Canoeing

You have a chance to relax this morning before transferring (15mins) to Han where the canoe safari starts. Each canoe has a guide and seats 6 to 10 people. The journey down the Cetina River takes about 2 ½ hours. This is a very smooth, slow running section of the river and you glide along enjoying the natural peace and tranquillity. The safari ends at the back at the hotel. The rest of the day is free for strolling round the small town of Trilj and exploring on your own or just relaxing in the sun on the hotel’s riverside patio. (BD)

Day

Mountain Biking

Today you have an exciting day cycling through the area. The 50km track follows the rivers and green hills of the Trilj region and touches two eco-villages where you stop for a rest at family farms. After breakfast, you are driven by minibus up into the hills (15mins) where your bikes are waiting for you. After adjusting the bikes to fit you and meeting the guide, you start your ride mid-morning.

Leg 1: To Grab River Spring.
This is a 10-15-kilometre bike ride starting with a long slow climb into the hills followed by an exciting downhill with lots of hairpin bends, all of which you can do at your own pace, until you eventually join a path beside the Cetina River. You stop at the picturesque village of Grab, which features a 600-year old water mill and where you can see the work of a native wood sculptor. You can refresh yourself with cheese and doughnuts and enjoy a drink at the local miller’s house.

Leg 2: Grab River Spring to Bravici Village.
1 ½ hours of light riding is followed by half an hour of harder cycling. There’ll be a refreshment stop in Bravici village.

Leg 3: Bravici Village to Klarici Village and back to hotel.
There’s then a further 2 ½ hours light riding with a refreshment stop at the eco-village of Caporice where you can taste some home- made products such as wine, bread, ham and cheese. Your bike ride ends at the hotel late afternoon or early evening. En route there is plenty of time for rest stops and even to swim in the river. (BD)

Day

Kayaking On The Cetina

Today you transfer to the village of Cikotina Ladja, on the Cetina River, where your kayak trip starts through one of the most beautiful and yet least visited canyons in Europe. Each kayak seats three people. The breathtaking beauty of the canyon will make this four-hour ride an exciting and unforgettable experience. (BD)

 

Day
5

Rafting

After breakfast you transfer to the village of Pensic, on the Cetina River, where the rafting trip starts (those who stayed in the hotel last night will meet you here). This is a faster flowing section of the river with rapids along the way. Excitement mounts as you get kitted up ready to board your rafts. Each raft accommodates 5 to 8 people so you can share the thrills of the exhilarating ride as you surge through the rapids, paddling like fury! After 3 ½ hours of pure adventure, this unforgettable experience ends with refreshments, which gives you time for the adrenaline to subside!

You’ll take a short tour of the city of Omis (where the Cetina River empties into the sea) and then transfer back to the hotel for dinner and a chance to recount your adventures on the river. (BD)

Day

Sinj City & Walking

This morning you transfer (10km) to Sinj, a provincial market town. Sinj is one of Croatia's best-known pilgrimage sites due to a said to be miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary which was brought to Sinj in 1687. Each year on Assumption Day (15 August) the painting is paraded around the town and thousands of people from all over the country walk here to pay their respects. You visit the museum, Church of Our Lady and the fortress

Then you transfer about twenty minutes to Korita. You walk for the afternoon through deserted villages and abandoned meadows. This is an extremely tranquil part of Croatia where the mountains form a stunning skyline. You later return to Korita for your transfer back to the hotel. (BD)

Canyoning

(38m) which create numerous waterfalls, lakes and subterranean tunnels. You’ll spend the next 3-4 hours trekking, descending, and walking through tunnels, floating down rapids and swimming, There is even some abseiling. It’s a day of memorable fun experiences and adrenalin rushes! Much-needed refreshments of local produce are waiting for you when you finish, including some local brandy. You then return to the hotel.
