What You Can Expect from This Adventure

This tour kicks off with convenient pickups from Split, Omiš, or Makarska, making it easy to join regardless of where you’re staying. Once you’re collected, a scenic drive takes you to the starting point on the Cetina River—a river famed for its clear water and stunning canyon surroundings.

The Itinerary in Detail

Starting Point & Transfer:
You’ll meet your guide at one of three pickup locations—Bijankinijeva ul. 4, INA, or Ul. Josipa Pupaia 10—whichever suits your schedule best. The transport is included if you opt for the transfer service, which is a significant convenience, saving you from arranging separate transportation.

Rafting on Cetina (Approx. 3 hours):
Once on the river, your guide, with their wealth of local knowledge, will lead you through a relaxing yet exhilarating 3-hour rafting trip. You’ll float through sections with gentle currents and some lively rapids, experiencing the crystal-clear water and lush greenery that give this river its reputation. As one reviewer noted, the guides make the trip memorable by adding personalized touches, whether it’s extra adventure for the kids or detailed storytelling about the area.

Cliff Jumping & Cave Exploration:
The adventure hits its high points with the cliff jumps ranging from 4 to 6 meters. Many travelers find these “must-do” moments both thrilling and safe, especially with the guides’ attentive supervision. One reviewer described this as “spectacular,” emphasizing that Mario, the guide, ensures everyone feels comfortable before jumping.

The highlight for many is the visit inside the waterfall cave—a spectacular natural feature that many describe as the most beautiful part of the tour. You’ll swim into the first illuminated chamber, feeling the cool water, then venture deeper into a chamber full of stalactites and stalagmites. Throughout, small lakes and natural water sources decorate the cave, adding to the sense of discovery. The exit features a waterfall that’s perfect for a quick photo—a truly memorable scene.

Relaxation & Optional Activities:
Not everyone is eager to jump or explore caves, and that’s no problem. You can opt to relax by swimming or sunbathing along the riverbank. The tour offers a balanced mix, making it suitable for both thrill-seekers and those wanting a more laid-back day.

The End of the Tour and Return

After the activities, you’ll be transported back to your original meeting point or drop-off location. The total duration ranges from 4 to 6 hours, depending on the group size and pace. Travelers often mention the professionalism of the guides and the enjoyment of the small group setting—a significant advantage over larger, less personalized tours.

Plus, the high-quality photos and videos shot with a GoPro12 are a major bonus, especially since many reviews highlight how these captured moments become treasured keepsakes. The small group size (limited to 8 participants) ensures individual attention, making safety and fun priorities.
