The 13 Split Adrenaline Activities That Earn Their Price

1.Cetina River Rafting with Cliff Jumping and Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,219 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $58Our pick

Spend about three hours on the Cetina River with guides such as Vicky, Hus, Lucia, or Caroline. Expect gentle paddling, Class 1 to 3 rapids, swimming stops, a 4 to 5 meter cliff jump, a waterfall, and an optional cave crossing. The trip suits beginners, but the cave requires agility on slippery rocks.

“Great value for money. All the guides were really nice. Our guide (I think his name was Mikro) was amazing, he kept us safe but was also easy going and we had lots of fun!! The other guide Ivan we would rate 1 star only, I’m glad we weren’t on his raft (this is joke!). Thanks for a great day. Even the drive back the guide was lovely to talk to along the way and they were all so happy to share knowledge of the local area :)”

We were worried we wouldn’t have any pictures since we didn’t bring our phones on the raft but some were taken for us so that was also great! The cliff jumping and swimming was great but it’s definitely cold water so it’ll wake you up! Thanks again for the great time! Highly recommend.”

It was hard work for me, particularly the climbing up and down rocky edges of the canyon, but I got through and especially loved floating down the beautiful canyon beneath waterfalls. Youngest loved it all and found challenge in the rapids and jumps which made him feel proud. Oldest would have liked some higher jumps but had a great time. Highly recommended!”
