Description

The experience begins in Split with a 45-minute transfer by air-conditioned van to the canyon. After receiving premium equipment and a safety briefing, you start with a 10-minute hike then continue with a combination of hiking, swimming, cliff jumping, river trekking, and natural slides through emerald pools and clear river paths.

One unique feature is crossing a 100-metre man-made tunnel carved through solid rock, originally part of a hydroengineering project. The route offers multiple viewpoints of the canyon’s raw landscape, blending safety, excitement, and discovery under the guidance of experienced local professionals.
