Welcome!

This tour is all about beautiful nature of Croatia. It is called Green and Blue Croatia simply because that’s what it is. Green, because the first part of the trip is taking a place in a continental part of the country where everything is surrounded by green grass, forests and beautiful rivers and creaks. Blue, because you spend the second part of the trip on a Croatian coast and you will be looking at the beautiful blue Adriatic every day.
This is a multi-sport trip which includes fun activities at scenic places. River kayaking or rafting, cycling, hiking or sailing, you name it!
With this program, we will introduce you to some unknown parts of Croatia with its own highlights. You will still see 4 of 8 National Parks in Croatia, 1 UNESCO site, Velebit Nature Park and more. If you would like to know Croatia from a different angle and you like to be active, this is your trip! This trip is suitable for all ages, and previous experience is not required.
