Adventurer’s welcome! Three years in the making this is a real paddler’s trip of Croatian exploration. We cruise past high cliffs with Griffon vultures circling overhead, venture into numerous caves and camp on colourful beaches. We start on the island of Rab and paddle between eight islands, each with wildy different landscapes. Each open channel crossing takes us to completely different surroundings from moonscape barren ground to lush forests and sandy beaches. Forests home to deer, mouflon, owls and hawks and caves filled with thousands of bats.
We will visit ruins dating back to the 4th century and paddle in the first reserve for Adriatic Dolphins in the Mediterranean. Each day holds new surprises! We finish kayaking past St Peter, site of an 11th century abbey, to the island of Ilovik, before transferring by boat back to Rab. Join us for this challenging and exciting adventure.
