
Tired from amazement and sunshine, we head back to our hotel.
Day 5 – Kayaking on Zrmanja River
For our last day of full activity we choose the most beautiful river of Northern Dalmatia, located in the Velebit Nature Park – the Zrmanja, an up to 200m deep canyon and film location for the famous Winnetou movies.
Here we will encounter many more bigger and smaller waterfalls, and like on the Mreznica, most of them we can ride done. Visoki Buk, the biggest of them, we will merely admire and then take a 5 minute walk around it. In other places you will have the chance of some cliff jumping, swimming or relaxing on the rocks. Altogether we will spend around 4 hours on the river.
By now you will have learnt a lot about kayaking, so you can relax even more and simple enjoy the thrill of this refreshing adventure in Croatia’s beautiful wilderness. After getting back to the hotel, it’s time for another swim in the sea and a proper Dalmatian farewell feast while sharing pictures and going over all the exciting moments of the week.
