Specially for our group Raftrek team has developed an excellent journey. In the program of active travel we needed to add a daily yoga practice. We increased the number of days from 8 to 12, active adventures to alternate days off to relax and yoga practice (but even 12 days not enough, we wanted to stay forever).
During the 12 days we visiting the NP Krka; rafting on the Cetina and Zrmanja; trekking to the NP Paklenica, cycling NP KRKA; jumping from the Maslenica bridge (Bungee jumping); diving with a 5 meter cliff into the river; walking the mountain to the ruins of old castles and Ages 11-13 towns; enjoying walks through the ancient cities of Sibenik, Split and Zadar; kindling a desire to dance to the local guys in a night club in Zadar. And of course, twice a day practicing yoga in enjoying a delicious and amazing flavors of Croatia.
We lived in different places. A couple of days in Skradin - very nice town with swans.
Two nights spent in tents on the river Zrmanja. This camping is just an incredible place. A piece of enjoyment away from the bustle of the modern world. The night we met in the company with billions of constellations, and in the silence of the night just a beautiful song of the waterfall and the crackling fire in unison with the water. And the energy of all the elements come together in this place at night! Oh! It was, however, very cool!
The main part of the trip we stayed in Novigrad! If I would be a good painter, then by my standard drawings might recognize this place. There is so surprising, when you get there, which drew a million times. I have never seen such a beautiful sunset! The sun goes down into the mountains ... From the tops clouds hugging mountains and the foot of the mountains caressed by the see! Solar road stretches of water and incredibly closed fit to the terrace on which you are waiting the diner, whit enjoyment looking on amazing view, dreaming and drinking a glass of the delicious local vine!
Now, from romantic to the facts;)
Traveling with Raftrek it`s a pleasure. We noticed a very important thing – in this team there is no random guides. All the guys are real professionals, all very interesting, intelligent, with a sense of humor and positive attitude. There is the feeling of the team spirit and good relations in the team.
Each day of this journey with us was a great guy Edis! Big hello to you and thank you for all in our travel! We were incredibly lucky that we had this guide. Ed amazingly interesting , intelligent, inquisitive, told us many interesting things, we felt easily and comfortably in his company. We always find topics for conversation, and most importantly laughed all the time! Thank you for pretending that our jokes was funny:-)! Even in our free days he's always thinking up fun for us! Thanks again for a super company! Also, thanks to super and fun guy Tin, he was our skipper for rafting on the Zrmanja. We was laughing and enjoying from the heart during the rafting. And most importantly - thank you, Tin, posing for our photo camera! Now your photos will be distributed all over Russia in the advertising posters of the rafting! In Cetina with us was skipper Lino, with respect Hello for him! Thanks for the interesting stories!
If describe in a few words about my impression about Raftrek, then it's certainly SMART TRAVEL.
Something new they will open for you or something new you will discover in yourselves.
If you've never tried water sports (e.g., kayaking), then Zrmanja this is the place to fall in love with this sport, or at least to have an unforgettable emotions. If you have never thought that could be carried at high speed on a bicycle down the hill, then cycling in NP Krka will help you imagine what it is - a sense of speed (I wanted to learn the bike after this trip) ...
There are many options open yourself something nice and great! Just go to the adventure. With us was one girl who has did not understand why she go for so active rest, she was sure it would be better to lie on the beach and do not move, to really take a break from a busy year ... At the end of the journey, she said, that it was her best holiday and she got quite a lot of positive energy and power ...For me it's the only way to relax, enjoy the body and brain ... This is an amazing state.
At the end I would say so – open smart journey with Raftrek adventures!
Raftrek – it`s adventures which thought out of detail, staff is perfectly matched, feels a strong leader, logistics at the highest level, perfect equipment. With these guys you just cannot miss ... If you go to Croatia for the active adventure – do it only with them!
P.S. Last year I was on Zrmanja and promised to return to the jumping from the big waterfall. This year I returned but the guides will not let me jump into the river because of high levels in the water ... Well, I have to meet with you guys once again!
