Thank you much to Danijela, Ferdo and Joseph. We had a wonderful day climbing with you all. You planned the day just as we had imagined and picked great routes for us. It was loads of fun, though my toes did not thank you the next day! X

I chose the intermediate rock climbing trip with Danijela at Paklenica National Park. Without a doubt, it was the highlight of my entire trip throughout Croatia. I strongly recommend Danijela (and her assistant Ferdo) to anyone looking for a guided rock climbing experience. First, the instructions are clear on where and when to meet the guides. The trip started at 7am to beat the heat and the crowds. We stayed in nearby Zadar, which is about an hour away. Buses don\'t arrive that early, so . Uber is your cheapest option (unless you rent a car yourself). We had some trouble getting there, but Danijela was flexible with the time, which was sincerely appreciated. Second, the actual climbing is incredible. Danijela assessed my climbing ability and tailor-made a climbing experience suited to my abilities. I was challenged, which was exactly what I wanted. My only regret is that I did not book a longer trip, or perhaps a couple of days with the guides. They are incredibly experienced, and they gave me helpful climbing tips that I never learned climbing at my local crag. Without a doubt, they made me a better climber in the short time I was with them. Also, these guides are so knowledgeable and experienced that I never once felt unsafe. I always felt that no matter the route, they had me on belay, and my life was secure. The gear was also top quality. I have never had such a feeling of trust while climbing, and I just met them! Third, the guides are simply amazing people. We had great conversations the entire time, and they were friendly, funny, and caring. After the experience was over, they took us to a famous restaurant near the park. We were in a hurry to catch a bus (which they showed us exactly where the bus station was and when the bus would arrive), and they got the restaurant staff to serve us fast to make sure we would not miss our bus. Look no further!! BOOK THIS TRIP NOW! I cannot wait for the next opportunity I have to be in Croatia, as I already cannot wait to book another trip with them.

I couldn\'t have asked for a better experience! Danijella and Fredo were both extremely knowledgeable and pushed me to be a better climber. Highly recommend an afternoon on the mountain with them.

So much fun, the highlight of my month in Croatia! I did two days with this company, 1 day rock climbing and 1 day hiking in Paklenica. Danijela and Ferdo were great guides, they tailored both days according to my experience/skill and what I wanted to see/do. They were really great company and provided lots of information about Paklenica national park and taught me about Croatian culture and history. During the rock climbing they provided advice on how to improve my technique. Danijela maintained great contact in the few days leading up to the activities (in case the weather turned bad and we would be unable to proceed or have to change routes). Additionally they helped organise lunch at one of the mountain huts during - I didn\'t even know this was an option and would have no idea how to do this without their help. The experience itself was heaps of fun, the hike had great views and the rock climbing I was able to push myself in an outdoor terrain, a step up from indoor rock climbing. As a solo traveller it was good to know that I was with two skilled professionals incase something happened during the hike/climb. Overall a fantastic experience, I will definitely go back if I return to Croatia.

Daniela and Ferdo very nice guide.I think I will return next year! They transported me from the camp to the canyon. It was very safe and interesting climbing. climbed 8 routes in 4 hours bellow. Thank you so much everything.

Our guides Danijela and Ferdo were fantastic! We learned a lot of great tips from them on climbing technique. They always kept safety first and were a lot of fun. We couldn\'t have asked for better guides and would highly recommend them to anyone. Climbing in the park was awesome.

We only have really glowing things to say about the trip and our guides. They were a lot of fun, and extremely knowledgeable. They adjusted the plan as we went to pick routes we\'d like the best and had great feedback on continuing improvement.

With so many 5 star ratings, it shouldn\'t be a surprise that we also had a wonderful time on an intermediate rock climbing trip. Our 2 guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They adjusted our schedule to hit the routes we\'d most enjoy, and gave great tips for building our skills. I would say this is as good as your friend taking you climbing, but your friend won\'t carry your gear or set your routes,so it\'s even better.

Paklencia is a beautiful area to climb and Danijela was very knowledgeable and fun to climb with. I would definitely come back again!

Danijela and Ferdo took me and my friend out climbing in the beautiful national park. They were fantastic instructors, really encouraging, knowledgable and fun! They also managed to suggest climbs that were perfect for the mix of never-climbed-before and only-indoor-bouldered-before abilities of my friend and I. Great price, too. Can’t recommend enough!

It was really fun climbing with Danijela and Ferdo, we really had a great time! They are super friendly and great teachers! We really enjoyed these two mornings with you guys!

Excellent climbing session with friendly, experienced guides who were enthusiastic and encouraging. Paklenica national park is beautiful and well worth a visit. We will be back!

We had such an incredible time - the guides were fantastic. The setting was perfect and we learnt loads. It was such a good decision to go with guides so knowledgeable, we felt like real locals by the end! We also had such a laugh with them and are actually planning to go back and hire them as guides again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :)

Danijela is an excellent guide and able to tailor your hike to your ability. We learned much about the park and Croatia during our time. She coordinated transportation from our ship and returned us with enough time for a short walk thru Zadar.

Had a fantastic time on this trip. Great guides who really focused on what I wanted to get out of the day and were super safety conscious. Would absolutely recommend and will probably return to do more climbing with Danijela and her team.

If you are considering climbing in Croatia, do yourself a favour and book in with Danijela and Ferdo. No matter what level you are, they are the most amazing instructors, and nicest people you will ever meet. Id go as far as to say that climbing with them was the highlight of our holiday, so much so that we were looking at plane tickets to visit again before we\'d even got home. They have a level of professionalism i was super impressed with, and you felt safe with them at all times. They are incredibly genuine, and talented and passionate. You really can tell the difference when someone is passionate about what they do. For Danijela and Ferdo, the mountain is their home. They know it like the back of their hands, they respect it and everyone that visits, and then filled us with such awe and wonder, telling us all the tales of the mountain and the people who lived there, of the first climbers, and the famous climbers restaurant cafe where we got a bite to eat afterwards. They are so accommodating- me and my partner had an uber ride from hell in which a 40 minute ride became a 3 hour drive through the mountain. We were over 2 hours late, and I was panicky, messaging and apologizing, and they kept reassuring me it was fine and they waited til we got there, gave the taxi driver a talking to, and even stayed a little later to ensure we had a full experience, and drive us to the bus stop that would get us home afterwards. 100000% recommend them, and 10/10. Both me and my partner couldn\'t stop smiling.

We took the 4 hours intermediate class with Daniela and Ferdo. Thanks to their tups and tricks, we made a lot of progres during this class and we really enjoyed it. This agency is really good and their English is very well. We really recommend this activity to everyone (even if you have no climbing experience) who wants to do something unique in Paklenica National Parc.

The staff was very friendly and extremely professional. The instructors are not only passionate outdoor specialists but also provide excellent instruction for every level of climber. My wife and I are extremely happy with the guided outdoor climbing tour and recommend everyone with different level of skills to try their 2 hour class.

Wir waren 4 Stunden lang zusammen mit Danijela und Fredo im Paklenica Park klettern. Dabei haben wir uns an vielen einfachen und ein paar schwierigeren Routen im Toprope und Vorstieg ausprobiert. Die beiden können perfekt Englisch, was die Kommunikation sehr einfach machte. Danijela und Fredo waren nicht nur sehr professionell in ihrem Verständnis und der Kommunikation der sicherheitsrelevanten Aspekte, sondern darüber hinaus sehr sympathisch. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag mit super Routen und interessanten Gesprächen. Wir waren zuvor nur in der Halle klettern, hatten aber schon Grundlagenwissen. Nach dem Klettertag mit Danijela und Fredo haben wir uns sicher gefühlt, den Rest der Woche ohne Instructor im Paklenica Park zu klettern!

Danijela was the best! From the part where we only where interested, to the part where she drove us \'home\' in our own car she was full of passion, enthousiasm - she is very responsible and knowledgeable - we would highly recommend her as a reliable guide, if you visit Paklenica.
