Details
Try out a new rafting trend - packrafting! Explore the emerald waters of the river Zrmanja from a one-person raft. This gives you a unique opportunity to paddle yourself and have more control of the river. Of course, you will be joined by one of our expert guides who know the region like the back of their hand. During this tour, you will witness untouched nature and breathtaking landscapes along one of the most beautiful rivers in Croatia. Firstly, we will practise paddling and steering the boat so, during the second part of the tour, we can venture out onto the more tumultuous waters. This way, you will learn everything on the water and you don't need previous rafting experience. We are looking forward to meeting you in Kaštel Žegarski!
