Description

Along with the sense of exploration that comes with hiking, scrambling adds an even more thrilling aspect to it. And on this full day trip through the Velika Paklenica canyon in the Paklenica national park in Croatia, I would like to take you scrambling through several beautiful areas.

During this tour you will get to visit, explore and climb the Anica Kuk (712m). This amazing and famous rock is the largest rock on the Velebit mountain. Surrounded by vibrant green meadows and crystal clear natural spring water, Anica Kuk is a fantastic highlight on this trip. We will scramble our way to the top, and while the ascent will be tough at times, the rewards are well worth it because from at the top you will be granted magnificent views of the coast, as well as some great nearby peaks.

Scrambling is a unique way to explore an area. It involves trekking through an exposed walking route. Hence giving you a sense of excitement that you may not get on a traditional hiking route. However, because of the nature of scrambling, it is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition and have prior scrambling experience.

If you are looking for a unique, challenging and thrilling way to explore the beautiful Velika Paklenica canyon, this is the trip for you. I have no doubt you will have an amazing experience. So send me a request and let the fun begin.

Would you like to take a more traditional hike through the Paklenica national park? Then join me on this full day trip that will give you access to some amazing viewpoints.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
