Sava River Rafting
Huck Finn one day trip
If you want to explore Zagreb region from a different perspective, join us on a rafting trip on Sava River which flows through the Croatian capital city. In the past, the ferries connecting two sides of the river and floats were popular among the citizens of Zagreb region that were using them as an important mean of transport. Our goal is to keep this tradition alive. Sava rafting trip starts at a ferry crossing, with one of the rare ferries that is functional today. We will learn how the system works and start our rafting/floating trip down the Sava river. The finish point is a popular restaurant by the river, where you can taste local specialities and relax by the Sava river. This excursion is a mix of activity, nature and culture.
