Have questions?
Anyone in reasonable health and fitness can go rafting. This does not mean one has to be in a great fitness shape. The minimum age for a child on a Class II/III is 8 years. There is no maximum age although anyone over 60 should be in good health and perhaps consult with a physician if you have any concerns. If you are pregnant we do not suggest rafting trip.
All Talvi tours guests must wear our Personal Flotation Devices (aka PFDs or life jackets). Should you fall out of your raft, the PFD is designed to float you face up in the water. Before you get into your kayak, however, our guides will give a detailed safety talk and show you how to properly “swim” a rapid so even if you are not a swimmer and you pay attention to safety instructions and procedure, you should be fine.

El tour de los lagos de Plitvice merece totalmente la pena aunque lamentablemente en agosto hay mucha gente. Nuestro guía Ivan hizo todo el tour muy ameno y divertido. Lo recomiendo!

Belle visite des lacs de Plitivice, très bien organisé depuis Zadar. Notre guide Bojan était hyper intéressant en donnant bcp d'infos à la fois sur l'histoire de son pays et sur les lacs en eux-mêmes. La visite s'effectue en sens 'inverse' de celui normalement prévu, comme cela on évite le gros de la foule. Je recommande mais attention, en été les lacs sont pris d'assaut.
