About This Activity
Korana River rafting offers an exhilarating way to experience the waterways that flow from Plitvice Lakes National Park. The Korana River, which emerges directly from the park's lake system, winds through a stunning canyon of lush greenery and dramatic rock formations, making it one of Croatia's most scenic rafting destinations.
The rafting experience is suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers, with water conditions varying by season. The best conditions for white-water rafting typically occur in spring (before May) and autumn (after September) when water levels are highest. During summer months, the river offers a gentler, more relaxing float perfect for families.
Several adventure tour operators in the Plitvice area offer guided rafting trips on the Korana, providing all necessary equipment including rafts, paddles, helmets, and life jackets. Tours typically depart from locations near the village of Drežnik Grad or the Korana camping area, both within easy reach of the national park.
Rafting on the Korana can be combined with other adventure activities in the region, including kayaking, cycling, and hiking, making it an excellent addition to any active holiday near Plitvice Lakes.
