Fun, challenging, & beautiful adventure. Celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday by hiking, swimming, and cliff jumping!

Adventure-filled

It was an awesome day! The guides were amazing and the canyon was spectacular. Such a fun day and a must do from Split.

The most extreme you can do on you holiday in Croatia

Bas_L, Jun 2023
The whole trip/tour was amazing, hiking, climbing, dive, jump, walk, swimm slide, etc etc. I was alone with an American friend and our guide. He was really amazing explaining and guiding us through the mountain and river. Luckily I Made a lot of photos and films with my camera, but at home they are not going to believe I did the extreme tour. So climbed down the wire of 55 mtr’s of height. And jumped of Clives 9 mtr above water.

Dear Bas, Thank you so much for this amazing summary of your tour. Keep cherishing amazing memories and perhaps encourage others to step out of their comfort zones and embark on their own adventures. Happy travels!

Can’t miss this fun activity 💪🥾

Super fun event! It requires medium Level hiking skills since you will be going down steep trails and the terrain is very rough. It is doable tho for anyone who has not done canyoning before. Staff was great -Shout out to Antonia and Boris! For being great tour guides. They walked participants through the process/logistics and share some fun facts along the way. I’m totally doing this again if I go back to Split!

Great adventure day

Alice_T, Jun 2022
Fantastic day experiencing all canyoning has to offer. Experienced and friendly guides with good equipment. Quite a bit of hiking/scrambling on rocks etc but it was ok as guides helped you navigate this. Make sure to hydrate well and eat a big breakfast as there are quite a few hours without either during the trip

Extreme Canyoning

Michael_H, Sep 2021
This tour was amazing! Recommend to anyone traveling to Croatia. I will say this experience was a little scary though. There are several moments where you are climbing high up and down the canyon with little to hold on to. So if you are afraid of heights, definitely not for you. However, if you are for an adrenaline rush, this is a must do.

It was worth it

Fun Day of Outdoor Adventures

My family of 4 did this tour and had the best time. We all rated it one of our favorite things we did on vacation!

Awesome adventure!

Joseph_H, Jul 2019
We walked through the canyons in 60s degree water for 3 hours. We repelled 55 m(180 ft) and some jumped off 9 m ( 30ft) cliff. I had to repel ( liked it) but didn’t jump. Beautiful surroundings! Well organized descend with ropes to the bottom of the river. Guides were amazing! Felt safe and ‘watched’ over by our guides. Equipment was solid and good quality. Fantastic experience!

It was relly good. I recommend this adventure to other travellers. The thing I like most of all is that the tour considers different levels of physical abilities. For instance, if you're not going to jump from the 5-meter rock, you can walk around. Do not forget to prepare a towel, an extra t-shirt, and sneakers in addition to your flip-flops. In case you want to film the trip, you need a GoPro camera or something waterproof. Be ready, the whole tour will take about 7 hours.

Bonne première expérience

Lucas_W, Aug 2024
Activité passionnante pour une première fois avec descentes de rapides, sauts dans des trous d'eau et quelques moments de calme. Je conseille pour une première expérience pour la sérénité et le paysage, mais j'ajouterai que je m'attendai à un peu plus de sauts périeux.

Une première expérience de canyoning réussie !

Edwin_N, Aug 2024
Première expérience de canyoning. C'était très bien organisé. Nous y avons participé en été : la combinaison mise à disposition est parfaitement adaptée pour se sentir à l'aise dans l'eau fraîche. Le parcours pour débutant n'était pas trop éprouvant et en même temps, suffisamment sportif. Nous avons passé un super moment !

Très bonne expérience

Logan_R, Aug 2020
Je recommande fortement cette activité. C’était super agréable et très amusant. C’est adapté à tous, même aux débutants. Le guide a été très accueillant et s’est bien occupé de nous. Cela vaut le détour !
