So, what shouldn’t you miss for anything in the world? Here are a few suggestions for your family bucket list:

Dive in the amazing underwater world

Explore the underwater world around the islands of Zadar archipelago by going scuba diving! Beginners can learn to dive at Zaton Holiday Resort, or simply take a mask and a snorkel on the surface.

Say ‘yes’ to water adventure

Get an adrenaline kick with water sports and fun! Go parasailing for a great view of Zadar Channel, up in the sky. Give water skiing a try or go on a banana ride! Rent a jet ski for the excitement and a different view of the coast.

Fly over Zadar region

Appreciate the magic of Kornati islands, heart-shaped Galešnjak island, other islets and islands of Zadar archipelago as well as the beautiful villages and towns on the coast by taking a panoramic flight. For an extra adrenaline, why not also try (tandem) skydiving?

Witness the amazing interplay between nature and man-made art

Take an evening stroll on the promenade in Zadar! Have a family moment to remember as you listen to the unique sound of the Sea Organ and watch the amazing light show as displayed by the Greetings to the Sun, with the sunset as the most perfect background.

Conquer Paklenica National Park

Challenge your family members to reach mountain tops in Paklenica National Park with a several hours hike. Or choose a shorter route and explore Manita peć cave. Why not also try rock climbing for a truly unique experience? After all, there are climbing tours available, which even preschool children can do.

Explore Krka National Park

Go for a swim under the waterfall Skradinski buk or Roški slap and witness the extraordinary force of nature all around you. Then find some peace and quiet by visiting the Franciscan monastery on Visovac island. Because Krka will take your breath away.

Paddle down Zrmanja river

Hop in a canoe and go down Zrmanja! Let the river take you through its amazing canyon and admire the beautiful nature all around. For even more adventure, go rafting in spring or autumn when the river is a bit rougher and more challenging to master. 

Cycle to get to know the region

Go on a family trip of discovery by bike! Pick one of the many available cycling routes, both on and off road, according to the abilities of your family members. Go island hopping on Ugljan and Pašman and explore towns on the coast and in the hinterland, such as Nin, Novigrad and Benkovac.

Visit adventure parks
