You step onto the rim above the Cetina and the air smells of river stone and pine. Below, the canyon drops in sheer walls; water threads through dark rock, daring you to follow. The group moves with the guide—an instructor from the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service—geared in wetsuits and helmets, faces turned toward the first glass-clear pool.

Reserve your spot on the Small Group Tour of Canyoning in Cetina River Canyon today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear secure water shoes
Choose closed-toe canyon or trail shoes with good grip—slick rock and river currents make flip-flops unsafe.
Be ready to swim
You’ll need basic swimming ability for rapids and pools; if you tire easily, tell your guide before you start.
Layer for temperature
Bring a light warm layer for after the canyoning; wind on the rim chills quickly once wet.
Protect electronics
Leave phones in your bag or use a waterproof case—operators often provide group photos, so you won’t miss shots.
Sturdy canyon or water shoes
Non-slip, closed-toe footwear protects feet on wet rock and in currents.
