“The extreme canyoning adventure was the highlight of our trip to Croatia, and the adrenalin was pumping from time to time. We experienced caves, heights, beautiful views, cliff-diving and waterfalls and it really made the rest of our trip rather boring, e.g. when arriving to Krka, we wished we could go back to Cetina river instead Friendly guides with complimentary pick-up made it that much easier to reach the official pick-up point from Split city center. Pictures were taken by the guides and sent via e-mail the day after. This made it so we could focus on all the beauty around us rather than chasing the perfect picture. All clothes…”

Scenery is beautiful, and the guide made us feel very safe all along. They give all the gear necessary (though the shoes cost extra).
