We had amazing private tour with local travel expert and tour guide Matilda, who is the owner of this small but unique agency! This tour is perfect for families with kids. We had so much fun on Bacina Lakes and then on Norin river. There are no crowds nor too many people. It is a place where you will find your place in the shade or enjoy in sun, refreshment in the clear water of lakes and reading books in peace and quiet. Crickets are almost the only living creatures that may disturb your peace. Here you will be able to enjoy various water sports - swimming, kayaking etc. If you are also dreaming of such a vacation, visit Bacina lakes!
After Bacina Lakes, we arrived in little town called Vid for fantastic opportunity to enjoy in scenic ride through Norin river on Ladja boat and taste the very best of Dalmatian wine and food. Learn the secrets of the popular Dalmatian cuisine in the beautiful Croatian countryside.
Great experience we recommend for everyone o try while in Croatia.
