Adventure tourism is defined as exploration or travel with perceived (and possibly actual) risk, potentially requiring specialized skills and physical exertion. This type of tourism can include anything from kayaking to canyoning, mountain climbing to white water rafting, and essentially any thrill seeking activity in between. One particularly wonderful thing about Dalmatia is our terrain, with rocky cliffs, a smooth Adriatic sea, gushing rivers, and makeshift hiking and cycling trails galore. Lucky for you, we’ve got one particularly perfect company to suit your stimulated appetite, and it’s &adventure.
