Waterfalls Adventure Holidays

Adventure Holidays - Rafting

Extremely popular with our guests in 2007, the highlights of this multiactivity adventure package include hiking, biking and canoeing
through the breathtaking scenery of Plitvice National Park. The park, a World Heritage Site, plays host to 16 lakes, numerous waterfalls fed by both the Black and White Rivers, as well as seemingly endless forests
which make for a unique and unforgettable experience.

The itinerary will also take you on a journey down the Mreznica, Zrmanja, Korana and Krupa rivers by kayak with an option to raft on either the Dobra river or down the Una River along the border between Croatia and
Bosnia.

Accommodation is provided by the families of Korana Village, a small romantic place hidden away in a valley either side of a river of the same name in Plitvice National Park. The houses are small, traditional dwellings with simple rooms in an idyllic setting. The peaceful atmosphere makes for an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area.

Itinerary

 

Day 1 Saturday:

Leave Zagreb or Rijeka airports behind on the transfer to Korana Village in Plitvice National Park. After settling in to your accommodation, join other members of the group in the evening for a light meal by the river.

 

Day 2 Sunday:

Cycle through the forests and over the hills to the Barac caves for a guided underground tour. After visiting the caves you will have time to relax and enjoy the scenery, before returning to Korana village for a traditional Croatian evening meal.

Please note that cycling the entire route may be difficult for smaller children so alternative arrangements can be made with your guide.

 

Day 3 Monday:

A day of hiking around the lakes and spectacular scenery whilst passing the numerous waterfalls which make this area so special.

 

Day 4 Tuesday:

An expedition down the Mreznica River, with opportunity for lots of swimming. This is the most beautiful part of the river, where the water temperature in summer can reach 25 degrees Celsius. You will travel down deep, narrow canyons and many waterfalls - up to 10 meters high.

 

Day 5 Wednesday:

Embark on a river kayaking expedition through the canyons of the Mreznica River, with plenty of opportunities to cool off with a swim. The journey meanders through a breathtaking valley with narrow gorges, forest and open meadow. Later in the day, a visit to the water mills of Rastoke provides the opportunity to relax, enjoy dinner and contemplate the day’s activities.

 

Day 6 Thursday:

Head South for canoeing down the magnificent wild-west-like canyons of both the Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers. Enjoy the easy rapids, swimming in crystal clear waters and shower under the waterfalls.

 

Day 7 Friday:

A day to be spent at leisure in the Village, or as an alternative, take a private trip in the park or travel to the nearby Bosnian town of Bihac for an unforgettable rafting trip on the Una River Canyon, culminating with a real Bosnian lunch and Turkish coffee.

Please note that rafting will incur an additional charge of approx £40 per head, payable on site, and is dependent on suitable water levels.

 

Day 8 Saturday:

Depart Korana village for the airport and flight home.
