Description

I invite you to a short hiking trip in Croatia, visiting wild and isolated spots that very few people know. If we are lucky, we can find some typical fauna of the forest and mountains!

Besides the most famous and visited hiking trails in Croatia, there are another options for adventurous travelers. Although it’s not common to find other hikers in these places, there are many possibilities to follow the trace of wild animals, and learn exciting things about their way of life.

Of course, I cannot guarantee to observe wild animals because they are usually shy and try to hide. But, if you are lucky enough and you follow my instructions, you may experience unforgettable encounters, always at a safe distance (for us and also to avoid disturbing the animals).

As a guide, my purpose is to preserve their habitat, as well as educating travelers.

I really love nature and I enjoy very much listening and feeling the forest. Specially during dusk and dawn, when you can observe most of wildlife.

Among the fauna living in Croatian forests and mountains I can mention brown bear, grey wolf, lynx, deer and chamoix. Many of them live in unspoiled areas.

The regions we can visit for this trip are Gorski Kotar, Lika and Velebit.

We can arrange this trip in any time of the year. In fact, each season offers different possibilities to be close with nature.

Please contact me if you love nature and want to discover Croatia in a different way. We can organize from a half-day trip to a 2-day adventure. I will be happy to show you some secret spots in this amazing country!

About the guide

Sasa

Mountain Leader

I was born in 1980 and I live in Rijeka, Croatia. I’ve always loved nature and I am a hiker since 2004. In 2011, I became a member of the Croatian Mountain Guides Association and then, in 2013, I received the UIMLA certification.

I mostly guide in the Dinaric Mountains of Croatia, organizing trips in areas of Gorski Kotar, Velebit and Lika.

I practice standard hiking and orientation in the forest. In fact, I really like to listen and feel the forest, especially in dusk and dawn when most of wildlife observing happens.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
