Itinerary
Your unforgettable adventure starts the moment your guide greets you at either Zagreb or Rijeka airport. Together, you’ll journey to the enchanting village of Zvecaj, where you’ll settle into your riverside hotel. In the evening, mingle with your fellow adventurers over a delicious dinner and soak up essential information about your upcoming journey from your knowledgeable guide.
Dive into the world of packrafting as you glide along the serene lower section of the Mreznica River after a comprehensive safety briefing. Be captivated by the rich biodiversity around you, and take breaks to swim in the crystal-clear waters. Once you return to the hotel, unwind by the river or engage in some friendly competition with a game of beach volleyball.
Day three turns up the excitement as you conquer the exhilarating rapids and waterfall jumps in Mreznica’s upper section. After the adrenaline rush, transfer to the heart of the pristine Velebit Nature Park and set up camp by the Zrmanja River in Kastel Zegarski. Share stories of the day’s adventures over a home-cooked dinner prepared by your gracious host.
Awaken to the soothing sounds of the river and fuel up with a locally-sourced, homemade breakfast. Then, embark on a full day of packrafting, navigating through the stunning Zrmanja River. Pause for a swim beneath a secluded waterfall, before testing your paddling skills on exhilarating rapids and cascading waterfalls. At the day’s end, relax back at camp and savor a traditional dinner.
Bask in the songs of birds as you enjoy your final riverside breakfast. If time permits, seize the opportunity for one last dip in the river or a leisurely stroll through the surrounding wilderness. When it’s time to say goodbye, we’ll arrange your transfer to Zadar or Split airport, taking cherished memories of your Croatian adventure with you.
