Over sixteen days, you will travel 200km by sea kayak, hike deep karst canyons, raft the Zrmanja River and explore protected national parks, historic stone towns and remote island wilderness. This is not simply a paddling trip — it is a complete immersion in Croatia’s maritime and cultural landscape. The journey includes 11 paddling days, 2 hiking days and 1 rafting day, with distances averaging 15–22km per day. The longest paddling stage reaches 27km, and the longest island crossing is approximately 4km. You’ll camp on remote beaches for 10 nights and enjoy 5 nights in private rooms for rest and recovery. Participants may join the full 16-day expedition or apply for one of the 8-day segments (Day 1–8 or Day 8–16). Partial bookings are discussed with the full-trip group to maintain cohesion. Private groups may request alternative dates outside scheduled departures. 🤝 Why Choose Us For over 18 years, this team has focused exclusively on sea kayaking. With more than 60,000km paddled, 800+ day trips and 300+ expeditions completed, their knowledge of the Adriatic coastline is built on real experience rather than seasonal guiding. The very first Odyssey ran for 32 consecutive days, setting the standard for the ambitious, well-supported journeys that followed. Groups are kept small, between 6 and 12 participants, ensuring a close, well-managed expedition atmosphere. Guides are locals whose livelihoods are tied to the sea, and their understanding of weather systems, island routes and hidden anchor points is second nature. The philosophy is simple: travel well, travel responsibly and take the time to do it properly. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Professional local guides Sea kayak and full paddling equipment Rafting experience on Zrmanja River Speleo adventure in Modrič Cave National Park and Nature Park entries 13 breakfasts, 12 lunches, and 11 dinners Camping equipment including tent and sleeping bag Dry bags and safety equipment Luggage storage and transfer during expedition Group transfer on departure day ### What’s not included Personal insurance Transport to and from the meeting point Lunch in Pag Town Dinner on Day 7 Restaurant dinner on Prvić Farewell dinner in Skradin Personal snacks and beverages Single room supplement + 200€ (5 nights) ### Kit list Lightweight paddling clothing Waterproof jacket Sturdy walking shoes Sandals for camp Swimwear Quick-dry towel Sun hat and sunglasses Sun protection Reusable water bottle Personal toiletries Headtorch Small daypack for hikes ## FAQs ### How physically demanding is the expedition? This trip is graded moderate to advanced. Average daily paddling ranges between 15 and 22km, with the longest day reaching 27km. There are open crossings up to 4km and consistent multi-day effort. Participants must have prior sea kayaking experience and good endurance. Hiking days are classed easy to moderate but involve uneven terrain and limestone paths. A solid base fitness level is essential to enjoy the experience fully. ### Can I join only half of the expedition? Yes. You may apply for either Day 1–8 or Day 8–16. However, partial bookings are reviewed in consultation with the full-trip group to preserve group cohesion. Approval for the second segment is not guaranteed, as joining mid-expedition can influence dynamics and shared logistics. ### What is a typical expedition day like? Most days begin around 07:30 with breakfast, followed by launch at 09:00. Paddling is divided into two or three segments with swim or snorkel breaks. Lunch is taken on a beach between 13:00 and 14:00. Camp is typically established between 16:00 and 17:00, leaving time for swimming, rest and shared dinner preparation before sunset. ### Are meals fully catered? Yes. Fourteen breakfasts, lunches and dinners are provided across the expedition. Meals focus on Mediterranean staples with fresh produce, salads, pasta, rice dishes and fruit. Participants are welcome to assist with cooking. Special dietary requirements are collected in advance via medical forms to ensure safety and preparation planning. ### Is camping gear included? Tents and sleeping bags are included in the tour price. Participants are encouraged to bring their own inflatable mattress if preferred; rentals may be available. Campsites are wild and remote, selected for shelter and minimal impact. ### What safety measures are in place? All participants must wear life jackets while paddling. Guides monitor weather forecasts daily and adjust routes where required. The itinerary remains flexible to prioritise safety and enjoyment. Emergency communication and first aid equipment are carried at all times. ### How is luggage managed? Excess luggage is stored securely at the start and returned in Skradin. Access can be arranged during private-room stays on Days 6 and 7. This system ensures kayaks remain balanced and light during open crossings. ### Can private groups request different dates? Yes. While scheduled departures are fixed, private groups may request alternative dates subject to guide availability. Custom logistics can be arranged for closed groups of appropriate size. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20250510_153315-1280x768-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 28 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
