Water multi sport holiday in Croatia

Carbon reduction

Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO₂. Learn about the CO₂ emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.

Environment

On our trips we bike on paved roads only, walk and hike on bitten paths and admonish our guests not to feed, fish, hunt and disturb animals.

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.

Community

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.
