Have you ever dreamed of kayaking or rafting in a more personal, small-group setting? Then packrafting the Zrmanja River is the perfect adventure for you. This emerald green gem in Croatia offers a peaceful yet thrilling experience through untouched nature and stunning river landscapes. Unlike traditional rafting, packrafting allows you to paddle your own lightweight, one person boat, giving you full control as you navigate the beautiful Zrmanja under the guidance of our skilled instructors. It's a new addition to our adventure lineup, but already a popular experience around the world.
The trip begins at Kastel Zegarski, where our friendly guides will welcome you and prepare you for the journey ahead. After a safety briefing and an introduction to your packraft, you'll start paddling on calm waters to practice steering and getting comfortable in your boat. Soon after, the real adventure begins glide through crystal-clear waters, tackle gentle rapids, and admire the towering cliffs and serene landscapes around you. As you paddle downstream, the Zrmanja reveals its beauty with every bend.
Along the eleven km route, you’ll experience exciting rapids, swim beneath cascading waterfalls, and even enjoy a relaxing picnic beside one. Don’t forget to bring a snack for a peaceful break in nature! The trip is designed for small groups of up to ten people and is suitable for beginners, families with teenagers, and anyone aged twelve and above with a reasonable fitness level. With two daily departures available, packrafting the Zrmanja River is a refreshing and unforgettable way to explore Croatia’s natural wonders.

Definitely recommend! It was such a great experience, they didn't rush us and they were very accommodating. The guide gave us a tutorial and barrels to pick our stuff waterproof, then sent us on our way! The river is gorgeous and clear and the waterfall was a perfect spot for a swim and picnic. Very easy kayak to the waterfall and it was nice weather and too not busy. It was a great experience to do whilst we visited Zadar.
A wonderful experience with lovely guides. Highly recommended this trip. It’s a beautiful river to kayak down with some lovely rapids and waterfalls. The guides were super friendly and really looked after everyone
We had a brilliant day on the river as a family, our boys (aged 9 and 13) absolutely loved it. Everything was really well organised, the guides were really friendly and fun but also ensured everyone was safe and knew what they were doing, instructions were all given in English. There were several opportunities to stop for a swim in the river, including over lunch. At the place where you finish there’s also a great swim spot with a slide, rope swing and bridge to jump from, we spent another hour there. Would highly recommend this trip- lovely scenery and really fun! 🤩
One of the best adventure experiences I’ve ever had! We booked the kayak rafting tour (also called “sit-on-top kayaking” or “mini rafting”), and it was the perfect way to enjoy the river up close — a great mix of fun, challenge, and connection with nature. The guides were outstanding — friendly, professional, and super encouraging. They made sure we understood all the safety basics before getting on the water and gave us tips throughout the route to improve our technique and confidence. You’re basically paddling your own small inflatable kayak, so you get full control and feel every rapid, which makes it way more exciting than sitting in a big group raft. The scenery was absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, dramatic rock formations, and lush forest all around. There were some adrenaline-filled moments, but it always felt safe thanks to the support from the guide team, who followed us and stepped in when anyone needed help. The whole experience was smooth from booking to the end: well-organized, all the equipment was top quality, and the vibe was relaxed but focused on safety and fun. We even stopped along the way to swim in the river and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
This was an amazing kayaking trip for me in Croatia. I had a blast and really felt safe as well as had adventurous time. I got amazing pics. This tour was plenty of time and not too long or too short. It will be high on my list of favorite things I did while in Europe for 9 weeks and saving $ with this amazing travel club. I booked this excursion on our travel club and saved $.
