Croatia Adventure Travel
Thursday, October 8th, 2009With its varied interior geography and its long Dalmatian coast, Croatia has some of the best adventure travel in Europe.
The best adventure travel in Croatia involves the Adriatic sea, which runs along Croatia’s west coast. Sailing vacations are popular for those wanting to try their hand at crewing a yacht. Motor boat and flotilla rentals in Croatia are also popular choices for adventure travel holidays.
Other water sports are also good choices for adventure travel in Croatia. With a range of sports including rafting, sea kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and more, adventure sports are hugely popular in Croatia.
Rock jumping is another popular seaside adventure travel activity in Croatia. High rock cliffs above deep water make for some adrenaline induced fun on the Dalmatian coast.
Further inland and on the islands, Croatia adventure travel can be found in the form of hiking and trekking. Just make sure to stay on well-marked paths, as some mountain areas of Croatia still have landmines from the war.
There’s also white water rafting to be done on the rivers in Croatia, making for another one of the best adventure travel opportunities the country has to offer.
