Krk Tours: 15 Days Worth the Detour

1.Krk Island: Ziplining Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 522 reviews · 2 hours · from $88Our pick

Start near the Glagolitic Alley monument, collect your harness and helmet, then ride by jeep to the course. Two instructors teach you the monkey style on a short practice line before eight ziplines, including a 700-meter run. Guides speak Croatian, English, German, and Slovenian. Small groups are limited to 10 people.

“We really enjoyed our zip line tour. Great activity to do with my young adult teenage sons. The guides were fun & informative, & chatty on other subjects. My sons found them engaging as did I. The views were impressive & the lines exhilarating. Only 4 stars as tour wasn’t as long as it said it would take. (We were obviously just very efficient ! 😀) and it is quite a lot of money for 3 people. Would recommend as something different to do and Krk was a great island to visit.”

2.Baška: Rab Island and Zavratnica Fjord Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 118 reviews · from $94

Join a multilingual crew in Baška for a long Adriatic day covering nearly 120 kilometers. You’ll pass the former prison islands of Grgur and Goli, explore ancient Rab, enjoy a hotel buffet, and swim above a World War II shipwreck in Zavratnica Fjord. The boat has covered seating, though busy departures may feel crowded.

“Nel suo genere di gita potenzialmente affollata, l'organizzazione è curata, la sequenza delle visite pensate con cura e tempi rilassati, nonostante la necessità di tradurre tutto in quattro lingue, permettendo anche due ore per il bagno in un piccolo fiordo molto bello. Al rientro la sorpresa dei delfini ha convinto ad una piccola, graditissima deviazione. Il pranzo a buffet in un ottimo posto era assolutamente adeguato (ma le bevande, a parte, molto costose). Le guide a bordo e a terra molto gentili e preparare. Quello che non mi è piaciuto è la musica, continua e ad alto volume, anche nelle zone in cui si cercava di avvicinarsi alla fauna.Read more”

A few in our group can get motion sickness in rough waters but they also wanted to experience Croatia by boat. Bobo navigated along the coastline to avoid larger waves even as the Bura winds picked up. He found numerous protected coves for our group to explore, swim, and snorkel. The kids, adults, and grandparents all loved it.”
