The experience

Rafting in Omiš — what to expect

Rafting in Omiš means rafting the Cetina River — a guided 10 km white water tour through the Cetina Canyon, departing from Radmanove Mlinice, 8 km inland from Omiš. The route features Class II–III rapids, a canyon swimming stop, and dramatic limestone gorge scenery up to 180 m high. Suitable from age 6, duration 2–3 hours, price €38/person including all equipment and a licensed guide.

Into the Canyon

Your adventure begins at Radmanove Mlinice, where your licensed guide runs a full safety briefing. You then paddle into the first section of the gorge — limestone cliffs towering overhead, the river gin-clear beneath you.

Rapids & Calm Stretches

The Cetina alternates between gentle drifts through canyon flora and exciting Class II–III rapids. First-timers find the pace welcoming; experienced rafters appreciate the scenery and the challenges further along.

Swimming Stop & Canyon Views

Midway through the route, the river widens into a tranquil natural pool — perfect for jumping in and cooling off surrounded by ancient canyon walls. One of the most photographed spots in Dalmatia.

Finish & Return Transfer

The tour ends at the lower river exit. A return transfer for drivers is included — your car is already waiting at the start. No logistics headache, just a great memory.

Cetina River rafting is done in an inflatable raft with a paddle — no swimming ability or climbing required. It is the most accessible activity for families and mixed-ability groups. Canyoning involves abseiling down waterfalls and swimming through gorges — a more physically demanding experience. Both take place in the Cetina Canyon. Many guests combine both activities across different days.
