The perfect trip - Dreamlike weather, a clear cold river, beautiful scenery and nice guides. On our holiday this was definitely the highlight. The tour was in English. We were able to sit in a boat in two, one paddling forward and the other steering, teamwork is essential. Even if we were a bigger group, the crowd is spread well along the track. Eventually your arms really got lame, but with the breaks and refreshments in the water it was all in all the perfect excursion.

Family Trip in October - Our family truly enjoyed this trip. The tour lasted about four hours, and we covered around ten kilometers at a light yet steady, sporty pace. We made three short stops along the way, which was just right — though I’d say the pace suits someone with a bit of prior experience in such adventures.
The surrounding nature was absolutely breathtaking, and our child was thrilled throughout the journey. The highlight, of course, was going down a three-meter drop with the boat — an unforgettable moment!
If you appreciate active outdoor experiences, this tour is definitely worth it. Special thanks to our wonderful guides, Andrei and Matej, for their great support and energy.

Great experience - A great experience to experience the nature of Croatia from the river. Also possible for solo travel, I was allowed to paddle with the guide.

Wonderful - Very well-organized day.
The guides were very friendly, and the instructions were clear. The walk lasts about 5 hours and includes several breaks. The return trip is done by van to get back to the starting point.
Provided: helmets, neoprene shorts, rain jackets, and life jackets. Bring water shoes so you can walk anywhere without getting hurt.
The walk is beautiful and suitable for beginners. I highly recommend this activity, whether as a couple or with family. Merci !

Beautiful canoe tour - A beautiful day on the river. Nice guides and good organization.
On a 10-kilometer route, a crystal clear water and a beautiful environment awaits you. Over mostly calm currents and small rapids, we go along the canyon. You almost always have to paddle, but there are breaks to rest. Create for everyone. The highlight is the 3 meter waterfall. The only downer, there's only one person in the boat. You can still jump or bypass the waterfall. Bring your own lunch and water. The tour is highly recommended.

A brilliant family day out - We had a brilliant day on the river as a family, our boys (aged 9 and 13) absolutely loved it. Everything was really well organised, the guides were really friendly and fun but also ensured everyone was safe and knew what they were doing, instructions were all given in English. There were several opportunities to stop for a swim in the river, including over lunch. At the place where you finish there’s also a great swim spot with a slide, rope swing and bridge to jump from, we spent another hour there. Would highly recommend this trip- lovely scenery and really fun! 🤩

Amazing!! - Had an amazing time and our tour guide Adam was awesome! Quite the adventure and highly recommend for having a great time in Zadar! Pack a lunch and you are set to go! We had breaks for swimming and cooling off on a hot day! Great tome talking to others in our small group. Highly recommend doing the transfers so that they pick you up, bring you there and bring you back! Also an amazing view on the way!

Spectacular - Our best holiday experience. Of course, it's full during the summer holidays. Nevertheless, with this tour you can combine a sporting activity with a nature experience. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. Despite some rapids, the tour is also suitable for families, as the spectacular finale (a 3-meter waterfall, which is sometimes omitted depending on the weather) is voluntary. I managed it with my 9-year-old daughter even without much experience.

Great experience with the best guides - What an experience in Croatia. By canoe through the river, over smaller and one large waterfall. Fun for all ages. The guides accompanied us superbly and provided a decent atmosphere. Also the transfer worked great and was punctual and safe. An all-round successful trip with the family. We stayed in a 3 person canoe with two adults and a child (9 years). Everybody had fun.

Top Tour - Listen carefully to the explanations you get about sending. Other than that, it's just going with that yellow banana.
