Biking
Enthusiasts of two-wheel travel may move at a slower speed than their motorised counterparts, but their experience of the environment involves all senses - the fragrances of meadows and the freshness of waterfalls, singing of birds, and the wonderful taste of spring water. Village roads, forest tracks, paths through meadows and vineyards take them to places not to be found on the maps of the usual tourist sightseeing tours.
Your bicycle can also take you to the islands which, come the hot days of summer, may not be quite so green, but the blue of the surrounding sea more than compensates for it. The shipping lines between the islands run on a regular daily basis, and the cost of transporting your bicycle is minimal.

Diving
Undoubtedly the most attractive diving locations in the Adriatic are underwater cliff faces and reefs, caves and the wrecks of ships and aeroplanes. The Croatian land mass ranks among the most specific in the world: Dalmatia itself lies on karst, full of crevices, caves, sink holes and channels. Based on the number of caves so far discovered on land it is estimated that there are at least 1500 underwater caves and holes still undiscovered in the Adriatic. In addition to plant and animal species endemic to the Adriatic, which are a highly sought-after target for photo and video safaris, the most attractive locations are those which conceal traces of times gone by: archaeological localities and underwater wrecks.

Climbing
Parachuting, paragliding or balloon flights over an incredibly diverse landscape in good weather conditions continue to attract an ever increasing number of flying enthusiasts to Croatia. The mountains that run down the length of the coast are simply tailor-made for cross-country flights, for spending hours in the air, with vistas of the coast, the sea and the islands - an unadulterated adventure voyage under the power of the wind!



Rafting
Rafting as a mode of transport up and down waterways also has a long tradition in Croatia. However, white-water rafting as a modern form of adventure began only in the late 1980s, and served to attract notice to the amazing beauty of Croatian rivers, which up until that time was known only to relatively few kayaking adventurers and fishermen. The founders of the Riverfree Club, pioneers of commercial trips through the rivers and experts on the waterways of Croatia, did not anticipate the subsequent level of interest and the resulting popularity of rafting on rivers which do not abound with savage rapids and high waves.

Paintball
It took only twenty years for paintball to become one of the extreme sports that people most often do in nature. Being based on adrenaline and fun it sets people free of their everyday obligations and revives the adventurer’s spirit. In this sport men and women are equals, and youth is not a prerequisite. In order to win, it is important to think, to be strong-willed, and to be able to react quickly.


Sailing
Nautical tourism is one of the most attractive tourist products in the overall tourist offer of the Republic of Croatia. With every right we may say that Croatia, the land of thousand islands and beautiful indented coastline, is a true “nautical paradise”. In the Republic of Croatia there are over 140 charter companies, which offer 2700 comfortable and well-equipped boats. They are united in Grupacija iznajmitelja plovila (charter) Hrvatske (The Association of Croatian Charters). The largest charter companies in the world, through the domestic charter companies, also offer their boats in the Adriatic.

Big Game Fishing
Experience the true spirit of the sea and the adventure that will remain in your memory forever. Visit the most attractive locations in the Adriatic, enjoy the unique sea surroundings, and, of course, try your luck in fighting the largest fish of the Adriatic Sea.




Wellness
Since the wellness, or in other words, Spa philosophy represents a total approach to a person, the best results are achieved if a specific treatment is combined with a holiday, because going for a massage or sauna after a long day at work only provides partial physical relief. This is why we advise you to opt for a wellness package rather than just a single wellness product. Everyone should choose according to their means and availability and take time out for themselves. By doing so you will be giving your spirit, soul and body the best possible gifts - balance and harmony.


Naturism
Its long tradition and hospitable population have made this country a favourite of naturists, known lovers of nature and its most loyal protectors, today as in years before. Croatia can really boast of natural beauty. Eight national parks (Brijuni, Kornati and Mljet on the coast and the Plitvice Lakes, Krka, Paklenica, Risnjak and Northern Velebit inland) and almost 10% of its territory environmentally protected, a rich cultural heritage, developed tourist infrastructure, hospitable people and accessibility are major, but not the only, aces of tourism in Croatia.

Climbing
Climbing in the karst has a lot in common with being in the high mountains. The sharp karst shapes, the domination of bare karst, the lack of water, poverty of vegetation, harsh climate and sparse population require the same efforts from the climber as many much higher mountains. But there are also differences among the Dinaric mountains. Those in the north are lower and milder (in Gorski kotar, for example) and those in the south are higher and more deserted (the Dalmatian mountains).

Kornati
The local people say that after He had created the world, God was left with some white rocks.
He threw them into the sea, took a glance at the outcome, was satisfied and decided that no improvement was needed. In this way he created the Kornati Islands. Come and convince yourself that this is not merely a legend!
