Experience the Thrill of the Cetina River

Rafting on the Cetina River is the most popular adventure activity for travelers visiting Split. Located just a short drive from the historic city, the Cetina River winds through a spectacular 200-meter deep canyon, offering a perfect blend of adrenaline-pumping rapids and serene natural beauty. Whether you are a first-time paddler or a seasoned rafter, the river provides Class II and III rapids that are exciting yet safe for families and groups. Along the 10-kilometer route, you'll encounter hidden caves, refreshing waterfalls, and optional 5-meter cliff jumping spots that make this more than just a boat ride—it's a full-immersion experience in Croatia's wild interior.

Highlight of our Croatia Trip

We did the tour with the cave visit and cliff jumping. Our guide was hilarious and kept us safe the whole time. Highly recommend the afternoon slot for better lighting.

Great Experience

Beautiful nature and professional organization. The water was a bit cold even in June, but the neoprene suits provided kept us warm enough.

Perfect Mix of Adventure and Relaxation

I loved that there were quiet parts of the river where we could just float and look at the canyon walls. The cliff jumping was a great bonus!

I've rafted in many countries and this was top notch. The equipment was brand new and the guides really knew the river history. Well worth the price.
