WHAT TO EXPECT

Our Packrafting Zrmanja tour is perfect for those who want to explore one of Croatia’s most stunning rivers in a unique and active way. Using packrafts, small one-person inflatable kayaks, you’ll have full control of your boat as you paddle through crystal-clear water, gentle rapids, and hidden canyons. Packrafts are lighter, more agile, and more fun than traditional kayaks — ideal for adventure seekers who love to connect with nature up close.
