A great day out

Really enjoyed the whole experience. Good communication from them before the day. Tour guides were excellent and made us feel safe but whilst having fun. The river is amazingly cool and clear and the scenery something else. 10/10

Amazing

Great fun with fantastic views. Camila was a wonderful🤩, patient and caring instructor and a good guide. I highly recommend it, whether you're alone or with someone else. Water shoes for the rocks, a towel, and a change of pants are essential. It's also worth bringing water, a sandwich, a baseball cap or sunglasses, and sunscreen.😉

Operator response

Thank you so much! 😊 We’re thrilled you had such a great time and enjoyed the views. Camila will be so happy to hear your kind words — she truly loves what she does! Hope to see you again for another adventure soon! 🌊✨

Fantastic canoe tour on the Zrmanja River.

Fantastic canoe tour on the Zrmanja River with top-notch guides and reliable equipment. The river was crystal clear, the two guides were very funny and competent, and the entire tour, including the return trip, was organized excellently. The excursion was a good mix of relaxed paddling and solid action in the form of rapids, small waterfalls, and some climbing. The containers for the food were waterproof, and it was simply a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

The perfect trip

Dreamlike weather, a clear cold river, beautiful scenery and nice guides. On our holiday this was definitely the highlight. The tour was in English. We were able to sit in a boat in two, one paddling forward and the other steering, teamwork is essential. Even if we were a bigger group, the crowd is spread well along the track. Eventually your arms really got lame, but with the breaks and refreshments in the water it was all in all the perfect excursion.

Family Trip in October

Our family truly enjoyed this trip. The tour lasted about four hours, and we covered around ten kilometers at a light yet steady, sporty pace. We made three short stops along the way, which was just right — though I’d say the pace suits someone with a bit of prior experience in such adventures. The surrounding nature was absolutely breathtaking, and our child was thrilled throughout the journey. The highlight, of course, was going down a three-meter drop with the boat — an unforgettable moment! If you appreciate active outdoor experiences, this tour is definitely worth it. Special thanks to our wonderful guides, Andrei and Matej, for their great support and energy.

Great experience

A great experience to experience the nature of Croatia from the river. Also possible for solo travel, I was allowed to paddle with the guide.

Wonderful

Very well-organized day. The guides were very friendly, and the instructions were clear. The walk lasts about 5 hours and includes several breaks. The return trip is done by van to get back to the starting point. Provided: helmets, neoprene shorts, rain jackets, and life jackets. Bring water shoes so you can walk anywhere without getting hurt. The walk is beautiful and suitable for beginners. I highly recommend this activity, whether as a couple or with family. Merci !

Beautiful canoe tour

A beautiful day on the river. Nice guides and good organization. On a 10-kilometer route, a crystal clear water and a beautiful environment awaits you. Over mostly calm currents and small rapids, we go along the canyon. You almost always have to paddle, but there are breaks to rest. Create for everyone. The highlight is the 3 meter waterfall. The only downer, there's only one person in the boat. You can still jump or bypass the waterfall. Bring your own lunch and water. The tour is highly recommended.

A brilliant family day out

We had a brilliant day on the river as a family, our boys (aged 9 and 13) absolutely loved it. Everything was really well organised, the guides were really friendly and fun but also ensured everyone was safe and knew what they were doing, instructions were all given in English. There were several opportunities to stop for a swim in the river, including over lunch. At the place where you finish there’s also a great swim spot with a slide, rope swing and bridge to jump from, we spent another hour there. Would highly recommend this trip- lovely scenery and really fun! 🤩
