FAQ: Hiking Logistics

Can I leave non-hiking luggage in the vehicle?

Yes. For Round-Trip services, city clothes or beach gear can be safely locked in the vehicle while you hike or climb.

What is the recommended departure time?

For climbers and hikers, an early departure (07:00 or 08:00 AM) is recommended to avoid the midday heat within the canyon.

Are pets allowed?

Yes. Paklenica National Park allows dogs on a leash. We transport pets provided they are secured in an appropriate travel carrier or restraint.

How do I pay for the transfer?

Payment is accepted in cash (EUR) directly to the driver at the end of the transfer.
