Skradin is a unique town hidden in the Krka River estuary, 80 kilometers from the Split airport, just on the edge of the National Park. The small picturesque town, rich in history, has a couple of family-run hotels, restaurants, pubs and wineries, a beach and marina. It is off the main tourist paths and remains a friendly town rather than a fast-pace resort. Our program is a well balanced mixture of activities, nature and culture. Your days will be filled with hiking up to the waterfalls and across narrow streams, touring lakes in a canoe, kayaking around islands and on rapids through exotic river canyons, rafting along wild thick forests, and exploring caves. Afternoons and evenings will be spent in the relaxing ambience of the towns of Zadar, Sibenik, Split and Trogir. The low-effort activities of kayaking, rafting, bicycling and sea kayaking make a pleasant way of traveling through unspoiled and remote areas. The sea, the lakes and the rivers of the area are safe and friendly, with pleasant summer temperatures.
