      Hire Anton :)
      Anton was amazing! My 8 and 10 years old niece and nephew had trouble with putting on the tight canyoning gear. We almost decided to give up because of it, but Anton solved the problem. He took special care of us, made sure that the kids are safe all the time. He was friendly, smiling and bonded with the kids really easily. Because of this we had a blast. All of us enjoyed the adventure a lot. The scenery is nice, the canyoning is exciting.

      Loved it!!!
      This trip was our first time experiencing extreme canyoning. It was awesome. We recommend it to everyone who enjoys hiking, swimming, and a great view. Our guide Ivan did a great job leading us through the river. He made us feel safe the whole time and took pictures of us as well. We had a great time and would book it again.

      Better than expected! Ivan, Tony, and Anthony helped me and my friends have the best time. We last minute booked, not knowing much about what we would be doing and I’m so happy we did! They helped us with transportation to and from Split. Don’t miss it!

      The activity of a lifetime! Bucket list memories and jelly legs 🙏🏻
      Where to start!! The most active, mentally, and physically challenging activity I have ever done. BUT WOW! Just Wow! **firstly, I booked via Trip advisor and made an error on the booking by a month! The admin team thankfully re-arranged the day for me with no extra charge. -much appreciated** I booked this for a friend and myself as something different to try, we are 2x UK girls 37YO, I am short at 4'11, and she is 5'2 and we have zero experience of canyoning or anything 'extreme', but we like a bit of outdoors. There was aprox 12 in our group, we were reassured we were with other people in similar height, ect, and would not be too out of our depth 🤣 We were issued thermal shorts, a thermal wetsuit, abseiling staps, a life jacket and a helmet, and off we went in the mini van. The view from the top of the canyon was amazing. The decent was one of the scarier parts, and it is a taste of what is to come. The trip is navigating 3k through the canyon in the river, cliff jumping, abseiling, floating down river with the current. I can confirm that although this sounds lovely, it is extreme. The canyon is super high, filled with giant boulders and slippery rocks to get over to continue the route. The team & Guides are professional, and know the canyon like the back of their hand. They are clear with health and safety and how to get the most out of the adventure. You are in safe hands. This was an experience I will never ever forget. It is etched into mine & my friends' memories for life! If you want a thrill/ bucket list tick, DO IT! Pointers- * Ensure you have 2 days to recover because you use every muscle in your body to complete the canyon. Fortunately, we did this on the 2nd to last day of the holiday. And hobbled to the airport! * You must have a good breakfast. You will burn through calories like fire doing this and need all the energy you can get. * Make sure you have holiday insurance before completing this activity. I can imagine the recovery of an accident doing this trip involves a helicopter! * Watch all the videos on youtube by Split Adventure and others of 'extreme canyoning' so you know what to expect.

      Stunning scenery
      Small group of 5 with Ivan (this is the end of season so may be unusual and groups can be larger). Challenging, great sense of accomplishment after. Excellent communication beforehand with prompt responses for queries. Great pick up spot by Brass Gate with 45 min transfer by minivan to get changed. Hire water shoes are essential - €7 per person. Shoes provide ankle support and have great soles for all the walking across rocks - highly recommend using. Gear looked worn, but when you slide down all the rapids you understand why and all the padding was appreciated. Leave clothes and phones in car to meet at pickup point, which means you can’t take photos along the way. No opportunity to eat between 10am-3pm so bring snacks for afterwards. 3 km in canyon about 3 hours. Steep 10 min walk down the cliff to start in neoprene wetsuits, but great fun (not for people with bad knees). Water was amazing, so fresh. 2x abseils. Cliff jumps at 1, 3, 5, 7m heights and 9m after a short rock climb for the brave. Walk around an available for those who didn’t want to jump. Slides down the rapids were abundant and great fun. After 2 hours the water was a little cold. But floating on your back with river current across some of the swimming areas looking up at the cliffs, sky and waterfalls was priceless. Serene and stunning. Get changed as a group at the end on a deck, so bring a towel if you want privacy. Ivan sent through a photo for free at the start of abseiling and one on a rock from midway. When asked, also sent through extra photos of the canyon. A highlight of our month long trip. Ivan was a very fit and competent guide.

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Canyoning Adventure on the Cetina River!
      This canyoning experience was absolutely thrilling! 😍 Luka, our guide, was professional fun and kept us safe while showing us the most stunning spots along the Cetina River 🌊. His energy was contagious, and the jumps, slides, and swimming through crystal-clear waters were exhilarating 🤩. The entire day was an adventure packed with adrenaline, laughter, and unforgettable memories! 🙌 Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Split! 💦✨

      Cherry on top of a wonderful week in Croatia!
      This was a wonderful experience to have on our last day in Croatia- definitely the cherry on top of an unforgettable week! Luka was very organised, ensuring that our drive down to base camp was enjoyable by pointing out all of the sites. He also made sure that we had the best time whilst tubing- it says alot when even my mum, who was very apprehensive initially, enjoyed it! Thank you Luka :)

      One of the best experiences during our trip to Split. It is quite an intensive activity but it’s soo much fun, beautiful and definitely an experience we’ll never forget :) Also the guide was very enthusiastic & professional, he even brought a GoPro to take some pictures and videos in the canyon.

    Unlike previous rafting trips, these were 2-3 person inflatable canoes, where you sit in a line, which was great for me, wife and son. Son is experienced whitewater kayaker so steered at back and made sure he ploughed mum and dad through every wave, while he stayed dry. Other people in pairs had option of one of the 4 guides to steer for them, or just go on their own. A good mix of gentle paddling with time to admire the views, but with regular whitewater patches to get the adrenaline going. If you sit low in the boat for the tricky bits you'll get wet, but few people fell out (tip: when sitting low, the middle seat space is wide but very narrow, so longer legs should go to front or back seats). Got stuck on shallow rocks a few times, but a guide will push you free if you haven't managed to rock free yourselves. Sore shoulders in the morning, but to be expected. No other groups on the river so plenty of space, the guides made everything very easy, and wetsuits and boots were provided, but bring a waterproof phone case (the ones you hang round neck) if you want to take your own photos, as nothing is safe in the boat.

    A rafting trip that can't be duplicated!! Marin and Joseph were amazing tour guides. They knew the river like the back of their hands! They were engaging with all of their fellow rafters, making us feel very safe and confident on a river that was not at all familiar to any of us. The breath taking views were worth the price of admission. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat 💓. Thank you Marin and Joseph.

    I would highly recommend anyone who is adventurous and likes a bit of physical activity to book the rafting. During our experience, the guides accompanying the group were very knowledgeable of the water and the surrounding wildlife, by often giving background to differing species of wildlife. Adding on to the exhilarating experience of rafting and going down the rapids the experience as a whole was fantastic and I would highly recommend anyone who is in Split to book.

    Me and my partner did the rafting trip down the Cetina river with Damian (apologies if I spelt your name wrong). He was a lovely guy, an adventurous spirit, knowledgeable with a very good sense of humour. He met us at the meeting point which was very easy and straightforward. The transport to the starting point was easy and comfortable, accompanied with some history of Croatia.
    The rafting experience was great with beautiful views all around. Be prepared to get wet, it'll definitely knock you out of your tiredness or hangover! The water was really clear and lovely to swim in (you get plenty of opportunities to go for a dip along the way down).
    Damian was very skillful, helpful, talkative and even gave us the opportunity to raft down a part of the rapids ourselves while he took some pictures and videos of us. He also recommend us some of his favourite restaurants in Split which we thoroughly enjoyed on out last day and night.
    10/10 would definitely recommend this experience to anyone and will definitely be booking with Split Adventures again during our next visit to Croatia.
    Thank you so much!

    arrived in split slightly early and would have appreciated an acknowledgment from guide members having their morning coffees at adjacent cafe, after they were told we were waiting. Minor but a simple acknowledgment puts you at rest and lets you know you’re in the right place. All was fine at agreed start time when team leader Damyan arrived and kicked things off. The river meet and equipment point was the finish area with the toilets and shop. We got equipment and jumped back in minibuses and got taken to raft start point where you get safety and rafting briefing. The scenery is great. The team led by Damyan was very professional and was always looking after your safety whilst still making things fun. Great time for all. Safe driving back to Split.
    Take a go pro if you want more pics . Thanks for a great trip

    Great morning on the river. Marin & his team were professional yet chatted and laughed with us all through the rafting. Good price for the activity, equipment provided, and opportunities to swim along the route. Very easy to book and actually answered my booking request at 10.30pm last night to do the rafting at 10am this morning … not many companies that respond at that time if night. Thanks for creating a memory for us, and for soaking us !!

    I booked this tour for my girlfriend and I as a surprise, and it exceeded all my possible expectations. Thanks to our guides Marin and Mislav, whose professionalism and skills are unmatched (without mentioning their impressive level of English which allowed us to communicate with ease even in the middle of the rapids), we’ve been able to enjoy the beautiful views the Croatian wilderness has to offer. During the tour, our guides gave us several occasions to get off the boats and refresh ourselves in the clean, fresh and beautiful water of the river. What’s more, the rafting boats are designed to fit three persons, therefore my only apprehension was that my girlfriend and I would be separated during the tour. But that of course didn’t happen, thanks again to Marin and Mislav who made all the necessary arrangements for everyone to be happy.

    Beautiful views, thrill and fun await if you book this tour!!

    Our guide, Marin, was really great. The guy looks like you wouldn't approach him in a dark alley, but he's very nice and specific at the same time. He guides you efficiently through all the weirs and falls of the Cetina, tells you when you can get off and let the river carry you on your back. He tells interesting things and answers questions. Of course, apart from the charm of the river itself and the fun of rafting, you have to see it for yourself. Well, we just liked it.

    First let me say the guide, Peter, was great and led our two rafts skillfully and injected his personality and sense of humor during the journey. I give him 5 stars. Unfortunately compared to other rafting trips we have taken these rapids were relatively mild and not all that challenging. I am sure the trip would be more exciting during another time of year

    Had a great day on the water with Marin, Toni, Damjan and Marco! Wear your bathing suit and bring sunscreen and a water bottle. If you are diabetic, snacks in a dry sack might also be good, as this is a solid 4 hours of adventure. There are several spots to rest and swim, but you won't see anyone else on the water - just fish and ducks and beautiful vegetation. The "Cafe Bar Restaurant" meeting point is mislabeled in Google Maps. Its not across from the small grocery store in town. Instead, keep driving down next to the river, well you will see several cars parked and the outsiders waiting with the rafts. (If you get lost, just call the phone # on the ticket and they will help you right away.) There's a screened outdoor changing room as well as a small snack bar with very clean restrooms down by the water. You can change there before or after the trip if you need to. The guides provide life jackets, helmets, the bottom half of wetsuits (which is nice padding for the rocky areas ) as well as booties to wear on your feet, if you don't have strong water shoes with you. If you want to bring a cell phone, make sure it's in a very secure waterproof pouch. GoPros are great and they can snap right onto the helmets provided. The guides give lots of instruction and the trip was good for teen and adult paddlers of all abilities. Not recommended for young children unless they 've been on rivers like this before. Similarly, seniors with difficulty walking on slippery rocks or balancing might find this challenging. You will get very wet, and will have a great time! Afterwards, we took Marin's suggestion to travel down the coast to Ormis for lunch. Beautiful city, quiet, lovely shops, and the best fresh grilled fish in all of Croatia! (Ok , maybe we were a little hungry after the day on the water:)
