A 60m rappel next to the Gubavica waterfall

Croatia's highest river waterfall at 60m — and you descend alongside it on a rope. Your guide controls from above, the group watches from the base pool. The roar of the water, the spray, the view of the canyon below: there's nothing else like it in Croatia.

Who is this for?

Is the Extreme tour
right for you?

No previous experience is needed — but you should be comfortable with heights and open water. If you've ever thought about abseiling, this is the best possible introduction: a guide above, a breathtaking canyon below, and the sound of a 60m waterfall right beside you.

Not sure? Your group can split between Basic and Extreme on the day — you'll still experience the canyon together.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about
extreme canyoning on the Cetina River

Extreme canyoning on the Cetina River is a 2–3 hour guided adventure near Omiš and Split, Croatia. It combines hiking, swimming, optional cliff jumping, underground tunnels, and two rope-assisted rappels — including a 60m descent alongside the Gubavica waterfall. No experience required. Costs €65/person, all equipment included, April–October.

Both tours traverse the same 2.1km canyon section on the Cetina River. The Extreme version (€65) adds two rope-assisted rappels — a 60m descent alongside the Gubavica waterfall and a 20m descent near the tour exit. Both tours can run simultaneously so groups can split between Basic (€50) and Extreme while staying together throughout.

No previous experience is needed. Our certified guides brief all participants thoroughly before the tour. You should be comfortable with heights and open water. The rope technique is demonstrated on the day — no prior abseiling knowledge is required.

Your guide sets up the anchor above the Gubavica waterfall — Croatia's highest river waterfall at 60m. You descend alongside the cascade on a secured rope while the rest of your group waits in the pool at the base, watching. Most guests describe it as the highlight of their entire Croatia trip.

Children from age 8–10 can join, subject to guide assessment on the day. The guide will determine whether each child is ready for the Extreme option or should follow the Basic route — both run in the same canyon so families stay together.

Yes — this is common and actively encouraged. Both tour versions run through the same canyon section simultaneously. One person pays €50 for Basic, another pays €65 for Extreme — you experience the canyon together and only separate briefly at the rappel points.

Safety comes first. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll cancel and offer a free alternative date or full refund — never just a voucher.

You need to be comfortable in water — a swimming certificate is not required. All participants wear a lifejacket throughout the entire tour. The rappels are rope-controlled and do not require swimming ability.
