the amazing things you'll be doing
A centre-based active break amongst stunning lakes and waterfalls
Experience Village Life
You will stay in a self-contained village house in Korana, a small romantic village in Plitvice Lakes National Park. Houses are small, simple and traditional, set in peaceful surroundings of meadows, hills, river and waterfalls. You live mostly outdoors and enjoy breakfasts or barbecue picnics by the river surrounded by flowers and butterflies. The waters are a pleasant 25ºC in summer.
A week of Activities
With a full week here there is plenty of time for lots of fun and group activities. You’ll cycle through forests and along river banks, beside lakes and up to waterfalls. Explore the narrow canyons and cascading waterfalls on foot. Canoeing through easy rapids down the wild-west-like canyons of the Zrmanja and Krupa Rivers is an exhilarating experience for everyone to safely enjoy.
Teenagers only departures - 01 Aug 09

how this holiday makes a difference
|
Your visit brings much-needed income to this area where people are still trying to recover from the war-torn years that disrupted their lives so badly. The area you stay in is close to the Bosnian Border and was badly affected by the conflict. By visiting you are contributing directly to this recovery and helping local people rebuild their future.
Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us. Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International. Plan works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems. Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full. Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
