Unforgettable Private Paklenica Hike: Zadar Day Trip

We had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide was absolutely exceptional — very knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the area. The hike offered stunning viewpoints with breathtaking scenery. We really appreciated the personalized service and the care our guide took to make sure everyone had a great time. It was the highlight of our trip, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable adventure!

Fantastic day on this tour. If you enjoy hiking this tour is perfect. Jure is very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave a lot of advice, history and background information. All his recommendations were spot on. He picked us up from our hotel in Zadar, taking us to the NP. Then we did the first part of the walk to the hut where we could get a drink and bean soup - highly recommended. Then we agreed to do the next part of the walk taking us to a viewpoint which was breathtaking. We highly recommend Jure and this tour.

My husband and I organized a guided hike in the mountains outside of Zadar with Jure. He is a fantastic guide, a wealth of knowledge on all things Croatian and more, and we had a really great day with him! He has extensive knowledge of history and also guides teenagers/education groups and I have no hesitation in recommending him for any tours in the Zadar region- be it city tours, waterfall, parks etc. Thank you Jure for a great day in the mountains!

Jure was an absolute pleasure as a hiking guide. 1. Transportation. Easy transport to and from the park via a nice van, directly from our hotel. 2. Hiking. The park was beautiful and the weather in mid-June cooperated and it wasn’t too hot. The hike was about 1:45 each way, a simple out and back on well maintained trails (either stone or gravel the whole way). We turned around at a hut after a good Turkish coffee (stew was also available). Not too crowded. I would have loved to gone further and gotten closer to the ridge line but time was limited. 3. Guide. Jure was great. Very well informed and smart young man. He gave us a comprehensive history lesson on Zadar specifically and Croatia generally during the trip/hike and we talked about all sorts of things.
