Fun outdoor experience. Our guide Dorian was very experienced and knowledgeable.
I will say the adventure was quite challenging with a lot of climbing and even the canyoning part was tricky.
Overall we had a great time but came away with some recommendations:
1. Rent the boots!
2. This takes a higher level of fitness than you might think. I believe the description undersells the intensity.
If you’re up for some exertion and a challenge, do it! We had a great time!

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY. Luca and Ivan were AWESOME! Safety was a high priority and at no point did I feel unsafe. That said, this is not for people who do not like adventure or have difficulty with climbing. We were tired at the end of the day, but a great tired. Luca knows the river like the back of his hand, and got us through all the water falls and pools without issue!

Probably the highlight of our 9-day trip in Croatia.
We had Dorian, who was an amazing guide. He took wonderful care of us as we went through the canyon. The cool water on such a hot day was an amazing trip. Highly recommended.

They catered to all experience levels. We have never been Canyoning before but we had such a blast! The guide was very helpful with where to step and how to go down the rapids. We felt it was a great balance of difficult but fun. Highly recommend! Its not a lame "tourist trap", its a real challenge and unique experience

We had an amazing time canyoning. It is not for the faint of heart but it feels great when you have accomplished the long trek. Our guide was amazing and patient. He had my youngest by his side the whole time to make sure he was safe. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Highlight of our Croatia trip 💓 we enjoyed it so much. Luca was a perfect guide for us. We had two teens with us and they had smiles in their faces the whole way through.
Monika_S, Aug 2024
The route was fun and the views were amazing. Our guide Luca was the best, super attentive and made sure everybody was having a great time!

An amazing and cool respite from the Croatian heat while visiting Split! Tony and Ivan were amazing guides. The wife and I did the regular tour with Tony and Jakub, while our girls did the extreme version, with Ivan which included rappelling and some higher cliff jumps into the water. Don't be fooled, this is rigorous and physically demanding, but safe and very well worth it! Amazing experience we would recommend to all with a minimum level of physical fitness and mobility.

Enjoyed a great day canyoning with two sons (11 and 13). This tour was perfectly suited to be appropriate for us all. It was hard work for me, particularly the climbing up and down rocky edges of the canyon, but I got through and especially loved floating down the beautiful canyon beneath waterfalls. Youngest loved it all and found challenge in the rapids and jumps which made him feel proud. Oldest would have liked some higher jumps but had a great time. Highly recommended!

We had the most amazing time on our canyoning adventure!!! Our Mumma Duck Marco made sure we all felt comfortable and safe while also giving us a few good laughs. The scenery was beautiful but Marco made it 100x more enjoyable!!! Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!!
Rens_F, Jul 2023
It was a very nice experience to do with a group of friends! Because everybody in our group was fit, we also went to another part to make the experience even better. I would really recommend this group activity to all boys and girls who like to go on a adventure!
Paris_T, Jul 2023
Peitro and Ruben were amazing tour guides on this trip, giving good tips on how to safely get down the canyons and allowing heaps of opportunities to jump off rocks and swim to cool down. we had an absolute blast on this trip and will definitely be back to do an extreme canyoning soon!
Sandra_B, Jun 2023
This was the best thing we have done in Croatia so far. We were surrounded by such natural beauty as we swam, propelled, jumped off cliffs into the canyon. Peter and Anthony were such great host.
Vickie_F, Jun 2023
The experience was great! Hiking down to the river was extreme and exciting. Luka our guide was the best!
Heli_K, Oct 2022
Awesome scenery, professional and friendly quide. Also a good physical workout. Great experience overall!
Mirac_A, Jul 2022
Like many others have said, this was the highlight of our trip. I would have enjoyed the water more without the neoprene body suit. This activity requires good physical condition as it requires climbing up and down on cliffs with sharp & slippery stones.
Ciaran_P, Jul 2022
Bought the option with a transfer from split city centre - ideal as the location is fairly remote. Guide was excellent and knowledgeable, made us feel safe at all times while making the most of what the river and cliffs had to offer. For first time canyoners and tourists, the experience could not be easier. Take a towel to dry yourself/hair with and some cash to rent the specialist boots - 50kn each.
Kristen_M, May 2022
We had so much fun, it was a unique experience! Toni was great - patient, fun, easygoing and we learned about the history of the hydro dam. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommended.
Special thanks to our guides Stepa and also Nena who did an outstanding job in every way , making sure all were safe and happy.

This was a WIN for our family of 6 (kids ages 8, 10, 13, 15)! Kids positively loved it and we had the very best guides. They were fun with the kids, but took good care of the whole group at the same time. Our 8 year old was definitely not too young. He is very energetic and is used to high level of activity, but as long as a younger one is semi athletic he/she should be fine. Our youngest was chilly by the end, but never complained and keeps asking when we can do it again. If you are looking for a unique family activity this is it. And the canyon is beautiful. We even jumped through a waterfall.

Super activity with a competent and friendly guide. 3 hours of travel in the canyon, it passes too fast!

Très bonne activité, encadrant très professionnel, très beaux paysage, je recommande fortement l’expérience
Dorine_L, Sep 2023
Une très belle expérience, des beaux paysages .
De très bon accompagnants, à l'écoute et aidant.
Il y a une partie dans la rivière et une partie dans la nature pour rejoindre d'autre point de la rivière.
Vous pouvez donner une bouteille d'eau à un des accompagnants.
Nous vous conseillons de prendre un truc à manger pour après.
