If you have itchy feet and want an exciting holiday, one of these Dalmatian rivers should be your next destination.
Some of them form grand canyons and dozens of sparkling waterfalls, some cut the hearts of mountains and some pass through historic towns, but all these Croatian rivers are among the most beautiful ones in Europe.
Many would agree that gazing at their beauty is rewarding enough. However, you can embark on an adrenaline trip and become one with nature. Check out the best Croatia rafting and kayaking options!
Zrmanja
Various Zrmanja rafting and kayaking possibilities attract adventure lovers to this wild, but lovely river. Exciting rapids going through the karst terrain of southern Lika and northern Dalmatia are perfect for rafting, while a 200-metre deep canyon is ideal for a calm kayaking trip. We suggest you end a day of excitement by checking out the beautiful waterfalls, especially the 11-metre tall Visoki buk.
Cetina
Cetina rafting is undoubtedly a top choice of many adrenaline seekers coming to Croatia. Beautiful Cetina flows from Dinara mountain to the Adriatic sea, forming a huge canyon and gorgeous waterfalls along its way. If you Google “Slap rafting Cetina”, you’ll see that besides navigating the river on an inflatable raft, you can spend your day swimming under the waterfalls or exploring historical sites along the shore.
Una
Una is one of the most prominent locations for river rafting in Croatia. You can enjoy it regardless of your rafting skills because there are different sections suited for all experience levels. Many would say that the most attractive part of Una is the Štrbacki buk – Lohovo section, but this is also the most demanding route. If you wish for a more peaceful trip, try out the zone settled on the lower part of Una suited for easy adrenaline fun.
Mrežnica
Due to travertine barriers and more than 90 waterfalls, this is one of the best Croatian rivers for kayaking and rafting. Mrežnica should be your top choice for spending a day in nature if you want to see not only crystal clear waters and mesmerizing cascades, but also charming old windmills and the remains of the stone cities along the way.
After a day of excitement, there’s nothing better than returning to a comfortable bed, and luckily there are plenty of cosy accommodation options in Camping Village Šimuni. You can also explore the beautiful Pag archipelago on a kayak or a SUP board, as you can rent them in Šimuni. Everyone knows that adventure and Dalmatia go hand in hand, so besides kayaking, you can also try out bungee jumping, paintball or sailing.
