Adventure Croatia canoeing Canoeing-in-Croatia

The most beautiful Croatian rivers run through the karstic areas, which means that they abound in limestone barriers and waterfalls, which in turn, due to the abundance of rain and sun, are bordered by lush vegetation. During the dry season the waterfalls retain sufficient water among the limestone barriers to ensure pleasant touring by canoe, kayak, or indeed for diving. Rivers lose neither their clarity nor their green hue except during the heavy spring and autumn rains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One is hard pressed to find easier to navigate and yet at the same time more interesting rivers to be negotiated by canoe, complemented by magical sites in which to pitch your tent or to do some recreationa fishing. Waterfalls are often inclined to disrupt a journey by canoe, although where detours are necessary they are not particularly onerous or time consuming and provide a rare opportunity to enjoy the wealth of the falls. In summer time one may venture beneath them to discover and investigate impressive caves.

 

The rivers, and their wondrous canyons, are never far from the tourist oriented shores, although their relief and biological characteristics differ greatly from those found along the coastline. Taking advantage of this vicinity, coastal tourist destinations frequently organize one-day excursions to the rivers, and since the guides are experienced padcllers one does not need the strength needed for paddling, or experience. Indeed, such a river excursion is suitable for the whole family.
