River rafting in croatia

michael_e, Sep 2023

A chill adventure

Laurens_D, Jul 2023

We jumped from a 9 meter high waterfall (optional) and we we didnt have to hurry it was a very chill but exciting experience.

It was difficult to find...

Ilse_B, Jul 2023

It was difficult to find the starting Point! The kayaking was Great, but no pictures Could be taken of our curious jump into the waterfall- Other groups took Pictures , that could be Improved. And a group picture in the end Would be a Nice Souvenir! But all in all a Great experience

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Ilse, thank you for the review! We will try and improve the signs to our base, as well as adding additional services to the trip - thank you for the feedback. We hope to see you with us again! Kind regards

Incredible experience

Alexis_B, May 2023

Fantastic experience, full of thrills and exciting challenges down the Mreznica Canyon. All 4 guides were amazing, and helped us navigate the waters. It was one of the best water adventures I’ve ever had and highly recommend it. Lots of fun!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thomas_D, Aug 2022

Perfect balance between cliff jumping, kayaking and very nice sorroundings. Tour guide a young lady was very balanced in her guiding.

Super experience

Wouter_J, Jul 2022

Great experience, also for the kids. Valentino was a super guide. Free jump is great, but don't loose your camera (like we did)

Super excursion!

Fantastic kayak tour

Frank_H, Sep 2021

Fantastic kayak tour with amazing nature, some challenging parts, and professionally guided by Katharina!

Great summer fun!

Maxim_B, Aug 2021

I enjoyed the experience a lot. The whole route was incredibly beautiful and fun. We went through many big and small waterfalls and our guide supervised us on every slope. What was really nice was that the group was not too big and we all got attention and help of the guide. They also provide us with whole body constumes and all necessary equipment. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience this fun summer journey in the surroundings of extraordinary nature and lovely people!

The best ever

Best Kayaktour - amazing nature

Irena_K, Jul 2021

This was one of our best Kayak-Tours we ever had! The river is amazing! There is a lot of action but you never feel unsafe. Everyone who dreams of jumping from a cliff into a river has many opportunities to do so. Those who‘re to scared can take the easy way. The guides are very professional and helpful. If we ever come back here we will definitely have another trip! Hvala puno!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Irena, thank you for taking the time to write this great review! We're glad you had a wonderful time with us. We try to ensure everyone feels safe but adventurous with us. We hope to see you again soon!

Best experience in Europe so far

Seanine C, Aug 2019

My family and I decided to get immersed in the beautiful river system instead of walking around Plitlice National Park like sheep with the other thousands of people. It was the most amazing river system that one could set eyes on. We got to kayak, cliff jump and swim in it, so totally immersed. Water was a beautiful 22 degrees. It didn't matter how deep it was, you could see the bottom. It was like Lord of the Rings fairyland world. The guide Eugene was funny and worked hard to make sure everyone was happy. I highly recommend this tour. Great value for money as well, plus the kids thought it was awesome with the cliff jumping. Totally safe as well. I didn't worry once. Oh and the amazing waterfalls too. WOW . this was absolutely amazing. I will rave for years about it.

We were in Europe for 3 weeks and...

Lisa B, Aug 2016

We were in Europe for 3 weeks and this was certainly one of the highlights. Our guide was fantastic and looked after my 70 year old mother like she was the queen: We were a group of 7 ranging from the age of 17-75 and everyone had a blast: I highly recommend.

Our family had a great day kayaking...

Tim K, Aug 2016

Our family had a great day kayaking. The staff were funny and friendly. The scenery was beautiful. It is not a hard workout, but still very exciting. There are several nice falls we took the kayaks over. The kids loved jumping off of the cliffs and swimming at the stops along the way. Our best family kayak adventure yet!!

Tolles Event

Khanh_N, Sep 2023

Jederzeit wieder...

Kirsten_D, Aug 2023

Guide Bastian war sehr nett, alles wurde professionell durchgeführt, tolle Natur und es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht.

Tolles Familienerlebnis

nicolelennoxlina, Aug 2023

Wir starteten die Family Kajaktour als Familie und fanden dieses Erlebnis einfach großartig! Man konnte von Wasserfällen springen und/oder mit dem Kajak abwärts gleiten! Der Guide Vito war absolut firm, eine Bereicherung, sehr sympathisch und durchaus humorvoll!
