Canyoning
Canyoning on the Cetina River is one of the best adventures in Croatia
If you have an adventurous spirit, enjoy natural beauty and don’t mind getting wet, then CANYONING is for you! This tour will bring you to Zadvarje, a 30 minutes drive from Omiš in the Cetina canyon. Here is where the guides will give you a safety talk and provide you with your wetsuit, helmet and a safety belt. From there, another short drive will bring you to where the action starts.
After a steep descent, it is time to enter the water and start walking along rocks and over submerged boulders. Soon, you’ll come to your first jump into a natural pool and a series of small rapids. The guide will instruct you on how to navigate the rapids while floating on your back, with your feet together and arms across your chest. You’ll be feeling more comfortable in no time and ready for the first larger obstacle ahead… a huge waterfall!
If you have signed up for the “Advanced Canyoning Tour”, you will have the chance to rappel down the 60 meters cliff face to the river below. Otherwise participants will take a detour along a narrow trail to rejoin the others at the bottom.
At this point in the tour, the pools are deeper and you’ll have an opportunity to do some cliff-jumping while further down the river you will come to another rapid, where the guide will ask the group to float down…head first this time!
You will continue swimming until you get to another rappel approx. 20 meters high and later the advanced group will have a 12 meters jump awaiting them in this next section. As the river calms down there will be a chance for everyone to enjoy a swim in a natural pool near a waterfall.
The canyoning tour ends with a short walk back to the car where it is time to change into dry clothes.
