What a great experience all around. The river is beautiful and the rafting was fantastic. Ivan was a fun and entertaining guide. We had a blast diving from the cliff even though I was scared. The tour and swim in the cave was amazing. Thank you for a great experience of this beautiful pristine river.

Fantastic experience with really experienced guides. I cant recommend it enough. You see beautiful nature, feel refreshed, get a slight challenge but nothing overwhelming with an awesome crew of really positive and responsive organizers.

Great tour in Split for Cetina River

ChongWa_H, Aug 2026
Cetina river is beautiful, water is clear, scenary is great. Aside from rafting, some off road climbing makes the tour more memorable, just to have proper shoes on.

Thank-you to all the Pirates for this amazing experience. Neno, our guide and owner, is a rafting legend with a wealth of experience. We always felt safe for such an exhilarating day. A must for any adventurous family visiting the Split area and great value for the money. Hakuna Matata Neno !

Perfect afternoon on the river

Gemma_L, Aug 2026
I would recommend this trip to anyone. The river is beautiful and the guides were good fun and knowledgeable.This was the first rafting trip for my 2 teenagers and they loved it.

Great trip down the river!

SARAH_W, Aug 2026
Great day out, instructors were skilled and gave great instruction. We had a lot of fun and the Cetina river gorge was beautiful. Swimming was appreciated as it was a very hot day. Beware of the clamber over rocks after the cave jump if you go this way as its a bit precariously quite physical in places, but you can opt to walk around if it's not for you. They also took a lot of photos and the €15 charge gets you access to all of them to download the ones relevant to you which is amazing given the quality and number of pictures!

Perfect family adventure

Hunt_M, Aug 2026
Absolutely amazing. Just right amount of adventure for our family ranging from 15 to 6. The guides were also amazing making every part, even the slower paddle stages fun. Special thanks to our guide Ben!

Erin_B, Jul 2026
This was SUCH a great experience! I didn't have very high expectations in terms of excitement as I have been rafting numerous times, but it was an introduction to rafting for the teens in our party. However, our tour guide Ivan made even the little rapids fun. We did this excursion while on a cruise, and everything was flawless. Pick up and drop off were timely and within the parameters I needed for our ship. The cave exploration was super incredible (without giving too much away) and definitely adventurous! Owners were helpful and communicative. I spent a month in Europe, and this was truly the best thing I did while I was there. Our whole party was able to participate in every aspect, and we all had the best time. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

This was the best experience. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The people we rafted with were great and our leader, Benjamin made the experience exciting and fun. We had the best time!

Highlight of our trip!...

Highlight of our trip! Maui made the trip incredibly fun for my teenage sons who typically are not engaged in outings, the Centina river is stunning, and I would highly recommend this tour.

Our kid’s favourite thing so far in Croatia!!!!

Christopher_M, Jul 2026
Great experience. Our rafting guide, Benjamin, was friendly, informative, very skilled and made the trip fun and safe for the entire family. The rafting was great but we also got to go swimming, explore a cave system, go under a waterfall, and cliff jumping. Apart from rafting, all the activities were optional if you did not want to try them. All the guides were there to help out. Our family of 4, (11, 15, 50 & 51 yr olds) loved it all. We all highly recommend this tour.

White water rafting

Paul_B, Jul 2026
The day before we got a message with details of the day, including helpful tips for what to bring. We chose the pick up from split option, they were early and the crew who came were friendly and helpful. All of the staff were fabulous throughout, we have to give a shout out to Maui as he was our instructor and was incredible, lots of fun, made up feel safe but made the experience calm. However, all of the instructors were good fun and welcoming. What sets this experience apart is the cave and the cliff jump… the cave walk was well worth it, what a beautiful piece of nature, but beware the water is COLD!!!!, but was super refreshing and good for the soul! There were a few chances to get out the raft and swim which was lovely and the river itself is magnificent. I love rafting or river tours to be able to see the untouched part of countries, and this is well well worth it! It’s clean and spectacular

Fantastic in all aspects

Josip_P, Jun 2026
Fantastic experience with really experienced guides. I cant recommend it enough. You see beautiful nature, feel refreshed, get a slight challenge but nothing overwhelming with an awesome crew of really positive and responsive organizers.

Fun with my teenagers.

The tour and swim in the cave was amazing. Thank you for a great experience of this beautiful pristine river.

Lots of thrills, but not too scary for kids

Amanda_R, Jun 2026
We had a great time on the river with Rafting Pirate. The river was full of thrilling rapids without it being too scary. Our guide kept us entertained with fun ways to paddle on some of the rapids, making our raft do a 360 at a few different times, and by giving us a team name and cheer. We skipped the cave part. There isn't a lot of shade in the beginning part of the trip so bring water and wear sunscreen. We took the trip with a 6 year old and 14 year old and they both had a fun time.

Great family experience!

So fun. Ivan was are guide and we had such a good time with him. Rafting was fun as well as the other excursions like Cliff jumping and cave exploring.

Our guide could whistle the theme songs of Kill Bill, GOTR and Star Wars flawlessly 10/10. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing!!!

Denise_H, May 2026
This experience was absolutely incredible! The crew was so kind, accommodating, and fun to be around. The views on the river were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Croatia!

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
