Paddle the Zrmanja River near Zadar through a canyon, rapids, waterfalls, and clear swimming spots on this family-friendly guided tour.

“We took a kayak trip for three people and I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was—highly recommend. Upon arrival, you're welcomed warmly by the hosts, who help you park and get you ready with a brief explanation of what to expect. It’s hard to say what’s more beautiful—Zrmanja or Velebit—but experiencing them from the heart of nature is indescribable. Our guides, Andrija and Julio, were excellent — they deserve all the praise because a big part of what made this experience so amazing is thanks to them. If you're in that area and want to go together, reserve a three-person kayak a day in advance. I didn’t…”

Review of Trogir’s five-hour speedboat tour to the Blue Lagoon, Maslinica, and Duga Bay, with practical advice on stops, value, and families.

“Really enjoyed this trip and can't believe how quickly it went. Sites visited were varied and all beautiful, but in hindsight we would consider a longer eight hour trip as the time flew by. Transportation was really convenient and they even offered to pick us up from our resort pier the day before. Contact and instructions were excellent. Boat was well equipped for our children and for everyone who wanted to swim.”

“This tour was a perfect ending to our trip to Croatia. Visiting three places in one day was very nice and we had enough time to swim in two places. And some chill time eating gelato between the swims. Sadly we didn’t have any sun when we were at blue lagoon but still it was so nice! The crystal clear water was perfect and you could spot a lot of different fishes there. Luckyly sun came out when we were in Solta island and it was just a perfect ending to the tour! Also as a plus size girlie I felt really comfortable and the skipper was really nice and…”
