Discover the wild beauty of Croatia’s Zrmanja River on a canoe safari or rafting adventure through a spectacular karst canyon. With clear water, travertine waterfalls, and a route suitable for beginners, this experience combines gentle paddling, swimming, and time to relax in one of North Dalmatia’s most scenic landscapes.

Starting from Kaštel Žegarski, you’ll head out with a professional guide, learn the basics of handling a sit-on-top kayak, and enjoy a small-group outing designed to feel personal and uncrowded. Family departures are also available, making this a great choice for parents travelling with children.

No previous experience is needed, and the activity adapts to river conditions: kayaks are used in lower water levels, while rafts are used when the water is higher. With equipment provided and return transfer back to the start included, all you need to do is come ready for an active day on the river.
