We had a fantastic time rafting with a great guide- Dario- who made the experience very enjoyable! We paid for the transfer from Split which went very smoothly so I'd recommend that if you don't have a car. The rafting was not too strenuous but still with exciting rapids. You also get the opportunity to go into a cave and do cliff jumping which was fun too. Would highly recommend!

Everything was very pleasant. The riding instructor was attentive and very professional, she offered to take care of our horses a bit. The quad allowed us to discover magnificent landscapes in a natural setting. A real moment of change of scenery in the heart of Dalmatia, to recommend without hesitation.

Was incredible, the river is beautiful, the people are really kind and friendly, the activity has different things from other raftings and the weather was perfect. I completely recommend this one.

An experience not to be missed especially if you have never been rafting before. Fantastic scenery and not too demanding overall.

Great experience with great guides. highly recommended
