The essentials

Sunturist runs one option here: an 8-hour guided canoraft excursion on the Zrmanja River, priced at 80 €. The trip is rated "Occasionally sporty", making it accessible to first-timers while still delivering real current and rapids. Guides speak English and Croatian, so communication isn't an issue. Book directly at the Sunturist meeting point in Novalja and confirm availability early in the season, as Zrmanja water levels are highest from May through July.

Frequently asked questions

How intense is the Zrmanja River canoraft experience?
The physical level is rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning there are active paddling sections and real rapids, but no extreme whitewater. Expect bursts of effort followed by calmer stretches through canyon scenery.
What's the most adrenaline-packed moment of the trip?
The Zrmanja River cuts through dramatic limestone gorges, and the strongest rapids hit without much warning. Those short, fast drops through narrow canyon sections are where most participants feel the biggest rush.
Is prior rafting or canoeing experience required?
No prior experience is needed. The "Occasionally sporty" rating means the excursion is designed for motivated beginners, and guides from Sunturist handle all safety briefings on-site.
When is the best time to go for maximum water flow?
May through July offers the highest water levels on the Zrmanja, which translates directly to faster currents and more intense rapids. Later in the season, flows drop and the experience becomes more relaxed.
