A cool morning in Split gives way to a highway hum as the minivan pushes inland toward the Cetina canyon. By midmorning the valley tightens, limestone walls rising and the river coming into focus—green-blue water that dares you closer. Guides rig boats, check wetsuits and helmets, and the group slides into current that alternates calm pools with punchy, class II–III rapids.
