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!

Absolutely loved this rafting experience on the Cetina River in Omiš!
The river is mostly Class II, so it’s pretty calm and beginner-friendly, but there are still plenty of fun and exciting sections, with lots of splashes and some really cool moments along the way. One of my favorite parts was the optional stop at a cave, where you can actually swim inside the cave. The water was absolutely beautiful and refreshing, and you can even jump into the water from inside.
There’s also a really fun cliff-jumping section that adds a little extra adrenaline to the experience.
The equipment was in great condition, and I especially want to thank Christian and Tomas for being such great guides. They were both very friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better.
I also want to apologize to Christian and Tomas because unfortunately I wasn’t able to leave a proper tip—or any tip at all—because I ran out of cash. I really wish I could have, because they absolutely deserved it.
And a special thank you to Christian for giving me a ride back down to town afterward. I didn’t have a car or any other way to get back, and that really helped me out.
Overall, I’m extremely grateful for the experience. If you’re in Omiš and looking for something fun, scenic, and adventurous without being too extreme, I definitely recommend rafting on the Cetina River!
We had a great time in the beautiful Cetina canyon… rafting, jumping and swimming in cave, and cliff jumping! Very exciting and relaxing moments too. Our guide Boz was excellent navigating us and giving us lots of local information too. Thank you 😊
Our guide Ante was great. The river was so beautiful - clean and clear with a mix of amazing scenery. So glad we went.
Travelled with my mum and this was such an amazing experience! We had Valentino as our guide and he was really lovely & funny. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a bit of action/ something different! The cave aspect of it was a bit scary, as well as the cliff jumping but it was SOOO worth it! highly recommend.
We enjoyed the rafting experience in August 2026 as a family with a 16, 13 and 11 year old. Our guide was Tom and he was absolutely brilliant. The Cetina river is stunning and the addition of climbing through the cave was a real thrill. Thank you for an amazing experience! We would definitely recommend rafting as part of your holiday to Croatia.
Great experience just enough adrenaline . The challenges they provide are also fantastic through the cave
A fun day in the river - rapids just wild enough to be fun, not so wild to be terrified. The bit where you swim through the cave (optional) was cold beyond cold - bone chilling but exciting! Christian was an incredible guide - knowledgeable, funny, engaging. He is a true professional.
This was a fantastic experience for my family while vacationing in Croatia. This company does a fantastic job with transportation and the rafting experience was top notch. Our guide Tony was friendly and fun and we really enjoyed his guidance. The cave and cliff jumping were very fun, not all companies let you explore the cave so be careful when booking if you want that as part of your experience. I highly recommend booking with this company!
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 didn’t paddle much. Me and my sister highly enjoyed it. We’re 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 isn’t enough. It would be good to be able to buy drinks at the end. Don’t bring designer glasses. They might come off
Great experience. Guides were very well trained and certified. Highly recommend for families as a first rafting experience.

Thank you so much for your kind review!
We're delighted to hear you had a great experience and that our guides made you feel safe and well taken care of. Thank you for your recommendation, and we're especially happy to hear you'd recommend us to families for their first rafting adventure.
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 didn’t get stuck once and he helped us a lot too!! Highly recommend this company for white water rafting in Omis!! Super duper friendly people!!

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back on the Cetina River for another adventure soon!
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!
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.
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!
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.

Thank you for your lovely review! 😊We 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
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.

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!
💯 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!
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!
Scenery was amazing. Guides were fun and gave clear instructions. Felt safe and they looked after everyone. Stopped along the way for fun activities
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! 😁
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.
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.
