Waterbike
The new attraction on the Cetina River
Have you ever heard of a Waterbike? This human powered vehicle allows you to explore the beauty of the Cetina Canyon at your own pace. The bike is equipped with two floaters, a handlebar and pedals along with a small propeller. With average operation it allows you to move at a speed of about 7-8 km per hour.
The starting point is about 8 km from Omiš, just before the Radman restaurant. Here, Ivan the owner will equip you with a life jacket and will give you some instructions to manoeuvre this unique vehicle. Once you’re ready, it’s time to climb onto the seat and pedal. Ivan will simply give you a push and you are ready for your journey down the Cetina River.
To ensure your safety Ivan will follow the convoy of waterbikes by small motor boat. Depending on what type of experience you are looking for, Ivan can play music from the boat or you can simply enjoy the sounds of the fauna around with plenty of birds and frogs.
The beauty of the waterbike is that you can stop pedalling at any time and float along with the current, you are in control. While going down stream, you can enjoy the clear water and beautiful scenery with mountains on both sides of the river. On the way back, you might see some people ziplining high above the river and if you are feeling brave, you can try that another day. Overall, this is a really nice way to explore at your own speed while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
Things to note:
- Sunglasses and sun protection are recommended
- Wear comfortable clothing
- The waterbike is equipped with a waterproof container for your personal items
- Children aged 10 and older are welcome
