Fab scenery, the thrill of white water, and the relaxing paddling, what a great way to spend the afternoon, cruising the Cetina river for about 11km.
Easy to find, and quick to get on the water. Tony was great as the raft leader. We had 7 paddlers in the boat.
Really enjoyed plenty of rapids, the cave swim (which had some tricky rocks to clamber over) and paddling down the calm bits. A real pleasure with beautiful scenery. Be prepared to get fully immersed in water like I did. Water shoes recommended for the cave and rocks.

Incredible day trip. Long drive to the start of the river. The instructor Joe, Joseph, and every different version of the name, was very funny, knew how to put people at ease and added to a great day out. He was able to translate into multiple languages as we had 3 on our raft. We went through the cave and did a cliff jump. He helped people of all abilities to navigate. It would have been more helpful having more competent people at the front of the raft and not the men who didnāt paddle much. Me and my sister highly enjoyed it. Weāre in our early/mid 40s and now have blisters as properly rowed. Mixed ages including early 20s and high 60s did all parts of the trip. You need to be able to climb through the rocks unless you just walk around the cave. The water is freezing but the cave is worth doing. Bring water as the drink at the end isnāt enough. It would be good to be able to buy drinks at the end. Donāt bring designer glasses. They might come off

Amazing amazing experience!! Our instructor Joe was absolutely amazing!! Super funny and got us all involved in the activities!! Did it a few years back with a different company but the instructor then was not as helpful and our boat got stuck many times but with Joe as our instructor we didnāt get stuck once and he helped us a lot too!! Highly recommend this company for white water rafting in Omis!! Super duper friendly people!!

Bring a change of clothes and spare towels as you will get drenched! There is no where to get changed if it's raining.

Thank you for your review and for sharing this helpful tip!
Karena_C, Jun 2026
So much fun! The guides do a great job of explaining everything to you and also making it fun. The added experience of jumping into the cave and jumping from the cliff were highlights. I highly recommend this. Scenery was amazing too.
HelenSanj_A, Jun 2026
The tour was great. Our guide was exceptional so patient went through the caves. They were so helpful with our whole family. They were amazing. Highly recommend this tour!
Victoria_C, Apr 2026
So much fun! It was a great trip despite cold weather and high wind. The best bit was climbing up through the waterfall, swimming across a cave, and scrambling back through another waterfall. Guides were very friendly and helpful.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! šWe hope to welcome you back to the Cetina River!

Our trip was extra special because it was just my partner, me and our guide Ante. Going in the cave behind the waterfall and climbing the slippery rocks is a must for anyone physically able. Even though or raft deflated and we lost our paddles, we were blessed with good weather whilst back up paddles and a pump arrived. The home made rakija provided after the trip was the best I've ever had. They were even kind enough to return my swimmers to me in Split when I forgot them in the van, hvala!

Amazing experience! The guide was funny and knowledgeable, making the whole experience very enjoyable. Highly recommended
Raymond_R, Sep 2025
What an absolutely incredible experience! Our rafting tour in Split was hands down one of the highlights of our trip, and our guide Evan made it unforgettable. He was not only super knowledgeable and professional but also so much fun, keeping the whole group laughing and engaged the entire time. Weāre still talking about this excursion among everyone in our groupāit was that memorable!
What really impressed us was how accommodating the team was from the very beginning. We got a little lost at the start, and they kindly came to pick us up from a different location without hesitation. That kind of service speaks volumes about how much they truly care about their guests.
From start to finish, everything and everyone was just absolutely awesome. Thank you, Evan, for giving us such an amazing adventureāwe canāt recommend this tour enough!

If youāre looking for a dry, dull day in Splitā¦ keep walking. But if youāre ready to get soaked, laugh until your sides hurt, and shout āBumba bumba!ā like a seasoned river warrior, then book this white water rafting experience with Tom immediately.
From the moment we met Tomāequal parts guide, comedian, and river whispererāwe knew we were in for something special. His witty banter kept spirits high, even when the refreshingly cold water slapped us awake like a Dalmatian espresso shot.
The Cetina River delivered a winding, wild ride through stunning scenery, with just enough rapids to keep the adrenaline pumping and the helmets firmly strapped. It was a day of firsts: first time rafting, first time yelling āBumba bumba!ā in unison, and first time realizing that laughter and icy splashes make an unbeatable combo.
Tomās expert guidance made us feel safe while still embracing the chaos. He knew every twist of the river and every opportunity for a cheeky joke. Whether we were paddling like pros or flailing like fish, he kept the vibe light and the energy high.
By the end, we were soaked, exhilarated, and grinning like fools. This wasnāt just a rafting tripāit was a full-blown aquatic adventure with a side of stand-up comedy.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
Thanks, Tom, for the unforgettable ride. Bumba bumba forever!

This was the highlight of our trip! 1000% recommended. Just the right amount of extreme and max amount of fun. Our skipper Ivan was excellent - he kept everyone highly engaged, made us feel like a team and created super fun atmosphere with lots of jokes. Everything was very well planned and felt very safe. The scenery was incredible - the last 1/3rd of the river was calm, so we could enjoy the amazing view and chill. Both challenges (cave and cliff jumping) were amazing and really enhanced the ride. Unforgettable experience!
Scott_S, Sep 2025
Such a fun experience! This tour allowed us to get out of the city and explore the nearby nature. The river and surroundings were beautiful and it was only about an hour drive from Split. The rapids werenāt too intimidating or fast and the paddling wasnāt too taxing.
Our tour guide, Christian, was fantastic! He was very funny and cracking jokes the whole time. Youāll be very lucky if you get him.
Teresa_C, Aug 2025
This excursion was so much more than a raft trip- we swam through a cave, jumped cliffs, and loved the wildlife and rapids. Kristian was a wonderful guide- we all loved the experience!
John_B, Aug 2025
šÆ recommend! We opted for the transport there and back. Driver was great and timely. The guide on the river was amusing, knowledgeable, and very experienced. The cave was nerve-racking in the beginning, but the guides were so attentive and helpful that the nerves quickly faded. Would do this again! Up to 8 per boat would be fantastic for a large group of friends and family to experience together! Thank you for a wonderful day!
Tina_E, Aug 2025
Fantastic half day excursion from Split! Highly recommend. Our kids are aged 11 and 14 and loved it! It felt like a real adventure especially going into the cave and swimming inside! Ivan our guide was fantastic!
Jane_R, Aug 2025
Scenery was amazing. Guides were fun and gave clear instructions. Felt safe and they looked after everyone. Stopped along the way for fun activities

Totally amazing experience, I went with my teenage grandchildren and wechad a fantastic time. Ivan our guide was excellent, and good fun too! š
Jade_S, Jun 2025
This experience exceeded our expectations! If you do anything in Split it needs to be this. We truly think we lucked out with our guide Joseph. He was 1/2 the reason our experience went well. Never a dull moment and very educated!
FYI: They do not operate out of a buildingā¦Everything is outdoors. The restroom, the changing space for after rafting etc. (We werenāt expecting this. Sorry I donāt have pictures to include)
IMPROVEMENT: Would be communication when it comes to whatās written on the booking app.
The booking says a wetsuit, water shoes, bottle of water etc. are all included and available to rent. We arrived and requested to rent water shoes. The rafting guide said he doesnāt have any and we needed to notify them in advanceā¦that is valid although I think this should be stated at some point during booking. Like I said I thought weād go into an establishment and theyād have some behind a desk but we did not. We walked straight to what looked like a camp sight set up and they provided nothing but water. Only thing ātruly includedā
That is the only frustrating thing that happened during this excursion :(

A beautiful canyon full of birds, fish, butterflies, and sunlight. Such a good way to spend a half day from Split.
Monica_H, Jun 2025
Our guide Christian was amazing - he sang to us and was great to talk with, we were only two girls so he had to do a lot of work but we never had to worry. The rapids were mild but fun - the scenery was incredible.
Polina_C, May 2025
Rafting was an incredible experience! We really enjoyed the stunning nature, the cave tour, and the thrill of cliff jumping. Everything was very well organized, and I would definitely do it again. Our guide also shared fascinating stories about Croatiaās culture and history, which made the trip even more special. Iāll be recommending Luka Rafting to all my friends!
Brian_B, May 2025
Fun rafting experience with cool views. The river is very clear with several mild rapids. Our guide Kristijan made the experience even better with his humor, knowledge, and engagement with everyone to make sure they had a great time!
Andre_K, Apr 2025
Great guy great to our company. Pick up was punctual and at the place they said theyād be. Donāt forget a towel and fresh change of clothes for the end. Level two or three rapids not all that challenging but still very interesting and beautiful.
Davne_M, Oct 2024
Christian was an incredible guide!! We toured close to the very end of the season, but Christian made sure we had the most amazing experience anyway. He took great photos for us and taught us a lot about Croatian culture, food, and traditions. He also ensured we were safe but still had the perfect amount of adrenaline rush to have a good time. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!!
Darla_S, Sep 2024
Overall it was fun. Our tour guide was nice and I felt very safe on the river. Views were beautiful and you had opportunities to get in the water which was nice. I was expecting a little more once we got to the river. I wish they would have recommended that we bring water shoes, a towel, and use the bathroom before we arrive. The bathrooms & changing rooms provided were not very nice. I didn't enjoy having to change into my dry clothes after the excursion but didn't have anything to dry off with. I would of paid for a towel if it were offered.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
