Where do we meet and when should we arrive?+
At Japodski otoci reception in Račić, around 15 km from Bihać. We recommend arriving half an hour before departure: 09:00 for Paradise or 09:30 for Štrbački buk. See contacts and directions ↗
Which route suits children and non-swimmers?+
Paradise is for ages 4+ with a parent, or 18+ independently; swimming skills are not required. Štrbački buk is for ages 14+ with a parent, or 18+ independently; swimming skills are required. Our team assesses suitability based on conditions and the group.
What should I bring?+
Come in swimwear. Bring water shoes and dry clothes for afterwards. Leave dry clothes and valuables in the van, which will meet you at the finish.
It’s my first time rafting. Which route should I choose?+
Paradise is the gentler option for first-timers and families. Štrbački buk is more demanding, with more rapids, and swimming ability is required. Before you set off, your guide explains the equipment and gives instructions. If you’re unsure, choose “Please help me choose” in your enquiry.
What happens if it rains or the water level is high?+
Rain alone does not mean the trip will be postponed. Exceptionally high water levels, usually in spring, may require a change of route. Our team assesses river conditions and discusses the details with guests.
How long is the whole trip?+
Allow around 6 hours for Štrbački buk: meet at 09:30, depart at 10:00 and return at around 16:00. For Paradise, allow about 4 hours from meeting to returning: meet at 09:00 and depart at 09:30.
These estimates include preparation, transfers and breaks. Time on the water is 3–4 hours on Štrbački buk or 2–3 hours on Paradise. Timings depend on conditions and the group.
Does sending an enquiry confirm my booking?+
No. After you send your message, our team checks availability and gets back to you with an offer. Once agreed, we send a deposit payment link. Pay the balance at the islands on the day. Reviewing your choices or opening WhatsApp does not automatically send a message.
What happens to my enquiry details?+
We use the details you enter to reply and arrange your visit. We temporarily remember your selection while this tab is open, so you can change languages or check whether your enquiry was received. If you choose WhatsApp or email, you send the message from that app.
