Personalised and flexible, the Manawa gift card is the ideal gift!
Beyond the main tourist attractions, hidden in a rural area, between Rastoke village and Plitvice Lakes National Park is the Mreznica River. In the canyon, dense forest covers the area, surrounded by cliffs where you can reach the waterfalls only by kayak. The source of the river is only 12 km (7.5 mi) upstream from civilization but it brings clean drinkable water. Surrounded by untouched nature, the easy rapids and calm waterfalls put this river on the world map, marking it the most beautiful river in Europe. Its local name is actually “The waterfall playground”.
During this activity, we make several stops which will give you the chance to jump off waterfalls from 1-8 meters (26 ft)! For the less adventurous ones, you can swim behind the waterfalls, kayak over them, paddle behind them – the choice is yours. Somewhere halfway, we will make a short picnic break so we definitely recommend bringing sandwiches or snacks, followed by swimming in the emerald green water.

Big fun. With the kayak you jump of small waterfalls and go along with rapids. You can jump of huge waterfalls (7m), but that’s optional, making it a great combined family activity (you can bring fathers that don’t dare do jump :))

We loved our kayak trip!
The waterfalls where a nice thrill. And the jumping optional for anyone searching for bigger thrills.

I was scared at forehand for the waterfalls, but the guide explained everything clearly and made it all feel super safe. Really enjoyed the experience and lovely nature!
