Welcome to Rio Rafting! We are a group of rafting enthusiasts on a mission to provide the best rafting experience possible.
Not just for the adrenaline rush, but for the memories, the laughter, and the connection to nature and each other. Our team is made up of five good friends who’ve spent years working as skippers for other companies. We’ve seen it all, the highs, the lows, and the missed opportunities. That’s exactly why we knew we could create something that truly reflects who we are.
We created Rio Rafting because we wanted to offer something authentic, a place where people feel welcome, safe, and free to fully enjoy the magic of the river. With years of experience navigating rapids, plus certifications in first aid and swift water rescue, we’re not just passionate, but trained, tested, and ready to guide you every step of the way.
And the best part?
We do it all together, as a team. From prepping the gear to cracking jokes on the riverbank, we are working side-by-side to make sure your adventure is as unforgettable as it is fun. We take care of everything you need, from high-quality helmets and life jackets to expert guiding and safety. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure and a willingness to get wet.
This isn’t just our job, but our passion, so come paddle with us, laugh with us, and discover what makes Rio Rafting more than just a tour!

5. May 2025.Wat hebben we een heerlijke raftingtrip gehad vandaag in een van Martins boten. Doordat het nog voorseizoen is was het heel rustig op het water en dat terwijl het water... read more juist zo vroeg in het seizoen perfect is voor raften. Peter, onze gids, heeft echt een feestje gemaakt van deze dag. Ondanks dat de rapids maximaal klasse 3 zijn was het vooral voor de kids (11 en 13) een heerlijk avontuurlijke beleving. Zonder twijfel hier boeken: perfecte prijs kwaliteit.

28. April 2025.A fantastic experience that my family will never forget. I researched before I went & glad I did. Very well organised as stated in 'get your guide'. We were led to the... read more gorge by Martin & team & were selected to have a very good guide, he was brilliant with my whole family & was very knowledgeable of the river. This isn't for the faint hearted but I'd recommend anyone that is in the surrounding area to book this experience with Rio Rafting & you will not be disappointed. I watched a few different companies operating in the river & Rio Rafting was by far the most organised, focusing on safety & organisation. What a lovely country Croatia is & viva Hajduk Split to the guys that run this company.

This is the perfect rafting experience. Small groups, funny and motivated staff and they don’t even try to upsell you into buying photos. The river is very calm in summer, most... read more rapids don’t even touch on level 2. That makes it enjoyable as you can relax and enjoy the landscape. We did the “cave experience” which is something I never did: climbing 🧗 into Dark cave and jumping in a pool deep black and cold. Which is a nice contrast to the hot weather. After the tour they send us a link to the photos for free wich I really liked. So to summarize it up: a perfect day that will not push you in an adrenaline rush but will make you feel relaxed and entertained. Perfect.

19. July 2024.Book here! What a fantastic experience with my wife and 12-year-old daughter! We contacted Rio Rafting through an easy WhatsApp link. We got a response within a few minutes, and everything... read more was clear! Quickly arranged and reserved. We received the starting location link and went there the next day. We encountered some traffic and arrived just in time. We had even forgotten to get drinks. The staff offered to fill our bottles, which was super nice! The rafting trip itself was a great experience with young, enthusiastic, but definitely experienced instructors. Passing through the cave was a special experience, and the cliff jump of about 5 meters completely topped it off. All in all, a fantastic experience with experienced and friendly people guiding the trip. Highly recommended! They even took great photos and videos for free with their GoPro, shared them with us within a day, and we could download them!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a thrilling rafting adventure organized by Rio Rafting, and I must say it was an absolute blast from start to finish!... read more From the moment we arrived at the picturesque riverside location, it was evident that we were in for an unforgettable experience. First and foremost, our guide was an absolute gem. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does, he instantly put our group at ease. His expertise and experience on the river were evident as he expertly navigated us through the exhilarating twists and turns of the rapids. One of the highlights of our rafting trip was our unexpected journey into a hidden cave along the river. It was like something out of an adventure movie! Our guide skillfully guided us into the cave, and inside, we were treated to a mesmerizing display of stalactites and stalagmites. The eerie beauty of the cave was an unexpected bonus to our already thrilling adventure. But the excitement didn't stop there! Rio Rafting had even more surprises in store for us. Cliff jumping was an exhilarating option offered during our trip, and it added a whole new level of excitement to our adventure. The adrenaline rush of leaping off a cliff into the refreshing river below is something I'll never forget. It was an absolute blast! The attention to safety throughout the trip was also commendable. Our guide made sure we were all equipped with the necessary safety gear and provided clear instructions on how to navigate the rapids and enjoy the cliff jumping safely. This made the experience even more enjoyable, as we felt confident and secure throughout the journey. The natural beauty of the river and its surroundings was simply breathtaking. The lush greenery, clear waters, and the thrill of the rapids combined to create an unforgettable backdrop for our adventure. Rio Rafting truly knows how to showcase the beauty of the river and its surroundings. In conclusion, our rafting trip with Rio Rafting exceeded all expectations. The friendly guide, the unexpected cave exploration, and the heart-pounding cliff jumping all combined to create a truly unforgettable experience. If you're seeking an adventure that blends excitement, natural beauty, and the warmth of a friendly guide, I wholeheartedly recommend Rio Rafting. It's an adventure you'll cherish forever!
