Adventure Tourism

Croatia is well-known around the world as a top cruising destination, but the country also provides a plethora of adrenaline-pumping activities to delight even the most seasoned adventure seekers. So, the next time you visit the "Pearl of the Adriatic," try out some of these extreme activities for an unforgettable trip.

White Water Rafting on the Cetina River, southeast of Split, and the Zrmanja River, east of Zadr, are popular among both locals and visitors. Floating down Croatia's rivers in the spring, when the rivers are at their swiftest, is a thrilling experience. Some of the better rafting spots are also found in Omis, which has class 2 and 3 rapids, and Karlovac, which is located at the junction of four rivers and is only 35 miles south of Dubrovnik. After a day on the water, you can enjoy some of the Karlovacko brewery's products.

Canyoning is, above all, a human-centered and incredibly enjoyable adventure. The purpose is to travel through narrow gorges, with various ascents and descents, and ultimately finish in the river. This is a good thing because Croatia has several canyoning areas with caves, waterfalls, and crystal-clear streams. If you are seeking intense and exhilarating activity, Split, Omis, or Rijeka are some of the spots to visit.
