Float the Cetina’s clear green water between limestone walls on a family-friendly tubing run from Split or Zadvarje. Short rapids, a swim break and local guides make this an accessible and scenic half-day escape.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A warm current threads through limestone walls as you ease onto a bright inner tube and let the Cetina carry you downstream. The canyon narrows and widens in turn; the river murmurs and then, playfully, nudges you through brief, bubbly rapids. Sunlight spots the water green and clear, and the cliffs overhead keep the air cool even on high-summer days.
