About this activity

Navigate the Cetina River through a 4-hour beginner-friendly canyoning adventure featuring natural water slides, cliff jumps, underground passages, and swims beneath Croatia's highest river waterfall. Perfect for first-timers, this guided experience combines hiking, swimming, and controlled descents in one of Dalmatia's most scenic gorges.

Adventure for everyone! Basic canyoning Cetina River is the combination of walking, hiking, sliding down the rapids, swimming in crystal clear natural water pools, walking through the tunnels and swimming under the highest waterfall on river Cetina. Also includes some cliff jumps (they are optional). The guide provides you with wetsuits, life vests and helmets and you are ready to set off in the adventure of your life! All you need for this trip is a swimsuit, some kind of sports shoes, adventure spirit and you are ready for the expedition!

Insider tips

  • ★Book morning departures to avoid afternoon crowds and enjoy calmer water conditions
  • ★Wear water shoes with grip; the riverbed rocks are slippery and sharp sandals won't protect your feet
  • ★Skip the Split transfer if you have a car—save €14 by meeting directly in Zadvarje and explore nearby Dalmatian villages afterward
  • ★Waterfall swims are cold year-round; the wetsuit is essential, not optional
