All participants have to do is show up and be ready to have a great time!
The Eastern Europe Optional Activity Package Includes:
Caving
Slovenia contains some of the largest cave systems in Europe and this caving adventure will take you deep into underground karst systems where only the light of our headlamps can penetrate. Winding passageways lead to caverns adorned with stalagmites and stalagtites, their crystals glittering under our lights. With our experienced guides we will walk, crawl and rappel our way through this unique environment to be born again when sun hits us upon our exit to the outside world.
Zagreb Sites Tour
Wander the medieval streets of Zagreb's Upper Town with our knowledgeable guide as he showcases landmark buildings, monuments, and parks from the earlier centuries of Zagreb's history, explaining historical figures and German-Hungarian influences. Visit the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, containing one of the largest pipe organs in Europe and fine examples of neogothic and baroque architecture, St Marks's Church, the famous Dolac Market, and learn about poets and writers who helped to record Croatia's history. Also included is an entry pass into Museum Mimara, showing a diverse range of works from early medieval-Europe to the Far East, paintings from Rembrandt to Rubens, and glass, textile and furniture collections.
Centina River Canyoning
Experience the adrenaline rush of rappelling down the beautiful limestone cliffs of the Cetina River canyon. Once on the river, the adrenaline continues as we splash through rapids, jump from ledges and navigate the more difficult sections of our descent down the river by zip-line. After more swimming and floating in crystal clear pools we rappel another section to get to the "big jump." Whatever your level, this activity has something for everyone and in the summer heat, the Cetina River is definitely the place to be!
Omis Rock Climbing
It's time to enter a vertical world as we explore the limestone cliffs of Omis! Set amidst an amazing mountain backdrop, we will be instructed in the intricacies of rock craft as we scale to great heights. Also test your nerve on a series of rappels (descending a fixed line) – the ultimate challenge is 150ft high!
Mljet National Park Entry
This is an opportunity to get back to nature and experience what may be the most seductive of the Adriatic Islands. The highlight of our National Park visit are the two lakes Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero, connected by a narrow channel to each other and to the sea. There will be plenty of time to walk through the lush vegetation and around picturesque coves to swim and relax in these lakes. In the middle of Veliko Jezero is an island monastery dating back to the 12th century which is accessible via a boat (included in park entry).
