We travelled 90 minutes to go rafting (note: many activity companies are closed in October, the UK half term), and we were not disappointed. It was well organised, with plenty of wetsuits for all sizes. The equipment was well maintained and everything felt safe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and our guide (Christian) was outstanding! He was knowledgable, a great comedian and singer, he turned the experience from ‘this is great’ to ‘this is exceptional’ I highly recommend booking a rafting experience with these guys. It was perfect!

Great adventure. Marko was a great guide and paid special attention to our two children. With the suits it was also very easy to do in October at "only" 27 degrees. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The meeting point was unfortunately a bit wrong on the Google Maps coordinates. The actual meeting point was about 400 meters further at the gas station

What an epic adventure, we are still talking about how much fun we had on this tour. Our guides were great and made sure everyone was good and having fun. It is more strenuous then I thought it would be, but I would do all over again. I have an pretty big fear of heights and did the rappelling part of this trip and do not regret it at all!

Christian is a great guide, with a beautiful singing voice and a lot of humor. The nature of the area is breathtakingly beautiful, the water at this time of year (autumn 22) is rather breathtaking.

We had a great day canoeing down the Cetina with Marin as our guide. It was so much fun, and such beautiful scenery the whole way. Would definitely recommend
