Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 - Friday: Arrival in Zagreb.

A Huck Finn representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to the hotel in the city center. Use the day to explore Zagreb. Discover "the Green Horseshoe" - a series of parks at the very heart of the city, including the botanical garden, lined with stylish buildings dating back to the 1900. Make sure you don't miss the walk in the Upper Town, the oldest part of the city. The city gets busy on Friday night - numerous bars and cafes around the center are ideal for people watching and feeling the city beat.
Accommodation: Hotel in the center of Zagreb.

Day 2 - Saturday: Mreznica River kayaking or rafting

The inhabitants of Zagreb are lucky enough to have a river as gorgeous and clear as the Mreznica so close to the city. It is home to many endangered and protected plant and animal species that you may get a chance to observe. After a short introduction to paddling, we push off for an afternoon of refreshing fun on the clear, warm, emerald waters of this river. The day will be filled with swimming, jumping off the waterfalls and enjoying beautiful nature. Return to Zagreb in the afternoon.
