   What a great way to spend the day in nature! Denis and his crew are nice and welcoming. We went kayaking (never done that before), so they explained all the important moves to us and put us in the water. River Gacka is slow and calm, so you can enjoy amazing views and nature habitat around it. We were super slow, so our journey lasted about 3,5 hours (ca 8 km). Don t bring a lot of stuff or food, just row and enjoy! :) See more..

4. 4.5 Uvala Zavratnica (78 reviews)
   - In love with Zavratnica
   Spent More than 3 hours Bodies of Water
   
   
   Had to leave few words about this amazing fjord. I'm coming to Zavratnica since I was a little girl and since I saw it for the first time I was blown away with beauty. There is hiking tray from beach area to the top of Velebit mountain. The legend is saying that in 615 AD earthquake struck the area and 3 of Roman cities were whipped off in it. However there is Italian ship from Second World War there that u can snorkel around. Also Zavratnica and Velebit has 79 endemic species. Highly recommend to visit. See more..

   We visited here on our trip from Senj to Pag Island. Departing at 8:30 AM, we had the curvy paved highway nearly to ourselves, arriving at the Babić Siča Northern Velebit National Park station at 9:30 AM. After paying 60 kn for 2 seniors, we continued upward for 5 km on a decent but narrow dirt/gravel lane until arriving at the large Zavizan parking area (half filled with hiker cars) with restrooms and detailed trail signage. The clear sunny weather was a delight at this mile high mountain as was the UNESCO information board describing the 2017 addition of 2 nearby ancient and primeval beech forest reserves. We walked toward the beautiful small St Antun Chapel passing several large gnarled beech trees and groves among the dramatic limestone outcroppings. See more..

8. 4.5 Zip Line Pazi Medo (31 reviews)
   - Great fun.
   Saturday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
   
   
   We went as a family of four and I would highly recommend it. It cost us £120 . You go to the base and complete all paperwork, staff are friendly and helpful and there is a coffee shop and lounge to wait around in if needed. You are then driven about 5 mins drive up the nearby mountain , after being kitted out in all your safety gear. Once at the top you are all connected up and off you go . The first section over the tree tops is great . You then emerge out over the valley and back to base ,all in about 90 seconds I would guess. Great sensation. Worth a stop if in the area.

   For anyone loving nature - this is a MUST GO! Winter wonderland!!! Fabulous nature, wild and pretty at the same time! We were not (un)lucky enough to see some wild animals but it was fantastic adventure and perfect hiking trip! Yes of course it was cold but not too cold so we could really enjoy. We were walking from Bacic sica where normally is ticket point for national park Northern Velebit to Vucjak peak where is Mountaineer house Zavizan and back. See more..
