Istria is the largest Croatian peninsula located in the northern part of the Adriatic. The crystal-clear sea and the mild Mediterranean climate make Istria perfect for outdoor activities and many adventurous undertakings.

The indented coastline and romantic towns irresistibly reminding you of Provence and Tuscany impress the visitors equally as the forested and mountainous inland. The most beautiful parts of Istria can only be discovered with off-road quad biking or while kayaking - and we’re taking you to experience both! This partially self-drive tour features some hard-to-reach places, but only with the trails less taken will you reach the beautiful viewpoints such as the one overlooking the Raša bay. Istria is a place that will delight you with its beauty, stories, spirit and charm, and it offers adventures and experiences you will never forget.

Adventure park you will visit won many awards, among which are “Certificate of Excellence” by Tripadvisor, and the certificate of the European Ropes Course Association with very high safety standards. 

Moreover, according to Tripadvisor, the park was elected the best tourist attraction in Istria in 2013., 2014. and 2015.

The adventure park also has an animal park with goats, sheep, rabbits, and cats and dogs where you can relax and have fun.

Devil’s Bridge you will visit is an enormous valley-crossing suspension bridge consisting of 4 zip lines, a long skateboard trail, three bridges and a top 35-meter monocycle ride 12 meters above ground. One zip line will make you fly 120 meters in length at 20 meters in height!

If you are into exploring local cuisine, we recommend a visit to one of the local Istrian taverns where you can enjoy the Istrian specialities of top quality. Choose between seafood delights, asparagus meals or truffles delicacies, with rosemary, bay leaf, basil and thyme. Round these with the famous Istrian wines - authentic Malvasia, aromatic Momjan Muskat, or ruby red Terrano. Bon appétit!
