In a few words

Welcome to Croatia's hidden river paradise! Embark on an expedition on the Mrežnica River, a 3 or 5 day adventure that will immerse you in the heart of one of the country's most pristine canyons.

Designed for adventure enthusiasts, explorers and anyone with a thirst for wild nature, this expedition is a kayaking journey through waterfalls, travertine barriers, emerald pools and protected natural monuments.


During these five unforgettable days, you will navigate through narrow gorges where sunlight barely touches the water, swim under waterfalls, jump from cascades and spend your evenings in riverside camps, surrounded by silence and stars.


From the wild canyon upstream to the tranquil arms downstream, each day reveals a new facet of the Mrežnica River. This is a true expedition on the water: you travel entirely by kayak, camp in the wilderness, and cook over a campfire, rediscovering the simple joys of outdoor living. If you've ever wanted to feel like an explorer again, this trip is for you.

The highlights

  • A true river expedition on the purest fresh waters of Croatia
  • Campfires, starry nights, barbecues cooked over a wood fire, and the gentle murmur of the river
  • Small groups, great experiences, simplified logistics
