Make your way to a central location in Split for a morning departure, then transfer to a canoe launch point on the Cetina River, which descends from the Croatian mountains to the Adriatic Sea.
This trip is a good fit for even first-time paddlers, and you’ll start by practicing the basics of canoeing safety and handling. Suit up with a helmet, life jacket, and a canoe paddle, then launch the boats down the Cetina River, steering your canoe through a fun mix of quiet sections and white water. The river winds through varied terrain, from stone cliffs that come to the edge of the water to sections of forest and slender riverbanks, and you can jump into the river to cool off along the way.
When you reach the take-out point at the end of your Cetina River paddle, a driver will meet you for the return trip to Split.

Amazing adventure, rapids are so fun! You can enjoy mountain views and river Cetina beauty. Our guide was Dan, he is very friendly and professional. Give that man a raise :)

Simply the most enjoyable experience in Split. Damien was accommodating and knowledgeable. He was fun to be around. We worked hard throughout the journey, but we definitely played even harder! We get to see parts around Split that we could not have managed otherwise. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed cannoeing in the river. It was relaxing and sometimes a bit challenging. We had a nice guide who told as a lot about the wildlife along the river

Would recommend this trip. Fine for first timers who are apprehensive but make sure you have a big breakfast as there is a lot of paddling! Guides were fantastic and made you feel very safe.

Very good organized tour!
We were collected at split and drove for about an 1:30 hour to the river.
Helmets, wet suits and shoes were included at the starting point near the river.
The water is a little bit cold, but the weather was perfect so it was good to cool down from the sun.
Damjan was an excellent and funny guide.
In the beginning he explained very good how to paddle and how to control the boat.
During the tour it was very important for him to help us at difficult parts of the river.
He did a short video (with his phone) of us going down a rapid part and send this to us later, that was very nice.
During the tour there are at least two stops to go swimming or just to relax.
During the tour you will be wet but it’s a lot of fun! And the suit keeps you warm. We would always do it again!

It's worth it.
The instructor was very clear with the directions and always willing to lend a hand, as we were novices in this type of activity.
Super fun and safe, we didn't fall once and we thought we would do it several times!!

Det var en del af en rafting oplevelse, hvor der også kunne vælges andet end kano, men det viste sig at det kun var os der havde valgt kano, og derfor fik en guide for os selv, og ikke behøvedes at vente på resten af gruppen - eller være dem der ventedes på.
Kanoen selv var til 2 person, så perfekt til os som et par. Vores guide sagde at han ikke havde oplevet mere end 6 personer booke kano på en gang. Så selv med “mange mennesker” ville det kun være 3 par + guiden.
Kanoen skulle i følge guiden også være lettere at få løs, hvis man sad fast på en sten - det er næsten en garanti at man gør.
Så vi anbefaler højt kano frem for raft/båd.
Guiden var god til at forklare hvordan man styrede kanoen, og en passende mængde snaksaglig. På intet tidspunkt følte vi os usikre eller bange.
Vandfaldene var passende størrelse for os som nybegyndere, det startede med en af de største vandfald man skulle i gennem, efter at vide det og føle man kunne klare det, så gav det en selvsikkerhed for resten.
Det var en fantastisk oplevelse på vandet så man næsten glemte at kigge op og se hvor en vidunderlig natur man var i.
Vi glemte selv at få taget myggespray på, men det var ikke rigtigt et problem, da der ikke rigtig var nogle. Dog ville det nok stadig have været en fordel, da der var lidt insekter ind imellem.
Grundet at kanoen var hurtigere end de andre både, kunne man nå at snuppe lidt mad når man var kommet frem, og ventede på resten. Dog skal man ikke vente for længe med at bestille, hvis man vil have tid til også at spise maden.
Maden man kunne få var ingenting specielt, men også prissat fair og billigt.
Turen frem og tilbage foregik i 4 minivans, og havde en fin udsigt og var ingenting at klage over.

Les guides Tony et Yvan , tous deux très professionnels nous indiqué tout au long du parcours la voie à suivre et les pièges à éviter pour ne pas se retrouver coincé au milieu du lit de la rivière. Les gorges de la Cetina sont belles , les voir depuis un canoë c'est vraiment très sympa. Nos enfants de sont régalés, et nous aussi d'ailleurs !!! C'est une belle excursion en famille. Merci encore
