Kravica waterfall, Trebizat river

“Water no good for drinking, water no good for washing, water only good for paddling” – this was a favorite saying of Mizza, the legendary canoeing guide and one of the founders of Riverfree. Of course, nothing was wrong with water quality but Mizza preferred beer. Paddling can be a way of life.

No wonder. The rivers of Croatia are great for touring. The ones we enjoy the most are not difficult and will thrill you with beauty rather than danger. Your day on the river will not be just paddling – swimming and playing in these warm waters is just as pleasant. We just never get enough sleep – when you sit late by the campfire after a day on the river, you don’t want to quit because then the magic would end.

For the best white water action you must come in Spring or early Summer when there is a lot of water. The falls in this waterfall country are easy to portage or safe to jump even when you are new to the sport. But the rapids – are you experienced? If not, make sure you get the guide that speaks your language.

We also know the rivers of Slovenia well and organize trips on Soca, Koritnica, Bohinjka… If you and your friends or club feel like we do, let us know. To come and enjoy our rivers is much easier than you think!
