Multi activity tour of Croatian rivers, parks and sea
8 days/7 nights Huck Finn Adventure Travel program 2010
Novigrad is a small fishermen village situated deep in Novigrad Sea. The village has managed to preserve its authentic traditional architecture, untouched by modern tourism. It is scattered along the coastline under well preserved 13th century fortress – Fortica. Inside its walls Croatian – Hungarian queen Elizabeth was imprisoned and died in 1387. The Novigrad bay area is surrounded by national parks and nature reserves: Kornati Islands, Krka River, Paklenica Canyon, Plitvice Lakes, Velebit Mountain, Telascica Bay, Vrana Lake. The morning fishermen’s market and quiet village atmosphere are perfect for guests who want to get away from big summer crowds yet feel good in friendly atmosphere. It is absolutely not a typical tourist-hotel resort.
Canoeing, kayaking and sea kayaking are included in program as everyday activities and are suitable for all ages. The sea and rivers are friendly – they have pleasant temperatures in summer and they are not dangerous or physically demanding.

Accommodation is provided in a newly renovated apart-hotel “Castrum Novum” situated right on the beach, at the quiet end of the village. All apartments are air conditioned, with shower/toilet, telephone/Internet line, fully equipped kitchen and satellite TV. It’s pleasant cafe and restaurant terrace gives memorable views of the sunset over the bay and Velebit Mountain peaks. The wellness, fitness and sauna center is open, charge free for the guests of this activity program. Hotel also provides a billiard room/game room for our group meetings and planning of our next day destination.

ITINERARY

Day 1 - Sat: After arriving to Novigrad and settling into your accommodation, join other group members for an informal welcome drink and evening snack.


Day 2 - Sun: This day is all about exploring hidden places of Novigrad Bay in our sea kayak. We will head towards Maslenica Bridge once we reach the representable red construction that was destroyed during the war in Croatia; we challenge ourselves to find the most beautiful little town of Vinjerac.


Day 3 - Mon: Hiking in Paklenica National Park, a mountain well known for mountaineering, free climbing, caves and mountain streams. The name Paklenica probably derives from black pine sap called “paklina”, which the locals used in traditional medicine, for wound treatment, for light and for coating of wooden boats. Hiking is the only way to really get to know Paklenica.

Day 4 - Tue: We head out for canoeing down the magnificent wild-west-like canyons of the Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers. Enjoy easy rapids, swimming in crystal clear waters and a shower under the waterfalls. If the water level is high (usually in spring and early summer) it will be a rafting trip.

Day 5 - Wed: We start our day with sea kayaking instruction on the beach just in front of the hotel and take a trip into the Zrmanja River canyon. Swimming and picnic by the waterfall, jumping off cliffs and a coffee stop in Obrovac, the only town in the canyon.


Day 6 - Thu: A sea kayaking, snorkelling and swimming trip to the romantic Vrgada Island, near the Kornati Islands National Park. You won’t encounter cars nor hotels, only pure nature with lovely coves and the most beautiful beach in the area. In the evening we shall visit Zadar, ancient town with lively Mediterranean night life.

Day 7 - Fri: A day to be spent at leisure in the village, or as an alternative, taking an optional trip of hiking, walking or swimming in the surrounding area.


Day 8 - Sat: Depart Novigrad for the airport and flight home.
