Kayak Safari on Zrmanja River
Obrovac, Croatia
Trip Type: Kayaking & Canoeing
Duration: 4 hours
The only way to see the upper part of the river Zrmanja is on a kayak or on a rafting tour. The beauty of this 14-km long track captivates you at first sight. Crystal clear water winds through a 200 meter high canyon. The river's flow has created limestone waterfalls up to 11 meters high. Zrmanja is, by far, the most beautiful river. With its strength, and strength of its confluent, for millenniums, Zrmanja has been wriggling its way to the sea shaping the most beautiful landscape hidden in deep canyon.

The most important things to know is that Zrmanja River is the only river in Croatia that has a rafting/kayak tour above the hydro plant and nature decides if we are going on a rafting or on a kayak tour. The route is the same but if the level of the water is high we go on a rafting tour and if the water is low we go on a kayak tour. We can go on a tour regardless of the weather (sun or rain) but in case we have a strong wind we won't go. We are entering the nature at a 14 kilometers long canyon so safety is most important.
Meeting point is in Obrovac city center. Obrovac is a small city on river Zrmanja. After meeting in Obrovac we will go to the start of the kayak/rafting route, which is nearby, where we have our locker room where you can change into bathing suits.
When we come to the official start of the activity each participant will get a neoprene suit, a protective helmet, a life jacket and as for your personal equipment, it is necessary to have a bathing suit, an extra T-shirt if you want and shoes for water or some old trainers in which you can go into the river. We prefer that guests have their own water shoes or old sneakers. After we dress you up in neoprene, jacket and helmet we will talk about the river and behavior on the river. No previous experience is needed, and anyone can do it but there are certain rules you will have to follow that will be explained on the day.

The skipper will always be first and leading the group, you will be following the skipper and the group will be as fast as a weaker member in the team. We will all wait for the last one - no matter who it is, to ensure the group stays together.
