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.

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

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. We’re still talking about this excursion among everyone in our group—it 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 adventure—we can’t recommend this tour enough!

If you’re looking for a dry, dull day in Split… keep walking. But if you’re ready to get soaked, laugh until your sides hurt, and shout “Bumba bumba!” like a seasoned river warrior, then book this white water rafting experience with Tom immediately.
From the moment we met Tom—equal parts guide, comedian, and river whisperer—we 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 “Bumba bumba!” in unison, and first time realizing that laughter and icy splashes make an unbeatable combo.
Tom’s 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 wasn’t just a rafting trip—it 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!

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 weren’t too intimidating or fast and the paddling wasn’t too taxing.
Our tour guide, Christian, was fantastic! He was very funny and cracking jokes the whole time. You’ll be very lucky if you get him.

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
💯 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
Tim_D, Jul 2025
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.

Totally amazing experience, I went with my teenage grandchildren and wechad a fantastic time. Ivan our guide was excellent, and good fun too! 😁
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 building…Everything is outdoors. The restroom, the changing space for after rafting etc. (We weren’t expecting this. Sorry I don’t have pictures to include)
IMPROVEMENT: Would be communication when it comes to what’s 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 doesn’t have any and we needed to notify them in advance…that is valid although I think this should be stated at some point during booking. Like I said I thought we’d go into an establishment and they’d 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 “truly included”
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 Croatia’s culture and history, which made the trip even more special. I’ll 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 they’d be. Don’t 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

Amazing day full of adventures. The rafting route isn't too difficult but enjoyable. Swimming in cold waters in cave is very special.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an amazing day full of adventures. Hope to see you again for more exciting experiences!

This tour was the highlight of our family trip! Joe was the best guide! Our kids (age 9 and 11) loved his jokes and stories. We all opted to do the cave swim and canyoning and really enjoyed it. The water was cold and refreshing. Beautiful scenery. Enough rapids for a fun rafting ride, but we felt very safe the entire time. Would 100% recommend this if you’re in the Split area.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Joe made your family trip a highlight and that your kids enjoyed his jokes and stories. Hope to see you again!
Gabby_C, Jul 2024
This was an excellent adventure, it even included jumping into a cave for a quick swim which was pretty awesome. Note: if you are after constant rapids at a more extreme level, this is probably not for you. But the scenery is breathtaking, and there are enough rapids for some fun. We also got to have a cliff jump (voluntary) which was another highlight.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the adventure and the breathtaking scenery.
Jade_B, Jun 2024
This was a really fun experience and a good thing to do not far from split. The company offer a transfer service which I recommend using as this was convenient! The rafting is fun, also optional is cliff jumping and swimming/climbing in a cave which was also fun.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Glad you enjoyed the rafting, cliff jumping, and cave swimming. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
Laurie_B, Jun 2024
Christian was an excellent guide plus so lovely keeping a nice conversation going when we could relax. He was on top of both keeping us safe and making sure we had a good time. Going into the cave was a nice surprise plus enough of a challenge to make us feel some good Adrenalin, as was the cliff jumping. The rafting itself had some nice technical challenges which made it fun. Great time! Thank you!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
We appreciate your feedback and are so glad you had a great time! Thanks for choosing us, and we hope to see you on the river again!

Was met by Kristijan on arrival, he fully explained what was best to take and leave behind and promptly put us on the bus.
On arrival at the raft we find Kristijan was to be our guide, as we are a mix of mature ladies, he was very attentive to our parties needs.
His humour is excellent and makes you feel at ease, his knowledge of various things was also outstanding.
