The desire to dive deep into nature, to explore new paths, to ride new waves — it only grows stronger the further you are from what’s familiar.

Founded by thrill-seekers Viktor Marohnic and Perica Levatic, 57Hours’ name is an ode to the magic of weekends — specifically, the hours between 3:00 PM on Friday and midnight on Sunday. Combining their passion for the outdoors with a vision for community-building and a zest for creating products that make the world a better place, Perica and Viktor built 57Hours on the principle of making outdoor activities and adventures accessible to everyone.
Beyond its commitment to connecting adventurers with unparalleled experiences, the company also prioritizes sustainable travel and eco-conscious practices in its operations. 1% of the company’s gross sales is channeled towards supporting environmental non-profits across the globe. And of course, this initiative underscores an unavoidable truth: There would be no planet left to explore if we didn’t work to take care of it.
Furthermore, 57Hours takes pride in partnering with certified local guides who are looking to grow a business of their own. This not only guarantees that these passionate guides can make a living doing what they love but also that every adventure is deeply rooted in authenticity, giving travelers a genuine taste of local customs, knowledge, and experiences.

Booking is simple: Find the tour or destination you’re interested in, choose the date of your trip, customize your selection with the number of people you’re bringing, and confirm your reservation.
