Split, Dalmatia, Croatia
The picturesque Cetina River, which lies south east of Split, runs through a spectacular high-sided rocky canyon – the Cetina Gorge – descending over a series of waterfalls and light-moderate rapids to meet the sea at Omis.
Half-day white-water rafting excursions tackle a 10km stretch of the river; during summer it’s a fairly gentle descent (grade I-II rapids), with time to take stock of the beautiful scenery. Spring and autumn see slightly more exhilarating rapids, but even then, it’s never more than an occasional grade III. You’re really coming for the setting and to escape into the great outdoors – hence why it’s such a popular day trip from Split.
If you don’t fancy rafting, there are kayaking and full-day canyoning options too. It’s also possible to try free climbing on the steep-sided rocky cliffs in the Cetina valley.
Organised rafting, canyoning and kayaking tour depart from either Omis or Split. You can self-drive to get there independently, and in summer, regular taxi-boats run up and down the Cetina River from the bridge in Omis.When you’ve built up an appetite, Radmanove Mlinice is a popular, informal restaurant in an old mill on the banks of the Cetina River, specialising in local freshwater species, including eel.
White-water rafting and canyoning are available May to September. The river is too dangerous for at other times of the year.
