Local Insight:The Cetina River, a kayaker’s paradise, is one of Croatia’s most significant rivers. It carves a 105 km path from the Dinara mountain range to the Adriatic Sea, creating dramatic canyons and powering ancient watermills, all while maintaining a constant, refreshing temperature perfect for paddling.

Paddling the Dalmatian coast as the sun dips below the horizon is a rite of passage. The water turns to liquid gold, the sky blazes with color, and the day’s heat gives way to a serene, warm evening—a moment of pure magic you’ll find on Split’s sunset kayaking tours.

The Žrnovnica River, a hidden gem just outside Split, is where locals go to cool off. Its crystal-clear, cool waters flow from the Mosor mountain, creating a serene, shaded oasis perfect for a peaceful paddle away from the summer crowds—a stark contrast to the vibrant Adriatic Sea.

Unlike a crowded beach, a kayak gives you access to hidden coves, secret river bends, and panoramic views of Split that are impossible to see from land. You’ll glide past ancient cliffs, under historic fortresses, and into the heart of Dalmatia’s natural beauty.
