The highlights of this multi-activity adventure package include canoeing, hiking and biking in the area around the Plitvice Lakes National Park, experiencing breathtaking views and stunning scenery. The park, a World Heritage Site, plays host to 16 lakes, numerous waterfalls fed by both the Black and White Rivers, as well as seemingly endless forests which make for unique and unforgettable experience.
The itinerary will also take you on a journey down the Mreznica, Zrmanja and Krupa rivers by kayak with an option to raft on either Dobra or Una River, along the border between Croatia and Bosnia.
Accommodation is provided by the families of Korana Village, a small romantic place hidden away in a valley either side of a river of the same name in Plitvice National Park. The houses are small, traditional dwellings with simple rooms in an idyllic setting. The peaceful atmosphere makes for an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area.
