Why hire a licenced mountain/hiking guide in Croatia (if you are an individual)?

You like hiking and you are about to visit Croatia for the first time.

If you are an experienced hiker and you know your abilities you can take the following approach: I do not need a guide (person), I will do the hiking alone or in company of my fellow travellers-hikers. In order to make the decision on which hiking paths to take you would need to spend time researching on Internet or looking through the guides (books) that you might have obtained.

Do profit from hiring a hiking guide

But if you are the person who leads a busy life and on the other hand wants to be certain that you will choose a hiking path that is best suited for you then hiring a hiking guide will definitely be a plus for you. This would allow you to contact him/her in advance, so you can decide on the most appropriate hiking path for your abilities and expectations. Maybe you like hiking in forest only, you do not want to miss any stunning views in a particular part of Croatia that you are planning to visit or a swim during the hike is simply a must for you. Well, if you do hire a hiking guide – his/her knowledge of the region and the recommendations will ensure that you do not miss anything and enjoy in the best possible way.
