Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
Cetina Canyon is a 30-minute drive from Split. You can take a bus to the town of Omis and begin hiking from there or, for a more flexible and customizable day, rent a car and drive to the river to find your perfect spot.
When to Get There
It’s best to visit Cetina Canyon during the daytime, as the area is rural and can be dangerous for inexperienced hikers after dark. The Canyon is ideal during the summer months, when the weather is warm, sunny, and clear, and the water is best for swimming, rafting, and kayaking.
Along the River
Boating down the long stretch of the Cetina River takes you through rural parts of Croatia, where you can truly admire the natural beauty of the area. The town of Omis sits at the intersection of the river and the Adriatic Sea, and contains historical fortresses and churches. The tiny village of Cetina also sits along the route of the river.

Hiking and connecting with nature on the trails of Central Dalmatia, Croatia
Omis is a small Central Dalmatian town and harbour 25 km away from Split, situated in the mouth of the Cetina river, with beautiful beaches surrounded with massive gorges.
Without any doubt, the Cetina River is one of the most beautiful places in Croatia for freshwater kayaking, white water rafting, and many more activities. It is situated in a luscious region surrounded by quaint little villages, it is the most water-rich river in Dalmatia and it's very important, both historically and archaeologically.
The inhabitants of medieval Omis were pirates who for almost two centuries ruled the seas from Omis to Dubrovnik, and their ships were a symbol of retaliation, courage and strength. Today barren cliffs of the Mosor Mountain and the Dinara of Omis Mountain watch over the town and the spirit of past times can still be felt everywhere.
This beautiful nature of one of the most diverse parts of Croatia will surely take your breath away.
