Kayaking Mreznica Canyon
Highlights
River: Mreznica
River Kayaking Down the Beautiful Mreznica River
Six stunning travertine waterfalls, crystal clear waters, magnificent canyon, beautiful intact nature, exhilarating cliff jumping, swimming and paddling… all packed in a four hour kayaking trip on the Mreznica.
The great thing about this trip is that you don’t need any previous kayaking experience. It is so safe, even the 6 year olds can join. Still, this Mreznica kayaking trip is exciting enough even for the more adventurous ones. For example, you can jump off the 9 m (29 ft) high cliff.
A Hidden Gem Stone’s Throw from Plitvice Lakes
Although the Mreznica River is close to sometimes too packed Plitvice Lakes, they feel light years apart. The scenery is equally stunning and the waters are equally emerald, but not even all Croatians know about this gem hidden in the heartland of Croatia.
So, if you are staying anywhere in the Plitvice area, this kayaking trip is a must. Another thing: you can’t swim in Plitvice Lakes National Park, but you can swim in the warm waters of the Mreznica. This makes the Mreznica kayaking trip a perfect option on hot days.

Outstanding!!
Comment origin: TripAdvisorOur experience was amazing. Even though it wasn't tourists season they arranged tours for us. We did the trekking and kayaking tours and both were better than expected. The tour guides were professional and friendly at the same time. They help us try some of their local food and we talk about everything Croatia.
