Amazing experience of rafting down a wonderful river during which it is possible to admire the nature and crystal clear water. As well as animals like fishes and turtles. The experience is long (3 hours of rafting) which included a break to swim, a passage (by swimming 4 meters) in a cave and a cliff jump. I would like to do it again. Credit to my guide (Finn).

Absolutely brilliant! We have been white water rafting 4 times over the years and this was DEFINITELY the best! Great company, we organised, friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Our guides put us at ease throughout. A time to be brave and push yourself! The cave jumping was definitely all of our highlight of the trip. Scenery was stunning! Highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wonderful half day on the river! Great guides and excursion.

Dalton_M, Sep 2025
This was a fun experience with knowledgable and friendly guides!! All ages can enjoy the rafting and river without difficulty and see the beautiful Cetine river. While it's a bit out of the way from Split the time on the river makes the trip worth it. We met a great group of people and we had a lot of fun together. The cave and waterfalls are very cool and the swimming and cliff jumping was refreshing and exciting. They also got great pictures (and didn't charge much) so we can remember our experience without having to bring a phone on the boat! Thank you to the team!! A ton of fun with a unique Croatian experience.

Jaime and tour organizers were very nice and accommodating!

David_L, Sep 2025
Our guide Jaime, from Chile, was amazing. My girlfriend and I went rafting with him and he made our experience amazing. We were worried we wouldn’t have any pictures since we didn’t bring our phones on the raft but some were taken for us so that was also great! The cliff jumping and swimming was great but it’s definitely cold water so it’ll wake you up! Thanks again for the great time! Highly recommend.

Amazing experience

Brian_E, Sep 2025
This was a phenomenal experience. The river was absolutely beautiful. The guides were fantastic and everything was so smooth. A few notes: it was a lot of paddling. This was my first time whitewater rafting and naively I thought you just float down the river. It wasn’t overwhelming but just an observation. That said they break up the paddling with places to stop for pictures, the cave, and cliff jumping. They provide helmets, which you will wear the whole time, so you don’t need to bring/wear a hat. Water shoes are a must. I have a cheap pair, nothing fancy, and they worked great. I left my phone but wished I had brought it on my waterproof lanyard. They do take pictures (it was 10 or 15 euros to get the link to the full set of pictures) but I would have liked to have taken some of my own.

Amazing Day

Phillip_E, Aug 2025
Fantastic day out and Pirates Rafting were a well organised crew!! Fin as a great skipper, helped to make the adventure more enjoyable… Plenty to do along the ride… Only reason for the 4 star, is that rapids are mostly a little tame… but that is perfect for those with young children…

Amazing experience! Not to be missed!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Miguel_V, Aug 2025
We had an amazing experience! My wife (52 years old) was really scared to get on the raft, but she ended up loving it! The river is unbelievably beautiful, and our guide, Jaime, made it a really wonderful experience. We particularly loved the cave! The chilly waters of the cave will definitely wake you up, and then the waterfall on the way down was also a real treat! All in all it’s a five star experience from our family of 5 (48, 52, 19, 17, 13). Highly recommended!!

The best!

Abigail_B, Aug 2025
So fun and beautiful! And the pacing was just right with lots of fun stops and adventures. We’d do it again for sure

Lots of fun!

Alyssa_M, Aug 2025
If you like rafting, highly recommend this tour! The river is beautiful and the staff is helpful and informative. Quick tip- bring a water bottle on the raft. It was recommended not to take anything but my friends and I wished we had brought water.

Book this TRIP!! Does not disappoint!

A great way to spend a day in Croatia

Hus was an amazing guide. He made the experience so much fun for my family. It was a great excursion especially for my teenage son who loves adventure. We all enjoyed our time on the river.

An absolute must activity - such a brilliant experience!

Colin_M, Jul 2025
A fabulously organised & worthwhile activity. 10kms of rowing over 3 hours which may sound a lot but is broken up regularly - voluntary cave dip & cliff jumping included - through the expertise of the brilliant guides. The river itself & surrounding scenery are beautiful too.

Fab day!

Michelle_S, Jul 2025
Great few hours on the river Cetina. All 3 children loved it, 8, 12, 15. Thank you also ro our wonderful guide Jaime xx

Daring adventure

Niki_M, Jul 2025
Lots of fun and excitement. A couple of tricky challenges and sore arms the following day! Professional guides - good balance of fun and safety

Excellent!

Becci, Jul 2025
We had an amazing time on this trip. We were with our kids aged 14 and 11. If driving yourself it’s quite tricky roads so leave a note extra time. Our guide Ivan was amazing, explained everything and he was super friendly and fun! The cave section was a little tricky but well worth trying. Definitely need water shoes with grips. Saw lots of butterflies, birds and turtles.

Gorgeous views, must jump in the cave!

Ryan_M, Jul 2025
Aesthetically pleasing, great instructors, perfect amount of time to keep it interesting start to finish!

An experience not to be missed!

Linda_W, Jul 2025
What a great experience - it’s like 6 activities rolled into one! Fantastic value for money (including €15 euro for great photos at the end!). Cetina river, waterfalls and nature are so beautiful. Nice balance of rapids and calm parts of river. Teens enjoyed the cave experience and cliff jumping. Big shout out to Hussein who immediately developed a good rapport with us and shared in our jokes and humour!

Amazing experience

An amazing experience in an unreal location. It was a great day out and our instructor Ivan was brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Great experience. We went...

Willem_V, Jul 2025
Great experience. We went in summer so the water was pretty calm. Good for young and old. The crew is very friendly and will make it a fun trip. It was a little longer than I expected but we had a lot of fun and time flew by. Do the cave experience. Yes the water is cold but it’s something very different. The rocks are slippery so you have to be able to climb.

Description should be more detailed

Angela_B, Jul 2025
As a beginner, the water rafting part of the trip was great. It wasn't too hard and the water wasn't too rough. However, there is a part where you must get out of the raft and swim through 50 degrees farenheit water for about 15-20 feet then climb slippery rocks to get back to the raft. I was not prepared or aware of this. Because of this, I do not recommend it to anyone who isn't physically fit enough to do this. Our guide was very sweet, however he got on the subject of the history of Croatia and would forget to tell us directions on which way to paddle to avoid getting stuck, etc. He also didn't give us a good expectation of the waterfall where we had to get out of the boat because he was talking about the history. While this was very interesting and informative, we could have used more direction on the water.

Nice tour, more than...

Nice tour, more than expected! The team is absolutely a plus. Everything is well arranged. Kids friendly.

Amazing!

Thank you Pirates!

Adriane_S, Jun 2025
Mom with two teenagers had a great time rafting! Kind, supportive staff. Easy rapids. Down time for swimming. Photos are great!

A great adventure day in Croatia!

Summer_H, Jun 2025
This river rafting adventure was EXCEPTIONAL! Very well planned and executed seamlessly. My kids (age 9 and 15) had an amazing time and are still talking about it. I expected it to be a tame and maybe boring adventure, but it was much more than just rafting down the river. Definitely swim through the cave, jump off the cliff and leave the photography up to the tour operator. Their photos are exceptional and leaves you free to fully enjoy the adventure and beauty of the river without trying to get the shot. Our guide Vicky was awesome!

Amazing day on the river!

Katia_D, Jun 2025
The guides were very experienced and it was also enjoyable for our kids aged 6-11. Beautiful surroundings and the added adventures behind the waterfall and jumping off the cliff made it a real adventure, but you also had the option to not do those things. Our guide Hymé was excellent! Also the pictures they take are amazing quality and really capture the fun!

Best rafting experience...

Michael_H, May 2025
Best rafting experience ever. River rapids, caving, jumping, swimming, chilling. Also so long - 3 hours.

Below average

Rupal_P, Jan 2025
Really bad lunch. Food was cold and the place was like a zoo. Not well organised, they said we don’t need to bring anything, but could not provide an umbrella until we were soaked through. The driver was great but would not recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Rupal, Are you sure you went with us on an rafting adventure in Croatia? We are closed for the winter since October and we do not provide lunch. I really think this is a misunderstanding and I would kindly like to ask you to delete this comment. Many thanks Heike & Neno

One of our favorites

Eric_R, Oct 2024
This was one of our favorite activities we did in Croatia so definitely recommend! We took a bus up to the starting point which was about 45 min from Split. They gave us wetsuits (which was very needed in October water) and helmets. The rafting itself wasn’t too aggressive but it still had a few exciting parts. The best part was swimming through the cave which is a must if you can do it (if you can’t, they had a walk around option). We swam through a dark cave surrounded by waterfalls in ice cold water and then scaled some rocks to get out which was awesome. After that we jumped off a cliff that was probably 20-30 feet high which was a little nerve racking but definitely worth doing. They also had plenty of picture spots along the way for everyone and ours turned out very well. You can buy them at the end but it’s cash only.

Unique and exciting rafting experience through stunning scenery with a knowledgeable guide

Amy_W, Oct 2024
This was - hands down - the best thing we did while in Croatia. We've never rafted before and while the experience is absolutely suitable for beginners it is by no means boring! It combined very well peaceful moments drifting down the beautiful river, paddling through and doing tricks down some fun rafts, swimming in the water, cliff jumping, and even canyoning through a (very cold) cave under a waterfall. We completed the tour with 2 other couples who were friendly and sociable. Our guide Mihaela was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and gave us facts about the river and area, making our experience even more enjoyable. We were provided wet suits and jackets to keep warm in the water and rented wet shoes to help us climb over the rocks in the cave. I even liked that the company took photos for us to purchase at the end so that we could enjoy the experience and be present in the moment without having to worry about capturing photos. I highly highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique experience with a bit of adventure while visiting Croatia - we can't wait to do it again!
