Tour Description:
Our trip begins in village Kaštel Žegarski where we will give you required equipment and have a short safety talk. Soon after, we will be heading down the river.
The part of the route from the village to the mouth of Krupa in Zrmanja and Visoki buk (10 meters high waterfall, the highest on Zrmanja) is hour and a half long, and the waterfall will be bypassed by 5 minutes long walk. Going down the river lasts for approximately 4 hours of which one hour is spent on occasional breaks and swimming. Paddling isn’t hard or dangerous, during the summer; the water is clear and refreshing – perfect adventure for beginners.
The trip ends in a village called Muškovci, with some free time for swimming before departure. If you have arrived with your own car, we will drive you to the start point, where you had left your car.
No previous experience is required and children can participate (accompanied with their parents).
On Krupa and Zrmanja, different kind of boats can be used, for bigger comfort and safety. Two persons kayaks are stabile and easy to manage, and we use them during the summer, when water level is low . During the high water levels (autumn, spring), we use raft boats (for 8 to 10 people).
Each kayak is equipped with waterproof bag (for dry clothes, food, camera etc.). You will get a helmet and a PFD, which are required. Depending of a weather conditions, we will provide additional equipment for lower temperatures – neoprene suits.

Rating Zrmanja River Tours
Danke für die Tolle Zeit, hat mit euch richtig SPASS gemacht. Auch der gemeinsame Ausklang in der Hütte fanden wir super. Das Team kann man weiterempfehlen.
Unvergessliches Naturerlebnis auf dem Zrmanja-Fluss! Die geführte Kanu- bzw. Raftingtour war ein echtes Highlight unseres Urlaubs. Alles war hervorragend organisiert – vom Empfang über die Ausrüstung bis zur Tourbegleitung. Das Team war super freundlich, gut gelaunt und hat uns sicher durch die wunderschöne Flusslandschaft geführt. Ein besonderer Höhepunkt war die Pause mitten auf der Strecke: im glasklaren, angenehm kühlen Fluss zu schwimmen und sich inmitten dieser atemberaubenden Natur zu erfrischen – einfach herrlich! Die Strecke war abwechslungsreich, mit ruhigen Passagen und kleinen Stromschnellen – genau die richtige Mischung aus Entspannung und Abenteuer. Auch für Einsteiger absolut geeignet. Insgesamt eine traumhafte Tour, die wir jedem empfehlen würden, der Kroatien von seiner schönsten Seite erleben möchte!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience – Fun for Everyone! My wife and I did the Zrmanja River Tour (canoe/rafting), and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. The whole experience was perfectly organized, and the balance between relaxing paddling and exciting rapids made it both fun and family-friendly. The tour is very doable even with children – the guides are super friendly, patient, and always ready to help if needed. You feel safe and well taken care of the entire time. We really enjoyed the beautiful nature, the crystal-clear water, and the mix of calm stretches and small adrenaline kicks. It’s a great way to explore the river and have some real fun without needing any previous rafting experience. Highly recommended – we’d definitely do it again!
Top Organisation, Top Guides ,Top Tag. Es war unsere erste Kanutour und wir waren begeistert. Von der Begrüßung, über die Erklärung, bis zur Hilfe auf dem Fluss hat alles perfekt funktioniert. Die Guides haben einen SUPER Job gemacht und man hat sich zu jederzeit Sicher gefühlt. Vielen Dank für dieses Erlebnis an das gesamte Team.
