Description

Along with the sense of exploration that comes with hiking, scrambling adds an even more thrilling aspect to it. And on this full day trip through the Velika Paklenica canyon in the Paklenica national park in Croatia, I would like to take you scrambling through several beautiful areas.

During this tour you will get to visit, explore and climb the Anica Kuk (712m). This amazing and famous rock is the largest rock on the Velebit mountain. Surrounded by vibrant green meadows and crystal clear natural spring water, Anica Kuk is a fantastic highlight on this trip. We will scramble our way to the top, and while the ascent will be tough at times, the rewards are well worth it because from at the top you will be granted magnificent views of the coast, as well as some great nearby peaks.

Scrambling is a unique way to explore an area. It involves trekking through an exposed walking route. Hence giving you a sense of excitement that you may not get on a traditional hiking route. However, because of the nature of scrambling, it is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition and have prior scrambling experience.

If you are looking for a unique, challenging and thrilling way to explore the beautiful Velika Paklenica canyon, this is the trip for you. I have no doubt you will have an amazing experience. So send me a request and let the fun begin.

Amazing experience. My daughter stated it was the best day of her 2 week holiday. That says it all really. Danijela and her partner were extremely professional and very friendly and helpful.

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.

Tuvimos un maravilloso día de escalada con Danijela y Ferdo. Nos cuidaron de nosotros, así que pudimos aprender mucho y disfrutar realmente de la Paklenica Cañón. Cualquiera que quiera visitar la zona y quieres hacer algo especial deben contactar Danjela. Sin duda volveremos :-)

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.
