Zrmanja River: Half-Day Guided Kayaking Tour Near Zadar - What the 5 to 7 hour day actually includes

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,817 reviews · 5 - 7 hours · from $64Our pick

Paddle the clear Zrmanja River through a canyon, rapids, and waterfalls on a family-friendly guided kayak trip from Zadar.

“Our original trip was cancelled due to high winds but we were pleased to be able to reschedule for our last day in Croatia. It was a great experience. Even though we weren’t the best at kayaking at the beginning, the guide was super helpful and by the end we had got the hang of it. Really beautiful surroundings and fun going down the rapids and waterfalls. Take a picnic for the breaks. It’s not suitable for people with mobility issues as there is some walking on uneven ground to get past the 12m waterfall. Easy pick up from Zadar. Highly recommend the trip and Raftrek.”

“During our recent excursion 2 the sea, my kids & I encountered a disappointing obstacle - a dense layer of unsightly brownish algae and slime, preventing us from enjoying activities like snorkeling, swimming, and cliff jumping. Despite this setback, the guides leading our tour displayed exceptional adaptability & promptly redirected us to alternative, equally captivating spots. Initially, I found kayaking challenging, as the kids & I were navigating a kayak for the 1st time. One of the guides graciously tethered our kayak to his own, ensuring a smooth journey to the caves. As we gained confidence & paddling skills, we eventually tackled the remainder of the tour independently, albeit consist...”

“We were not off to a great start on this tour when we fell in very close to the beginning, but we were able to turn it around! Be prepared that this is not an easy tour - our guide Mike told us at the end that we had burned about 600 calories in the 3 hours. The cave was cool, but very rocky and very slippery. There were opportunities to snorkel or cliff jump. We saw a beautiful sunset and enjoyed a glass of wine once we got back! I was shocked that my arms weren’t sore the following day!”
