Never been river rafting and it did not disappoint. Beautiful scenery, lucky to have no crowds. Our 2 rafts were the only ones on the 2 hour ride.
Excellent guides , very professional and funny. River had some nice smooth spots and some exciting rapids.

We booked a canoe trip in August for my family. Booking is easy with Tripadvisor and all information and documentation is being sent over tripadvisor. The organization is also reachable by Whatsapp and sms. Reception on site is friendly. You receive practical information and instructions. Guides are professional and helpful. This is a great family trip, without any dangerous obstacles while you're paddling downstream. At arrival a nice meal is offered. Definately value for money!

We arrived in Novigrad without a reservation and where lucky some people did not show.
So we could join the Zrmanja rivertour. Our guide was Zoran a very friendly man.
First we crossed the Novigrad sea where a delphin showed up near the boat.
From there we entered the Zrmanja river. The clear green water and the high cliffs are really beautyful. The landscape varies from rocky to nice green hills. We passed the town Obravac. From there we went to a waterfall and had time for a swim. Beware that the walk to the waterfall is over a rocky bumpy path. But you don't need to go there you can swim in the river without diving from the waterfall.
On the boat we had fruit,water,schnapps and some sort of cake.
On our way back Zoran took us to the open sea so we had a great view to the Maslenicka bridges. There we had another swimbreak. A great day to remember.

We took the Boat Excursion in August across the Novigrad Sea and along the Zrmanja River with a really friendly and nice skipper, Zoran. The the relaxing and sedate excursion lasted from 9.30am until about 4.30 and was superb from start to finish. The boat was pleasant and comfortable one with a canopy for shade and seated about 15 people. After crossing the sea the Zrmanja River is along a narrow and high rocky canyon with fantastic views and scenery. It eventually changes to more green vegetation and is great photo scenery. Zoran stopped three times for swimming and diving from waterfalls and rocks, and once for a coffee/ice cream break in a town along the river. Along the way we were treated to schnapps and fruit (included in the price). Zoran was a great skipper who obviously enjoyed his work and made people very comfortable and relaxed. Take swimwear, swim shoes if you have them, sun cream and a picnic and water. I spent the entire trip in my swim shorts. The older kids will love it (8+ if they swim) as well as adults. I'm 64 but I felt 24 on this trip... swimming, jumping, diving in natural surroundings and crystal clear warm waters and totally relaxed. Thanks again Zoran. Best value for money day ever. I would do it again without hesitation. If your anywhere near Zadar don't miss this. A far more pleasant and enjoyable experience than the Plitvice Lakes with millions of people and queues. Enjoy! (Zoran - we were the four Brits sat at the back with two dogs.)

We attempted to book a tour through the website...a couple of days later we finally received a reply confirming our booking.
After over an hours drive we arrived to an empty "car park" ten minutes before the agreed arrival time. We followed the signs down to the starting point to find the place empty, nobody in sight. We waited for 20 minutes. At which point a man and a child came on a motor bike. The child got off, flipped over a boat and the two took off again, saying no word to us. It became glaringly obvious that we were not going to be having the "River Tour" as booked with this company.
On the way out to the main road we stopped at another company - Raftrek to enquire if we could join one of their tours instead. We were informed that none of the tours were going ahead that day due to the strong wind. In the email we received confirming the booking with this company (Zrmanja River Tours) they said it was vital that they had a number to contact us in case of cancellation - they had our number but didn't contact us. We never heard from them - we are just glad we had not transferred money for the tour before hand as one of the payment options.

We have really enjoyed this activity! Learning to kayak with your husband is somewhat a relationship test :-) The guides help you get around and offer a safe guidance through the exciting smaller waterfalls. We skipped the larger waterfalls, but the views of them were amazing. The trip even includes a simple warm lunch.

Family of four, two kids 8 and 10 years and we had a great day. The guides where highly professional and handle the whole group very individually and safety on top. It is a bit of a workout but so well worth it. A great day to remember

This was a fantastic day-trip on a wonderful river. Everything was well organized and very friendly. The meal at the end was low quality. Unfortunately, their equipment was smelling very badly, of the wetness and sweat. I recommend using own helm and the life jacket.

One of the best experiences we made during our roundtrip through Croatia. I booked the tour online and within a couple of minutes we got a confirmation. The tour starts in Novigrad. The skipper Zoran was very friendly and sympathic. We were offered some local biscuits for free. Also there was a broad variety of fresh fruits. Very beautiful was the stop for bathing at the waterfall. The tour was really great and I highly recommend to do it with that team. The fee of 250 kuna per person has to be paid in cash.

A recommendation!! After writing email for booking we still got the confirmation very quickly! Separately we got a sms on evening with all information about this event! This trip is one hour away from Zadar and includes entry to national park Velebit! The absolutely friendly and attentively staff introduces about further steps after arrival.
Attention: Payment must paid in cash (350 Kuna per Person) or pay via bank before trip!
On local station you get coffee before start and getting equipment. Vegans are welcome cause you will asked due to lunch after trip on Zmarnja! Absolutely funny and impressive Tour! Be surprised 🚣🏼♀️ For people with walking handycap it‘s more difficult than without cause you have to go outside from your boat at one waterfall and the path downstairs is very full of stones and rough/uneven.

Hi, what is the starting time of the tour? We have to travel 1 hour to get to you, could you recommend a way to travel from Zadar

Are there parts where you need to jump from the rocks? I see a part in video clips where they chuck the raft down a long drop - worried I’d have to jump? Many thanks
Written May 6, 2019
Dear Helen
You don't need to jump from the rocks at any part of the tour. There is only one part of the trip where you need to go outside from the kayak and walk 200-300 meters to avoid 10 meters high waterfall.
