A Kupa River boat tour unveils Croatia’s rich and dramatic history. Glittering tradition, lush sceeneries and endless scenic splendor line the river banks. Along this scenic river, Croatia became free, and villages that once lay in rubble now stand tall. With much of this breathtaking river, it is a truly inspirational waterway. Enjoy the River boat tour while becoming a part of an untouched nature sailing in a unique traditional boat Žitna lađa and sail into the past as a river sailor from the 18th Century. Nurse a glass of wine from nearby vineyards and enjoy the delights from local farms while gazing at the open horizon of beautiful green Kupa riverbed. Discover its secrets as our expert interpretors take you from the ancient times and the otoman invasions to the golden period of Karlovac and beyond. The journey is followed by a rare whitetaled eagle with wingspan of 1,8 meters being our common fearless guest, but also beautiful blue king fisher and other birds, beavers or otters. You can try to navigate the boat with the assistance of our captain and take picture with a captain's hat.

This was a great trip in spite of less than perfect weather. Our driver/guide was excellent at explaining history and showing us around and through the park. He was very flexible and willing to cater the tour/day to our needs or wants. When we arrived in Split, he did not leave until he knew we were at the correct hotel. The park is gorgeous and the waterfalls are amazing. We definitely recommend a visit

Even with the changes in weather conditions, we were able to do what was planned.We were thankful to our guide, Robi was kind enough to provide us with raincoats, which are needed when you reach the falls. But they came in handy when the rain poured.

My driver/guide Ned was great. I had good conversations with him along the way. He provided valuable information of best photo spots and he took nice photos of me as well.
