2. What is your company's mission?

Our dream is to ensure that travel ideas and dreams come true only limited with our imagination and that our guest travelers have fun living the dream! To wake up early for a morning paddle, swim or run is encountering the beauty you’re sure to find outdoors, no matter what the weather is. The memories you create – and the changes that happen within – are where the value of genuine adventure travel lies. You’ll have stories to share when you return home. For reaching new memories, we’re here to guide you.

3. What does your company specialize in?

We specialize in outdoor and adventure travel, a range of one-day activities or multi-day trips that are a well balanced mixture of nature, activity and culture will make your stay in Croatia even more interesting. We do things differently – away from the throngs of mass tourism. We’ll challenge you physically, to discover and learn, recognizing that yearning for adventure, and that spirit of teamwork. That’s what drives us to pursue the remote corners of our amazing country – on foot, with paddle, or any means that immerses us in the unforgettable scenery around us.

4. Who is the founder or owner of the company and briefly describe his/her past activities?

The founder and owner Davor Kos - The story is very simple. Davor came on one of Croatia rafting trips in 1994 and 15 years later he started his own company. His extensive experience has been gathered on the world famous rivers grade IV and V and brought him an IRF license - International Rafting Federation. A great team work took him on two World Championships and several European championships in rafting. He enjoys spending time in nature leading rafting and kayaking trips on Croatian rivers, but also passionately enjoys mountain climbing and trekking.

5. What is your most popular travel package and why?

The philosophy is very simple - each of our trips is a one-of-a-kind adventure by a well choreographed backstage effort. After 10 years of practice, we've perfected the craft of creating and delivering great experiences and service within Croatia. From the first time we talk to you about a trip until you return home, we ease your trip preparation.

6. What is the best compliment you received from a client?

What a fantastic, well run and personal organization. Look no further than RafTrek if you seek an adventure holiday in Croatia. They are more flexible than any other company we contacted for our trip and by far the most friendly and polite. The guides were all superb and could answer any question about the culture or surrounding areas which ensured an excellent balance of professional expertise and comfort. Robbie, Ivan and Ilija were all such fun and the real glue of the group. Their company was sorely missed once we left Skradin. I shall recommend the organization to all and sundry and was delighted by the good value of the trip. All in all, a brilliant adventure! Thanks to wonderful Branka for all her help and patience too.
