Really good day, beautiful setting the river was crystal clea. family of three boys who all had a great time once they decided who was going to steer the kayak. Advisable to put plenty of suncream on your legs..
Brilliant day with a nice mixture of easy canoeing plus some exciting rapids and small waterfalls. However felt very reassured and safe with our guides Michaela and Maran (? ) who were professional and friendly, speaking exceptional English. Pick up was well organised, easy to follow and communication clear. Nice air conditioned transfer taxi, Guides gave info about the river and wildlife. Scenery was beautiful, impressive gorge and waterfalls. Valuables, water, phones were put in a small waterproof barrel which travelled in canoe with you allowing freedom to take photos and water at your leisure. Rest of our bags remained in transfer taxi which was waiting at the end of our river adventure. Very well organised & superb opportunity to see more of beautiful Croatia. Thank you to all involved especially our guides.
Very cool excursion, mega beautiful landscape, clear water, and super guides, absolutely recommended! I was there with my 8-year-old daughter, and even though she didn't paddle, she also found the trip very nice.
Great to river, fantastic nature, some guys behaved like on a party after too much alcohol, a little overdoing things. Otherwise great experience
It was a very nice tour, super great nature and impressions. The tour guides were super nice. A very successful day, we can only recommend this tour.
We had a great day. The river is magnificent, the course is varied. Stops are planned for swimming, jumping, or eating. The guides are really very attentive. They make sure that everyone feels comfortable and enjoys themselves according to their kayaking level. They are cheerful and seem to be having as much fun as we are! The pickup is perfect! I highly recommend it!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute highlight of our Croatia vacation! The kayak tour on the Zrmanja was simply unforgettable. The nature is breathtaking! The crystal-clear water, the impressive rock faces, and especially the ride through the canyon are simply spectacular. The mix of calm passages for enjoying the landscape and exciting whitewater sections was perfect and provided plenty of variety. We especially liked the various spots for cliff jumping, where jumps from heights of 3 to 8 meters were possible. Those who dare are rewarded with a unique experience! A huge thank you goes to our guides Christian and Duda. They were outstanding from start to finish—friendly, competent, motivating, and available for questions at any time. We felt safe and in good hands throughout the entire tour. For our daughter, this tour was a very special adventure. She showed an incredible amount of courage—especially at the approximately 3-meter-high waterfall. It was nice to see how she grew beyond herself. She will certainly never forget this experience. A small suggestion for improvement concerns only the organization at the end of the tour. The website gives the impression that the tour ends where it begins. In reality, however, one person per group is taken back to the starting point in a vehicle provided by the operator, in order to then pick up the rest of the family or group with their own car. This results in about 42 minutes of driving time each way. Especially in extreme heat, this is not quite ideal. Perhaps this process could be described more clearly on the website or a more comfortable solution could be offered. However, that is really just a very small point of criticism compared to what you experience during the tour. The overall package is simply outstanding, and this organizational aspect does not change the fact that we would book the tour again at any time. Many thanks to the entire team; it was simply mega and one of the most beautiful experiences of our vacation!
The trip was really nice, but I wished it would be possible to also book a more advanced tour with people who are able to ride a kajak already properly. Thanks to the team, I was able to ride the kajak alone after the break.
I really liked the area and the spot we visited. Our guide, Simon, was cool, funny, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We misunderstood the meeting point at first, but the driver came and picked us up from our hotel. Otherwise, we would have been late. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it.
Best guides ever. Come prepared for an unforgettable adventure! Most beautiful area in Croatia with guides who are kind, professional and make the trip an awesome adventure.
