Tour Overview

Welcome to Rab, a premier destination for sea kayaking adventures in Croatia, offering a diverse coastline perfect for paddlers of all skill levels.

Picture yourself exploring the western side of Rab Island, where lush greenery meets the azure waters of the Adriatic. Hidden beaches tucked between rocky capes and sandy coves await your discovery, surrounded by evergreen Holm Oak forests.

On the northeastern side, soft sandy beaches are ideal for sunbathing under pine trees. Meanwhile, the eastern side features rugged cliffs and captivating caves, including one with an exciting jump-and-dive experience through an underwater tunnel. Explore the Geo Park Rab for an unforgettable adventure.

In addition to Rab, we'll circumnavigate the largest uninhabited island in the Adriatic: Prvić Island—a protected botanical and ornithological reserve.

We'll also venture to two more "notorious" islands, infamous for their dark history as political prisons until the end of the 1980s. Goli Otok, translated as the "Naked Island," lives up to its name with sparse vegetation, save for the pine trees planted by prisoners among the buildings and workshops. Meanwhile, its neighboring island, Grgur, is cloaked in evergreen holm oak forest, with one section serving as a political prison for females. Despite their troubled past, these islands boast stunning beauty, with emerald coastlines, towering cliffs, and bunkers perched atop their peaks.

To conclude our tour, we'll visit the quaint village of Jablanac and the nearby miniature fjord of Zavratnica, nestled in the Velebit Nature Park. Here, we'll delight in a refreshing swim beneath the towering canyon walls and explore the turquoise waters, snorkeling around the sunken boat from World War II.

Our itinerary offers a rough outline of our sea kayak adventure along Croatia's stunning coastline. Please note, that plans are flexible and subject to adjustments due to local weather and unforeseen circumstances. Safety and enjoyment come first, so we adapt to changes in wind and waves. Our experienced guides prioritize your experience, making necessary alterations for a memorable journey. While we've planned each day meticulously, expect exciting detours and spontaneous discoveries.
