Active seniors can also enjoy active holidays, take part in kayaking or swimming as anyone else. These multi-activity holidays can be adapted to all generations as long as you have a good level of fitness and sense for adventure.

What about children?

Well, this is Croatia and gulet cruises are safe for too. However, all children, especially young ones should be monitored by their parents. If you want to relax some more there is also an option of renting a babysitter on board that will help you out with the kids. Some watersports tend to be for older children,(+8 years old), but there are also some things for the youngest ones to have fun and explore. Teenagers can enjoy and see activities as much as adults, but with the permission of their parents and some guidance.

Various water activities can be adapted to all generations

These adventures are all about exploration, fun & relaxation. You can embrace nature, indulge in great food, enjoy the culture and stay active during your cruise. Since Croatia is like we said, a true coastal paradise, naturally there are many activities that are water-based, from sea kayaking to windsurfing. All gulets are usually equipped with watersports too, so you can stay active at any place and time during your cruise.

Gulets usually have kayaks, paddleboards, jetski, and snorkelers. The best place to enjoy in waterbased activities are on the beautiful island of Vis or paddling around the Kornati Islands. However, there are exciting water activities inland too, with the Rivers Cetina and Mrežnica both favorite among water kayaking and rafting lovers. 

Thousands of years the Cetina River has been flowing persistently through the canyon, creating magical shapes in its bed ideal for adventurous rafting. Crystal clear and pleasant for swimming after instructors you will be provided a life-jacket, a helmet, long pants, and a jacket.

Best place for kayaking is around island Brač and Kornati island. Those areas are best explored from water.

You can also visit Plitvice Lakes National Park or Krka and enjoy preserved nature, and endless waterfalls where you can even swim! 

Fun land activities can be adapted to all generations 

Because active holidays can be adapted to anyone, there are also many fun land activities you can enjoy.

Bike

Croatia is a perfect place for hiking or biking into some of the islands’ forests or limestone valleys of national parks or surrounding mountains.
