S Boast2024-06-19What a fabulous morning with Ivan climbing over the beautiful city of Omiš! My 23 year old daughter and I shared this experience and can’t say enough about it or our guide. We not only took in the incredible views on the way up and from the fortress but had wonderful conversation with Ivan learning about the area and Croatian life/perspective!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Richmon Lin2024-05-18Fantastic adventure with great people! Went on a guided climbing tour of Omis that was the highlight of our Croatia trip. The instructors were experienced mountain rescue climbers and passionate members of the community. The whole trip was very professional and we learned tons about the area, culture, and people. The tour was intimate and the instructors were warm and friendly. A must see if you are visiting Croatia!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David2023-10-14Mate, this was journey was wild. It commenced with a friendly and knowledgeable briefing by Moco. The bloke has been doing this for over ten years and has a crazy passion for canyoning within the Omis area. It was reassuring to know we were in capable hands. The canyoning itself was an exhilarating experience, we traversed through narrow gorges, scrambled over rocks, and navigated through cascading waterfalls. Moco was supportive and looking after us, making sure we felt safe the entire way through. This adventure had gorgeous views, breathtaking experiences, and all with the guidance of an excellent tour guide. Definitely a must-do activity that will leave you with memories to treasure for a lifetime. Omis and its canyons are a hidden gem in the heart of Croatia, and this adventure is an absolute highlight that should not be missed.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Monica Saba2023-09-21Fantastic canyoning adventure in Cetina river! The scenery during the entire trip was stunning, but the biggest highlight was the 55-meter abseiling, which offered an incredible view of a beautiful waterfall. We were a small group, and our guide, Ivan, was amazing. His expertise kept us safe and excited. Plus, he spoke perfect English. If you're looking for an adventure immersed in nature, I highly recommend this canyoning trip!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Fabrizio Aresu2023-09-21It was my first time doing canyoning and it couldn't have been better! The canyon of the Cetina river is amazing. We got to enjoy its peace and wonderful views, as well as its most adventurous bits, in a small group of just 5 people. Our guide, Ivan, is extremely experienced and made us feel very safe, with a thorough briefing before starting, and providing all the needed advice as we moved through the canyon. Definitely worth trying if you are spending some time in the Omis area!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Nikoleta Nina Kovacic2023-09-19Absolutely breathtaking experience! I did the canyoning tour 4 times this summer and still can’t get enough of it! This tour is so professionally managed which makes you feel safe all the way through. Moco is always there to help, advise or tell the most interesting stories about the canyon. I highly recommend it! ⭐️Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mia Sodan2023-09-19Jako zanimljiva ruta, prekrasan pogled koji poziva na stajanje na svakom koraku i slikavanje. Vodič Ivan je bio od velike pomoći te mu šaljemo puno pozdrava 😊 Pridružujem se mišljenjima mnogih da je ovo najljepša ferrata 😊 Od srca preporučujem svima!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.leana radić2023-09-18Obožavam prirodu, planinarenje, a kanjoning sam tek otkrila i mogu reći da sam oduševljena! Za one koji vole spoj akcije i prirode, ovo je pun pogodak. Guštali smo u kupanju u rijeci, hodanju po kamenjima, skakanju s litica, spuštanju konopom, plivanju, provlačenju kroz tunel medu stijenama uz prekrasan panoramski pogled. Taj extremni dio spuštanje konopom na 55 metara ne bi bio moguć da nas Ivan nije stručno uputio kako ćemo izvesti. Ivan je prošao cijeli put kanjoninga 1000x i kao član HGSS-a vrlo je profesionalan i siguran vodič što znači da i prvo iskustvo spuštanja konopom ne treba biti strašno. Nakon par sekundi spuštanja, isplati se doživjeti taj prekrasan pogled i adrenalin koji pokreće. Sve preporuke, nećete pogriješiti!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ewan Boyd2023-09-11Went here with family not really knowing what to expect but ended up being one of the most enjoyable activities I've ever done in life. Moco was really helpful, informative and made the whole experience really enjoyable.I felt safe throughout and all safety awareness was to a high standard . The scenery was outstanding. I would recommend doing this and it is suitable for almost everyone. I would 10/10 recommend. I plan on doing this again when come back to CroatiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Luka Podrug2023-09-11This was one of best experiences of my life. Canyoning with Moco is super fun and adventurous. As a big plus I would mention that tour guide is experienced member of Croatian Mountain Rescue Service and after tour you get bunch of photos and videos which is pretty nice. Highly recommend!
