The city of Krk offers an abundance of activities for a fulfilling holiday with young children and teenagers. A harmonious blend of history, culture, and natural beauty ensures variety, while providing your children with something even more important – a chance to broaden their horizons!

Sea adventures

For many families, happiness is found by the sea. There is something magically restorative about the sapphire expanse that both excites and soothes.

The city of Krk boasts numerous family-friendly beaches equipped with additional amenities such as playgrounds and sports courts. Younger children can learn to swim here, teenagers can enrol in diving or sailing courses, and parents can rent a sunbed and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation.

Excursions and aquariums

A stroll along the waterfront allows you to book fascinating boat excursions and semi-submarine rides, offering kids a glimpse into the marine life of Krk’s waters.

Semisubmarine Big Marlin is the biggest, original and innovative ship in the fleet of semisubmarines that offers you a unique experience of underwater sights. Although it looks like a real semisubmarine, Big Marlin does not dive, yet it has an underwater cabin from which you can safely enjoy the tour. You can see the spectacular waters of the island from the comfortable and spacious cabin while at the same time you can enjoy the views of the town of Krk, as well.

Equally captivating are the aquarium and terrarium, as well as the tropical aquarium in the city centre, home to creatures like the Chinese water dragon, iguana, clownfish, and even the notorious piranha!
