NP Krka week of hiking, rafting and sea kayaking

Adventure on three rivers near the Adriatic coast!

Skradin is a unique town hidden in the Krka River estuary, 80 kilometers from Split, on the very edge of the national park. The small picturesque town, rich in history, has a couple of family-run hotels, restaurants, pubs and wineries, a beach and marina - all in friendly atmosphere. It is absolutely not a typical tourist-hotel resort.

This activity program is a well balanced mixture of activity, nature and culture. Your days will be filled with biking and hiking up the waterfalls and across narrow streams, touring lakes in a canoe, kayaking through rapids of exotic river canyons, rafting through jungle-like forests and exploring caves. Afternoons and evenings will be spent in relaxing ambience of Zadar and Sibenik old towns, Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace in Split and Trogir art treasures - both UNESCO World Heritage sites.
