Water multi sport holiday in Croatia
Highlights
Skradin | Krka National Park | Zlarin Island | Sibenik | Paklenica NP | Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers | ZadarDescription of Water multi sport holiday in Croatia
This week long multi sport holiday in Croatia is based in Skradin, a wonderfully traditional town which is also gateway to Krka National Park. The Krka River is at the heart of the town, the Park and of course the holiday, with an itinerary that is a dream come true for all water lovers out there.With five full days of activities, this small group holiday includes adventures such as hiking up waterfalls, canyoning, cycling along the shores of Lake Visovac and white water rafting down the Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers. We offer an optional trip out to Zlarin Island, where we go sea kayaking and where there are some idyllic swimming spots. We also spend plenty of time chilling out in the traditional town of Skradin which is rich in history, has lovely restaurants, cafes and wineries although without the hustle and bustle of traditional tourist resort towns.
In between adventures, we visit some other ancient towns, such as Zadar after a day of hiking in nearby Paklenica National Park, or Split, which is perfect for dinner and relaxing after rafting on the Cetina River.
We can also adapt this itinerary according to the makeup of the group, people’s abilities and interests. Families will love this trip, although the minimum age is eight years old. We cater for maximum 16 people in the group, and please note that sometimes we need to alter the itinerary due to weather conditions, water levels and so on.

The leaders are not guides – they’re not there to shepherd you around. Instead, they’ll let you know which local restaurant serves great value food – without running the risk of travellers’ tummy. They’ll allow you to avoid hour-long queues at train stations and attractions.
We like to think of small group travel as the Goldilocks option. It is independent travel without the fuss, worry and bunk beds – and organised travel without the coaches. And it’s cheaper than a tailor made tour. It’s sits somewhere in the middle – and we think it’s just about right.
Have big, life-enriching experiences that would be impossible to organise without lots of time and insider knowledge.
Simplicity
Make the most of your holiday time by letting someone else do the hard work and boring logistics!
Peace of mind
Small group tours take care of the security aspects – and provide a safety net should anything unexpected happen.
If you don’t have three months to spend exploring, small groups trips let you cover more ground in less time. Your days are not spent queuing for tickets or finding hotels – so you can squeeze more into your holiday.
Solo travellers who’d like company
Likeminded travel companions plus peace of mind for those travelling alone. Single supplements are usually available – providing privacy if you want it.
Less confident travellers
Stray from the tourist trail without worrying about getting lost, and meet local people without dealing with the language barrier.
Couples and friends have private rooms, and you can choose to eat alone or not. Single supplements give solo travellers their own room.
“There won’t be any free time”
Free mornings or afternoons let you explore on your own, or just relax.
“The accommodation will be basic”
Trips are as high or low end as you like. Though off the beaten track destinations won’t have luxury hotels, this is all part of the adventure.
“I won’t like the other travellers!”
Tour operators try to create groups with a similar demographic – age, families, activity levels... Chances are, you’ll even make new friends.
“Will we be following an umbrella?”
No.
Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

In our office we minimize printing actions and recycle paper. Part of our staff is vegetarian and because of that we try to provide quality vegetarian meals on our trips. We also support an orphan bear shelter in Kutarevo.
Skradin is a small town with some 6000 inhabitants situated on the edge of the second biggest Croatian National Park Krka River. Its position is it's big advantage but also its big disadvantage. With more then half of million visitors to a National Park in 2007 only few of them choose Skradin as their destination. Tourists and big travel agencies see it mostly as a passing stop before main attraction. Fees that we pay to go to the National Park contribute to the conservation of that area.
The Impacts of this Trip
By booking this trip you bring much needed income to the people who are still recovering from the war-torn years, as this was the area severely affected by war. This trip ensures that the local people benefit as much as possible in the form of jobs (we employ local guides and drivers) and provision of accommodation (we use family owned hotels or home stays with local family) and most of all that negative environmental impacts are drawn to a minimum. We also use local transfer services, buy food from the small farms and work on developing responsible waste management by stimulating waste recycle.
By buying local products you are supporting this countries’ economy and helping Croatia to stand on her feet again! We consider it our responsibility to lead efforts to maintain and preserve the integrity of this fledgling sector by petitioning the introduction of tighter controls over the use of the country’s natural resources.
As a company, we support the local community by building camps in partnership with local families, building bridges and accesses to the rivers. In order to preserve traventine barriers on Zrmanja River we have built a wooden detour bridges.
The biggest focus of the towns tourist offering are over two dozen famous restaurants which offer a variety of local specialities and vines. Our program combines that and a week full of activity with a base in Skradin's only and locally owned hotel. This hotel used to be a traditional family house, with minimal changes on traditional architecture now converted into an accommodation which gives you a real sense of ambience. This is a first time that one agency organises a multi day program in this area just 10 miles from Adriatic coast but on the edge of all main tourist stops.

We had a free day planned for Wednesday...The group all decided to go for the CANYONING at Cetina river. This was the highlight of the trip. We had an amazing time. Climbing the rocks of the river, jumping from different heights and sliding down on the rapids. The highest rock I jumped was 9 m. I feel very proud that I did it.
