The 15 Best Rafting & River Trips in Croatia

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,817 reviews · 5 - 7 hours · from $64Our pick

Guided kayaking on the Zrmanja River near Zadar, with canyon scenery, waterfalls, rapids, and time to swim in clear water.

“This is the BEST activity you can do when visiting Zadar! We booked the transfer option which was definitely worth it as other options were much more expensive! The only area for improvement would be a pick up point in the old town, but the walk to the McDonald’s pick up point wasn’t too far. Our guide, Ricky (I may be wrong, I can’t remember his name 😣) was super funny and really helpful! You can rent water shoes there for €3 if you don’t already have some, but they’re definitely necessary for this activity! I had never been kayaking before, but it was really easy to get the hang…”

Extreme Cetina canyoning from Split with gear, transport, a 50m waterfall rope descent, and river jumps, swims, and abseils.

“Myself and my husband thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. From start to finish it was very well organised. The instructors Boris & Daniel were very friendly and helpful with a very professional manner that made you feel safe at all times. The scenery was stunning along the way and the water so refreshing and a nice retreat from the circa 30 degree temps. As mentioned in other reviews, a moderate level of fitness is fairly necessary, it's not quite for the faint hearted. The instructors were great with some of the people in the group who were very nervous about the abseil and even managed to gently & considerately coax them…”
