What To Expect

Make your way to a central location in Split for a morning departure, then transfer to a white water raft launch point on the Cetina River, which flows towards the Adriatic Sea from a source in the Croatian mountains.

Start by practicing the basics of white water raft safety and handling, then suit up with a helmet, life jacket, and a rafting paddle. Launch the boats down the Cetina River, and steer your white water raft through a fun mix of quiet sections and white water. The river winds through varied terrain, from stone cliffs that come to the edge of the water to sections of forest and slender riverbanks, and you can jump into the river to cool off along the way.

When you reach the take-out point at the end of your Cetina River paddle, a driver meets you for the return trip to Split.

Please note: it may be possible to arrange a barbecue lunch at the end of your river trip. Please contact the supplier after booking.

Everything went according to schedule and the guide Ivan was amazing, funny and helpful. We were a group of 6 divided into 3 person per boat. There were 3 guides in total for 8 boats, who were working hard to make everyone have fun on the ride. At the end of the tour (which is also the meeting point) we went to the near by restaurant and highly recommend the fish there. It costs around 13€ (100hrk) and is freshly caught in the river, which you can definitely taste. Overall an exciting and fun experience. Highly recommend! Greetings from Berlin

Fun day for all on the rapids

Aaron_I, Apr 2024

Absolute top day rafting with Marin and Daniel on some intermediate rapids on the Cetina. Such a fun experience from start to finish. They have great knowledge of the rapids and we felt safe the whole time. Highly recommend Marin and Daniel and this experience.

Best rafting experience

Damon_B, Apr 2024

This was an amazing experience, starting with the amazing scenic drive all the way to the actual rafting experience. The guy taking care of us was well trained and made the rafting journey effortless to us!

Great Guide

Nathan_C, Apr 2024

Marin was our guide and did a fantastic job! He was both energetic and patient, making sure our group stayed together and had fun. He really improved our experience.

Don’t hesitate! Do it!

Awesome

Sharon_S, Aug 2023

The entire trip was excellent and our guides Damian, Marin and 2 others were all awesome. Thanks for a great day!

Fantastic experience

Ulrik_B, Jul 2023

Really great tour. Good equipment with shoes and wetsuit pans included that many other companies do not offer. Transportation time to departure point is only about 15 min and then you have 11km of river in front of you. The Crew around it is fluent in english and does a fantastic job guiding , helping and rescuing you in all matters and with a big smile. Also they handle all equipment for you and jump in the water to photo you. I went with my two sons and we got our own boat. It was fun to learn how to navigate the raft, however don’t bring anything on the boat as you WILL get wet.

Experiencing great nature with rafting

ShuiYing_K, Jun 2023

We had an amazing time with the rafting, in the most beautiful setting of nature and crystal clear water. The guides were amazing navigating us but also sending us loads of picture after the tour. We had a raft for both of us instead being in a bigger raft which is a lovely experience

Great trip

Larissa_J, Jun 2023

Josip and Marin were great guides. The rafting was exciting but we still felt safe throughout. The river and its surroundings are beautiful!

Brilliant, well guided and great fun

Marvin_C, Jun 2023

Great experience. Marin and team are brilliant guides and made us feel safe and relaxed for the whole tour! Would recommend this trip!

A fun trip

WilliamTollak_R, May 2023

We got our own raft with 3 people and we struggled a lot the first 10-20 minutes, but then we did better and from the we had a blast. You should probably put on sunscreen, even if you don't think you need it.

Fun in the sun

Kunal_K, Apr 2023

Easy to book, clear instructions. The rafting was great fun, well organised, all equipment (wet suit) provided. Once equipment collected, they drive you a short 10 minutes away to the starting point. Overt 3 hours of rafting. My first time and they explain things and have instructors with you. Great fun when the sun is shining and I recommend.

Great family fun1

mooglerrmc, Mar 2023

Our guides Marin, Damjan and Dean did an outstanding job on the tour. My family had so much fun. Dean my guide for our boat was very knowledgeable with the river and all the wildlife there. If your looking for a great time that won’t break the bank this is it.

Betong excellent

Husain_M, Sep 2022

If I could rate beyond excellent I would. It was just a memory that can never be erased. The experience was one of a kind and the instructors Marin, Jure and Petar were one of the main reasons why they made this experience that will last for all our life. They were so accommodating and welcoming that always were there to help and never left anyone behind. They gave us all the views we desired and kept on educating us about the place. As for the company split adventure they were always there to help out almost immediately and kept us informed if any changes were there. A sure shot experience as the instructors and the company will surely not let u down. A must do for anyone who doesn't even have a slight experience of rafting as us. Beyond excellent for sure keep up the good work.

11/10 service and Fun experience

Alexander_O, Aug 2022

Amazing tour and amazing service but be prepared to be sore the next day! As we caught an uber to the place the guides helped us by driving us home!!

Highly recommended

Danyelle_S, May 2022

If you come to Split should be on your list of activities to do! The instructors are excellent. I would recommend to anyone.

Excellent experience.

Winnie_D, Jul 2021

It was my first rafting tour and it was wonderful. Our guide was the best. Never felt rushed at any part of the trip and it was exciting. I would definitely do it again. We even got a little water massage at one of the stops.

imre_p, Sep 2020

Great experience, somehow difficult to navigate the boat without a guide, as there was only 1 guide for 2 boats, but would still recommend this

Great Experience
