€746 to €930 per person sharing a twin room, depending on the month: May from €746, June and September from €846, July and August from €930. Single rooms are €874, €1,102 and €1,218 for the same months, on request. That covers four nights B&B at the 4★ Hotel Plaža Omiš, three guided activities with all equipment, transfers to every activity, activity insurance and photos. April 2027 pricing is on request.

You don't have to share, and you don't have to pay extra if you don't mind. The headline price is for two women sharing a twin. Booking alone, we pair you with another solo guest where possible and you pay the twin-share price with no supplement. If you'd rather have your own room, single occupancy is available on request subject to availability, at the single price for that month.

It's a small group, and a departure runs from a minimum of 2 participants — so a date won't be cancelled underneath you just because it hasn't filled. Two friends booking together are enough to make it go.

No. All three activities run at beginner level, and each starts with a briefing and technique instruction from your guide. Many guests are trying at least one of them for the first time. The only requirements are swimming ability and a reasonable level of general fitness.

Yes. The canyoning day crosses deep pools that can't be walked around, so basic swimming ability is required and non-swimmers can't take part. You don't need to be a strong or fast swimmer — comfortable in deep water is the standard.

A reasonable level of general fitness. Kayaking is an easy day, rafting is easy to moderate, and canyoning is the hardest — roughly four hours of walking, swimming and scrambling with breaks. If you can walk for a few hours and swim comfortably, you can do this trip. There's no pace to keep up with, and jumps are always optional.

All four nights are at Hotel Plaža Omiš, a four-star hotel beside the main sandy beach, a short walk from the old town and the Cetina River. Breakfast is included. Because the hotel is in the middle of town, your free afternoons need no further planning.

Breakfast every morning is included. Lunches and evening meals aren't, which leaves you free to eat where you like — Omiš has a wide range of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, at local rather than Split prices.

It's a genuine adventure activity run under conditions designed for its hazards. Nobody moves through the canyon unguided, every guest wears a wetsuit, helmet and safety equipment, and the activity is rerouted or stopped when water levels make it unsafe. Jumps are optional throughout. Our guides are local professionals who work this canyon all season, IRF-certified for rafting and registered with HGSS, the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service.

Eva Piperevska, who lives locally and organises the trip from arrival to departure, and Marinela Brzović, a local adventure guide who has been guiding in the Omiš and Cetina area since 2013. Both are with the group throughout the week.

Split Airport (SPU) — about 50 km and an hour from Omiš, with seasonal direct flights from most major UK and Irish airports between April and October. Zadar is roughly 140 km away and Dubrovnik roughly 230 km. Airport transfers aren't included in the trip price, but we can arrange a private return transfer from Split Airport for €80 per person. The airport shuttle bus into Split is around €8 if you'd rather make your own way.

June and September are the best balance — warm sea, a lively river, 25–28°C and a much quieter town. Late April and May bring the highest water on the Cetina and the best rafting, with cooler swimming. July and August are hottest and busiest, with the warmest sea and the gentlest river.

Three differences. The group is women only and hosted by two women all week. The accommodation is the four-star Hotel Plaža Omiš rather than a three-star hotel or apartment. And the order is kayaking, then rafting, then canyoning, easing into the week instead of starting on the river. The mixed 5-day trip runs the same three activities from the same base.

Your guide decides each morning, based mainly on river level rather than rain — light rain rarely stops anything and you're getting wet anyway. If an activity can't run safely we move it to another day of the trip where possible, or substitute an alternative of equivalent value. If neither works, that activity is refunded.

Trainers or hiking shoes, water shoes or sandals, swimwear, a towel, a small backpack or dry bag, sun hat and sunglasses, sunscreen and lip balm, and any personal medication. All technical and safety equipment for the three activities is provided, including wetsuits and helmets.
