EXPERIENCE SUPERB PADDLING, SCENERY, SIGHTSEEING AND CULTURE IN CROATIA
Croatia’s coastline stretches along the Adriatic Sea from Slovenia in the north to Montenegro and Albania in the south. With over 1,200 islands, Croatia has one of Europe’s largest archipelagoes, making it a perfect place for a paddling adventure!
We start the kayak trip exploring the 45km long island of Dugi otok, known for its’ vineyards, orchards and crystal-clear water. Just south of Dugi otok is the collection of islands that make up the Kornati National Park, a paddler’s paradise with cliffs, caves and coves to discover. During the second part of the trip we paddle through the archipelago adjacent to the town of Sibenik and the natural fjord created by the Krka river where medieval fortifications and little towns dot the river’s course.
The trip is hotel and guesthouse-based, with accommodation chosen for location, comfort and the genuine hospitality received as welcomed guests. Join SSV on our Adriatic adventure and experience superb paddling, awe-inspiring scenery and a history and culture shaped by Central European, Mediterranean and Balkan influences.
