You will have a great time in nature, even if the water is not warm enough to swim in. This tour is calmer than our "Rafting/Kayaking Adventure on Kupa River" and you can easily participate without former experience. A professional guide will accompany you to the start and he/she will give you all necessary instructions and training in basic paddling skills before sending you off.  There are 7 old water dams with rapids on each, which are manageable for you by yourself and make for good excitement. You may paddle the parts in between the rapids in whatever pace you like. Take breaks for picnic, swimming, refreshing yourself at freshwater springs or in waterfalls. In the end of the trip, we wait for you at the shore, help you with the equipment and with changing into dry clothes and then transfer you up a short way back to the meeting point. It's easy to get to this tour, if you are staying in the Kvarner bay area with its islands, Istria or the Zagreb area. "Light Family Rafting"-Option If you like, you can paddle down the river in a raft for 4-8 people. If you have small children, you can fit up to 10 people. If you are a group of big guys, 6 people is the maximum. Float down the river, all in one boat, enjoy nature and share the task of paddling. This is the chill-trip, not the adrenaline version! No need for a guide to steer the raft, you can do it yourself. If the raft gets stuck on some rocks, you simple have everyone get out and go for a swim, while someone push the boat back into deeper water. The Family Raft comes with a cooler box for your drinks and sandwiches. You can bring a water-proof radio/bluetooth box for your own music, if you like. This is another great way to enjoy the beautiful Kupa Valley! If you would like to take a raft, please let us know when you book the tour.
