ISLAND - HOPPING BICYKLOM A ZRMANJA KANU SAFARI

Opis

On some departure dates we combine bicycle routes at the Kvarner Bay with a whole-day canoe trip to the Zrmanja canyon, near Obrovac. Canoe-safari is guided by experienced canoe guides - no special skills or experiences are required.

1st day

Boarding between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm in the port in Rijeka. Soon afterwards we will set sail in the direction of Malinska on the island of Krk. Here we will begin with the cycling: from Malinska we will ride through the villages of St. Anton, Nenadici and Vrha towards Krk, the capital of the like-named island. Dinner on board the boat and overnight stay in the port in Krk. (approximately 22 km cycling)

2nd day

Today we will sail from Krk to Lopar on the northern part of the island of Rab. By bicycle we will cross the entire island from the north towards south, through the villages of Supetarska draga, Kampora, Rab, Barbata and Pudarice to Misnjak. Our boat will be waiting for us in the town of Rab port, amidst the matchless scenery of the old town, with its four bell towers. Lunch can be had in local restaurants during our route or in the town of Rab. Dinner on boat and overnight stay in Rab port. (approximately 43,5 km)

3rd day

It is only a half an hour boat ride to Luna, the northernmost point of the neighbouring island of Pag. The island itself enchants the visitors by its contrasts - in some places it is barren like the surface of the Moon, and elsewhere it is rich in meadows of aromatic herbs where numerous sheep, whose milk is used in making the famous Pag cheese, graze. Next we will sail to Novalja, the biggest town of the northern part of the island, where you can lunch in one of its restaurants and taverns. We will continue through the village of Kolane to Mandre, where our boat will be waiting for us. Dinner and overnight stay in Mandre. (approximately 35 km)

4th day

After breakfast we will drive to the Zrmanja River, to get into our big canoes and ride the river down to the waterfall. If the water level is high, the trip will be changed to a rafting one. Around noon we will have a picnic and take a short swimming break - just imagine swimming underneath a waterfall in a crystal clear river... We will continue to paddle through the canyon of Zrmanja, known for its unique landscapes, quaint contours and bird population, following the bus ride to Zadar, where we will board our boat again. Dinner on the boat and overnight stay.

5th day

We'll have quite a bit of sailing to do today: approximately 4 hours from Zadar to the town of Mali Losinj on the island of Losinj. Along the way we'll drop anchor in a cove on one of the smaller islands south of Losinj to have lunch. Upon arrival to Mali Losinj port, we will unload our bicycles again to meet the island's unique lush nature and spacious pine forests. We will drive along the sea and around Cikat bay, past the Sunny Bay and to the picturesque marine town of Veli Losinj. You can have dinner in one of the many restaurants in Mali Losinj. Overnight stay in Mali Losinj. (approximately 21,5 km)

6th day

The "2 islands" day! After breakfast we will hop on our bicycles and ride from Mali Losinj through Nerezine to Osor, where the islands of Cres and Losinj are connected by a moving bridge. Through villages of Belej and Stivan we will arrive to Martinscica bay. We will then load our bicycles and the boat will take us to the town of Cres, the capital town of the island. We can have lunch during the tour of Cres, while dinner is on board of our boat. We will spend the night in the port of Cres (approximately 46 km).

7th day

Our final stage will take us from the town of Cres 14 km north to the village of Predoscice and back. Following our return to Cres, we will have lunch and load our bicycles on the boat. We will then depart from the port in Cres and on the way back to Rijeka take one last swimming break in one of the coves in the northern part of the island (approximately 28 km).

8th day

Departure after breakfast until 9 am.
