The best solo trip I have done ..ever. The whole company is very professional and a pleasure to use.
Eva kept the whole week going smooth with updates, photos and info needed everyday. Tony is an amazing calm in any panic and absolutely amazing at what he does. He has a way of making everyone feel safe and comfortable no matter the language barrier. Mitch was like a walking god from GOT. I've never seen such good looking dude. Darmir the big boss man...what a dude. He went out of his way not only for me but others in the group. I will definitely be back. Omis is my home away from home now.
I'll be telling everyone I know to go omis and seek out malduk adventures. Thank you so so sooo much. Memories made to last a life time.

Thank you to everyone at Malduk Adventures for an unforgettable holiday! I booked a week long tour, staying in Omiš and was picked up every day for a new adventure.

Eva was always very helpful organising what I was doing the next day, even helping me out when I was unwell on the first day. Dado was always great company on the drive out and back each day, I learned a lot about Croatia! He was also happy to make some rearrangements when one day was disrupted by torrential rain, so I didn’t miss out on anything. All the guides very professional, welcoming, reassuring and a lot of fun! Thank you Toni, Nikola, Mić for your time and effort.

All the activities were a lot of fun but the standout for me was canyoning. I have done this once before elsewhere but this was beyond what I expected. Absolutely stunning location, beautiful clear water (like everywhere else around Omiš) and so much fun scrambling over the rocks in and out of the water. There were also some big (optional) jumps for the ultimate adrenaline rush.

Malduk would be my first choice to recommend an active holiday to a friend or even for my next holiday

We booked a rafting tour with Malduk Adventures. The service was very friendly.

The rafting tour is a must have for guys who like to do something in the nature with a bit of adventure. We had a beautiful tour along the river with exiting moments of fast rafting. The skipper (his name is Toni) was also very good. He explained everything, brought attention to important safety things and he is good guy for fun and explore such an adventure.

Besides the nature, we stopped by a waterfall where you ca drink directly from the hill.

The whole experience was nice journey. In summertime it is also a good family activity. Rafting sounds extreme but this event is definitely also something for beginners.

Thanks for this great day.

My wife and I booked the Extreme Canyoning Tour and our tour guide was Mitch, who was very personable, easy going and funny! He made sure we had a great time with plenty of photos along the way. He is a top guide and I highly recommend booking with Malduk!!! If you're looking for a guide who will have genuine conversations and talk about Croatia/Split, this is your tour.

We did the rafting tour down Cetina river and we had the time of our life! Really a 10 out of 10. Sanja is a great captain who was firm in control but also made us laugh a lot. And Damir runs a tight organization and is very helpful and kind. During the trip there was also time for swimming, rope jumping, cliff diving and dipping under a waterfall. A great day for anyone! Highly recommendable.
