Do I need to stay in Bihać?

It helps. Park put-ins have times. A same-day drive from Sarajevo for a raft is a very long day and a good way to miss the slot.

Can children raft the Una?

On some sections, when the operator says so, with weight and age limits on the listing. Not on high water. Never assume a waterfall photo means a family run.

Is kayaking the same as the raft trip?

No. Rafts take mixed groups on commercial stretches. Kayaking is more about your skill and the section. Read the sport tag.

What else is there besides the river?

Park walks and the town. The Una is still the reason to be here. If you want big peaks, that's Sutjeska or Prenj.

Things to do in Bihać & Una National Park

Bihać is the Una town. The national park is why you came: Štrbački Buk, forest canyon, and water you can actually paddle. Stay here for the river, not as a box-tick on a Sarajevo city break. Park timings and water levels run the day more than your hotel breakfast does.

Park rafting and kayak sections

Operators split the river into pieces. Some are friendly raft trips with a swim-or-float feel in the right water. Others are proper kayak water. Štrbački Buk is a highlight and also a place to listen to the guide. Martin Brod is another park node, not a second Bihać.
