Begin your journey in the charming town of Omiš, nestled at the mouth of the emerald-green Cetina River. Surrounded by dramatic mountains, the sparkling Adriatic Sea, and the wild beauty of the Cetina canyon, Omiš is unlike any other place in Croatia.

Once known as the stronghold of the legendary Omiš Pirates, this town ruled the seas for over 200 years. Their ships dominated the Adriatic, and their spirit still lives on in the narrow stone streets, hidden fortresses, and local stories passed down through generations.

Before or after your boat trip, take a moment to climb up to the iconic Mirabella Fortress. Perched above the town, this medieval fortress offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Omiš, the river, and the sea. It was once a key defensive point for the pirates – from here, they could spot enemy ships long before they arrived.

Step onto the boat and begin your peaceful journey along the Cetina River. This relaxing ride covers around 6 km (30 minutes one way) and takes you deep into untouched nature, far from the crowds and noise.

As the boat gently glides through the canyon, witness towering cliffs rising dramatically on both sides, crystal-clear river water reflecting the sky, and lush greenery creating a calm and refreshing atmosphere. Pass beneath the impressive Omiš Bridge, a modern structure that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding natural landscape and symbolises the connection between the past and the present.

Along the way, see the statue of Mile Gojsalić, a symbol of courage and sacrifice. Her storey is one of the most powerful legends of this region. According to tradition, she sacrificed her life to save her people from invaders, becoming an eternal symbol of bravery and freedom.
