The clubs can organize comprehensive programs such as rafting on the Una river, tours of the Zeljava underground airbase, visits to Una National Park waterfalls, and local sightseeing. Transport into town or to attractions is typically arranged by the clubs; taxi rides to Plitvice Lakes are about €40.
