No prior paddling is needed, children from six can join with an adult, and the route takes you into the limestone gorge with time to swim. Family departures are offered as a separate rate if you want a quieter group. 📋 Key Details Duration: Around 4 to 5 hours Minimum Age: 6 Group Size: Minimum 4 Craft: Sit-on-top kayaks or rafts Typical Start: Around 10:00 🗺️ Itinerary We'll meet you at Kaštel Žegarski and get you onto two-person sit-on-tops, or onto rafts if the river is high. The gorge closes in quickly, with clear water, limestone walls and living travertine falls, and the group stays small enough that you're not lost in a crowd. Family departures run as their own start if you want a quieter day. Halfway we stop to swim and eat whatever snack you packed; that's the long pause, so nobody is rushing you back into the boat. Jumps are only if you want them and we say the landing is clear. Then you paddle on to the take-out and we transfer you back to the same village. A typical day is on the water around 10:00 and back by mid-afternoon. 📍 Location Kaštel Žegarski is in the Zrmanja hinterland of North Dalmatia, postcode 23450, about 75 km from Zadar and a similar distance from Šibenik. The meeting point is the river base in the village. From Zadar the drive is via Smilčić and Obrovac: stay on the main road at the big junction rather than turning down into Obrovac town, then follow signs to the start. The canyon is a karst gorge with living travertine falls, and the Krupa waterfall sits on a premium departure if you book that rate. You will need your own transport to the village unless you add a Zadar or Biograd transfer. Parking is at the base, and the van brings you back there at the end so the drive out is the same road you came in on. ✅ Prerequisites No kayaking or rafting experience is required. Children from six can take part with a parent, and the two-person sit-on-tops are the usual craft in low water because they are stable and easy to steer after the briefing. You should be happy to get wet and to follow simple paddle instructions. When the river is high the group uses rafts instead of kayaks, which is a safety choice rather than an upgrade you pick. Skip jumps and swims if you are pregnant or injured. Everyday fitness is enough for a four to five hour day, and the guide's call on th… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided kayak or raft descent of the Zrmanja with a safety briefing Sit-on-top kayak or raft, paddle, buoyancy aid and helmet Long neoprene suit and rain jacket when the weather is cold Waterproof container for small personal items Return transfer from the take-out to Kaštel Žegarski All river equipment needed for the trip ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point, unless you book a Zadar or Biograd transfer rate Premium Krupa waterfall extras, unless you book that rate Picnic food, snacks and drinking water Swimwear, a towel and a dry change of clothes Water shoes or sandals, and sun cream ### Kit list Swimsuit and a T-shirt or rash vest Water shoes, sandals or sports shoes that can get wet A spare set of dry clothes and a towel Sun cream, drinking water and a snack A long-sleeved shirt if the forecast is cool ## FAQs _No FAQs in catalog._ ## 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/2026/10/bab544b3-ef46-457e-b753-17ee77b1d43a.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## 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.
