Description

This Mystic Velebit hiking tour is an adventure that will captivate you in many ways!

First of all, I’ll pick you up in Starigrad and we’ll drive for an hour along the beautiful seaside road to reach Karlobag. This is a cozy and small town located between the Velebit mountain range and the sea. So it’s a wonderful blend of crystal clear waters and amazing Croatian mountains!

From Karlobag we’ll continue driving up to Baške Oštarije pass. And on the way up, we’ll make a short stop at Kubus, a monument shaped as a cube and made of rock. With an altitude of 927m, it has an amazing views over the town of Karlobag, the island of Pag and the entire Velebit Channel.

Then we’ll continue to the Middle Velebit area between Veliki Alan and Baške Oštarije. This area is known for its stratified terrain. Also it is a geological wonder made out of Karst. During our hike, we’ll see beautiful peaks separated by bays.

The Velebit hike will take us about 4 hours. We’ll go to the top of the Velebit peak which has a great view of the surroundings. Also we’ll be able to see a deep karst cave on the way up.

So come to discover the wonders of this mystic paradise and have a fun day in the outdoors!

Mountain Leader

I was born in Zadar, but I grew up at the base of Velebit, the greatest Croatian mountain, and this shaped the rest of my life. Living in the nature gave me everything I dreamed of. In the same place I had mountains, river and the sea.
I am CMGA certified (Croatian Mountain Guide Association) and UIMLA guide (2013).
I love to explore new destinations, sharing them with nature lovers. And there's more than just the adventure. Indeed, I will take you to discover the locations learning the local people way of living and trying the traditional local food.
In the end, my goal is for you to take home the best memories of this experience!

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.

Cami

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.
