Are you tired of being in a hurry? Are you dreaming of experiencing something exciting? So, what would you say about river rafting in Croatia?
What is rafting? Few people embark a pontoon and starts off down the raging, mountainous river by pushing off the paddles. Under the guidance of an instructor (skipper), who is steering the pontoon, again and again, you will get to submerge into the rumbling waters by overcoming the treacherous gorges, cascades and even waterfalls. Nobody stays dry in this adventure! The essence of rafting is to swim along a given distance when utterly being soaked and excited with screams of joy.
What is the best place for rafting in Croatia? Cetina river is one of the most favourite places for extreme sport lovers. The river is 104 km long and it wades through the long and fascinating canyon, between two mountain massifs; Mosor and Biokovo. In the rainy season, it can transform into the rapid and wild river.
On the way to rafting, you will pass by a picturesque Omiš town. Cetina is ideal for senior crafting, combined with water plays and bathing in Studenci waterfall. Along the river banks, there are a number of beautiful straits. The most popular rafting river section is in its lower course, specifically the part from Pavića Bridge to Radmanove Mlinice restaurant. Prior to the rafting, you will be equipped (with life vests, helmets and paddles) as well as instructed by a skier on what to do during the rafting. You will always be left with an unforgettable view of Studenci waterfall and a treacherous Oblaćnik step. An interesting fact is that the Native American Winnetou movie was shot in the area. The Cetina adventure lasts for few hours, however, the memorable rafting will become a life-long experience!!!
