Select participants and date
You step off the shuttle and the air changes — a briny breath from the Adriatic mixes with a citrus tang from roadside olive groves. In minutes the Cetina River appears, a ribbon of green-blue daring you to follow it to the sea. This private tour from Split hands you the reins: spend your morning on soft sand, ascend a medieval fortress for an angled view of river meeting ocean, or drift upstream on a short boat ride where cliffs press close and swifts cut the canyon air.
