What makes Novigrad so ideal for families is the fact that it is a perfect base for some thrilling experiences. The crystal waters of Novigrad Bay are perfect for venturing out onto the water in a sea kayak, and the nearby Paklenica National Park in Starigrad is home to awe-inspiring, dramatic rock formations which are great for exploring on a hike. You can spend the day cycling through Krka River National Park, admiring the phenomenal set of seven waterfalls and a trip to Cetina River will have you white-water rafting over the fast, foaming waters.
