Challenge, adventure, discovering new frontiers... are your triggers?
Discover the challenges of a new destination where you are given the opportunity to climb rocks right along the coast, ride a kayak alongside a playful seashore featuring an abundance of islets, rocks, cliffs, and coves, and to explore Mediterranean tracks and pathways, where macchia is replaced by thick forests, Roman rock quarries, and abandoned railway tracks, either by bicycle or foot. The trekking routes of this destination have been adapted to fit your desires and interests. And, a young profession team will guide you through your unforgettable experiences and true adventures, while caring for your safety at the same time.
Multiactivity
Program
Day 1
Just before dinner, while enjoying your aperitif, our representative will introduce you the upcoming adventure activities program.
Day 2
We set off to the climbing area of the Zlatni Rt park-forest - the rocks of the once Roman rock quarry located right along the seashore. These rocks offer difficulty levels ranked 3 and 4 (a, b, c), which are not too demanding. A professional team will introduce you to the basic techniques of rock climbing and will equip you with alpine climbing equipment, bearing your safety in mind. Climbing is an activity that requires
strength, concentration, and movement coordination - you will see this at the moment you begin your first climb. The second part of the day will provide you another exciting experience: abseiling. Descending along a fixed rope is a true adrenalin rush, definitely worth trying because one you “rope down”... there is no going back.
Day 3
Explore the beauty of the coast with its vast amount of islets, coves, reefs, and cliffs, and the most beautiful nautical kayaking routes that enable you access to the most private of beaches of Rovinj’s islets and coastline. After learning the basics of kayaking - rowing and dynamics maintenance while in motion, we will set out to explore the untouched nature along the sea pathway, in the company of an instructor. A tour will be made of the islands and islets in the near vicinity of Rovinj, including the islands of St. Andrew, St. Catherine, St. Ivan, Maskin, Samer, Sedam Dlaka (The Seven Hairs) and Figarola - offering a handful of sights, as well as opportunities: pebble beaches, small churches, natural boulders that you can take acrobatic leaps off of and land into the wide open sea, and plenty of places to go diving. You may capture all of this beauty with your camera. The kayak trip is foreseen to last approximately 5 - 6 hours, including a break. The island of St. Andrew, with its modern hotel, restaurants and café/bars, provides a great place for lunch or a short break for a quick “energy” meal.
Day 4
Today is the day we will conquer the nature in the surrounding region of Rovinj via bicycle. Equipped with quality mountain bikes, we will travel along a network of field pathways and trails that lead through a wealth of Mediterranean flora and lead to the Palud Ornithological Reserve where as many as 217 types of birds have been recorded. The pathway to the reserve runs through a park-forest where magnificent coniferous trees mingle with exotic tree species, as well as fields of aromatic plants, olive groves and vineyards. Along the way, we will see an entire wealth of monumental heritage: from prehistoric and ancient remains to medieval and Renaissance churches. The trails are relatively easy, providing a pleasant ride, with only a few sections that may be a little more demanding. During this nature trip, a break may be taken for a small
“energy” meal.
Day 5
Breakfast is followed by departure.
