Rafting on the Cetina River is one of the most thrilling and scenic outdoor experiences you can have in Croatia. With crystal-clear waters, dramatic canyons, and fun rapids, it offers the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and relaxation.
But how do you make sure you pick the right rafting tour for you?
1. Choose the Right Season
The Cetina River is beautiful year-round, but spring and early summer (April–June) bring higher water levels for more excitement. Late summer (July–September) is warmer and calmer—ideal for families or first-timers.
☀️ Tip: If you prefer adrenaline, go in spring. If you're after a scenic float, summer is perfect.
2. Match the Difficulty to Your Group
Most Cetina rafting tours are beginner-friendly, but still full of fun. However, some trips offer longer routes or optional cliff jumping—great for more adventurous souls.
- 👨👩👧 Families with kids? Look for calm 2–3 hour tours.
- 💪 Adrenaline junkie? Ask for routes with stronger rapids or side canyon treks.
3. Ask About the Guides
A good guide makes all the difference. Look for experienced, local guides who know the river’s stories, spots, and safety rules. They’ll turn a great trip into an unforgettable one.
4. What’s Included?
Make sure your tour includes:
- 🛶 Equipment (helmets, paddles, life jackets, wet suits)
- 🚌 Transfer to the starting point
- 📷 Optional photos or GoPro footage
- 🍌 Snacks or drinks post-tour
Knowing what’s included avoids surprises on the day.
5. Book Ahead During the Season
In summer, tours get booked up fast—especially on weekends. Reserve online ahead of time to lock in your spot.
6. Bring the Essentials
Don’t forget:
- Swimwear & towel
- Dry clothes for after
- Water shoes or old sneakers
- Waterproof camera (optional)
Leave valuables at home or in your guide's secure van.
