Our active base for families in Croatia is located very close to the historical Unesco old towns of Trogir and Split. Take a short 30 minute drive into the Dalmatia countryside, and you’ll soon locate our small family run hotel nestled alongside the Cetina river. This amazing family adventure week offers the perfect blend of land and water based activities.

From the untouched rural gems to the pulsating white waters of vast deep canyons. Our Croatia family activity holidays are developed for a wide spectrum of abilities and ages, from restless teenagers to active Mums & Dads.

If you fancy vast canyons, countryside biking trails, dipping down waterfalls and kayaking rapids, then our Croatia kayaking and cycling holidays will offer the perfect blend. The weather is warm, the food is sourced locally & served fresh and our swimming pool is always at the ready to cool you, from the summer heat.

Day 1: Welcome & arrival day

Our guide will greet you in Split or meet you in the airport terminal. The transfer to Trilj is very quick and soon you’ll be entering the Dalmatia countryside, to begin your activity holidays dedicated to teenage children. Check-in to your family run hotel, unpack and start to unwind. Tomorrow the fun begins.

Day 2: Canoe tour

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll take a short transfer to a typically quiet village where our water fun begins. The Cetina River is our host for the day, offering a peaceful flow, which adds to the air of tranquillity. Home-life will soon be forgotten, as we paddle and play games along the river. The tour neatly concludes back at the hotel. Time to relax in the swimming pool or explore the surrounding countryside. There are many marked trails for walks and bikes.

Day 3: Mountain biking

Kayaking and cycling holidays in Croatia are highly regarded by our family guests due to the pristine environments they come into contact with. This is not mass tourism! Our routes are designed with nature and culture in mind. We do have a support vehicle, but rarely do our groups ever need it. With medium difficultly we ride along countryside roads, pass quiet villages, and stop by natural springs & waterfalls. At a tranquil village, we stop for a farm house snack and discover their 600 year old working watermill. The tour ends at the hotel.

Day 4: Kayaks or banana canoes

Depending on water levels, you will either be using ‘sit on-top’ kayak floats or our banana shaped mini rafts. Sitting single file, in two’s or three’s, you will have to work together, taking on waterfalls, many impressive grade 3 rapids and slip streams. Today, really does offer an unforgettable feeling, as each vessel is captained by you, and not by our guides. Pull together as a team, splashing down the white waters in one of Croatia’s most stunning canyons.

Day 5: Rafting & beach day

Part 1: After a big breakfast, we are off to discover an incredible valley with some very wild waters. Alongside your new friends, you’ll be riding down another challenging section of the Cetina River. The rapids here are bigger, so we’ll be sitting in the 8-man floats, which will be guided by a certified captain. Get ready for strong currents, bumping off the rocks and big bubbling waters. Half way down we’ll stop to catch our breath, swim and soak in the tranquil vibes.

Part 2: The best thing about cycling and rafting holidays in Croatia is that ‘the end’, is as good as the start. And at the end of our water explorations, we journey to Omis, a stunning coastal town. Omis has lovely beaches, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, and our guests will have the afternoon here. From excellent sea food restaurants to shopping, this pirate town is a great finish to a big day out! There certainly won’t be any restless teenagers on the drive home to Trilj.

Day 6: Chill day

There are many optional extras that can be booked for your free day, from horse riding to day trips to Split and the beach. Bikes can be rented and hiking routes can be discussed with our guides. Don’t forget, that the hotel has a swimming pool, sun terrace lounging area, games room and free WIFI.

Day 7: Canyoning

Action packed holidays in Croatia must include a trip into the Dalmatian canyon’s! Discover a 40 metre waterfall, underground lakes, subterranean tunnels, and slip stream gorges. Splash, jump, and slide along with your new friends and family, in this 100% natural water world of fun! Float along this ancient canyon, and discover the true gift of nature. Those that have energy left, can hike to the Roman ruins near to the hotel. For anyone else, time to work on that tan!

Day 8: Departure

Airport transfers included or we will take you onto your next destination. Do ask our travel managers about extension possibilities. We hope you have enjoyed your stay.

You’ll by staying 7 nights in a small family owned 3 star hotel. It’s run by a wonderful Croatian family, that truly care for their guests. The hotel offers twin/triple/quad rooms – that are all air conditioned, en-suite and cleaned every day.

Surrounding the hotel is a plethora of nature, offering many more sporting possibilities. From internationally marked biking trails and easy-moderate hiking routes, to horse riding and tennis courts. Of course, this multi sport family trip to Croatia might seem to focus on sport, but it’s been cleverly designed to balance the need for relaxation.

The hotel is also nestled next to the Cetina river, and there are many swimming & bathing spots nearby. If you don’t want to relax in the river, then enjoy our swimming pool and sun terrace. Perfect for lounging about, and cooling off.

Our adventure base is in the heart of Trilj, close to restaurants, super markets and cafes. We promise this will be a great place to rest and disconnect from everyday life. Everyday, you will wake to a fantastic breakfast and be fully energised for kayaks and biking in Croatia. Every evening, as part of your stay with us, we will serve a fantastic 3 course meal.

Excellent adventure holiday in Croatia’s Dalmatia. Your accommodation in Trilj was very good & welcoming staff. Activities were extremely well organised, with experienced guides that made the days alot of fun. We certainly enjoyed the variety from canyoning and cycling to kayaks to white water rafting. My daughter and wife booked the horse riding locally and also said it was a great addition. Maybe included for the future? As part of the week ? Our hosts Neven, was friendly, fun, informative & enthusiastic throughout. We felt like nothing was too much trouble for them. Green World helped book 4 nights extension on Brac island, which i wouldn’t miss, if you have the time. The hotel they found for us, was superb. We would come to Croatia again, but i quite fancy your GOZO trip for next year.
chill and thrill

This was our 3^rd family trip with you. Turkey is still our favourite, but i must say this came very close to bettering it. Your staff were exceptional and without a doubt, you’ve created a perfect adventure base for families with teenagers. The balance of chill and thrill was well delivered. Top tips? Hmmm, waterproof sun cream a must (i got burnt), hat for canoe safari, water shoes for pebble beaches, pizza restaurant opposite the hotel and maybe kayak gloves for paddling.
something for everyone

Croatia really does deliver the colour, fun and magic! Photos and videos can only go so far, so you really must come here to feel the essence and power of nature. There is daily excitement with water falls and gushing rapids but there is nothing overly frightening or dangerous. Your adventure staff have done very well to design a holiday that delivers something for everyone. Our two teenagers are 13 and 18, so its getting increasingly difficult to find a suitable trip to keep them both happy. We were also very happy to hear that there were already 3 families booked on with the same ages! All families got on really well throughout the trip, we’ve swapped numbers and will be meeting up again later this year. Hotel was excellent, bettered my expectations and food was very good. The receptionist was a delightful girl aswell, very smiley and worked so hard! My favourite day was the water rafting down Cetina R iver. The canyon was beautiful especially in the middle, where we jumped out and swam in the rapids. My husband enjoyed the biking trails around the hotel, giving me plenty of quiet time lol The girls chilled by the pool or were off around the hotel. Trilj is definitely a very safe place to come and stay, so made the parents feel very relaxed indeed (especially after the good wines we tried!) I must now add a few words for the amazing guides. Throughout the trip, they were a marvellous team. Easy company, hilarious at times and full of beans! Green World is very safety conscious and the guides made you feel very calm. The trip really wouldn’t have been the same without your guides, please do praise them from us. Hope this helps, thanks again. Rgds, KG x
amazing weekend

I was actually told about this adventure holiday in Croatia from a friend of a friend and seeked you out. I had heard this part of the world was incredible and it was. Our group had an amazing weekend, it felt a lot longer and was extremely good value for money. Surprisingly, Trilj had a little bit of a nightlife, and the weather was sun, sun and sun – not bad! My favourite activity was the biking (I’m a keen mountain bike enthusiast) which we all enjoyed, even my wife, who never bikes with me. I think as a group the rafting was laughs per paddle, white water rafting is a lot of fun and not too strenuous, and the extra afternoon in Omis is great. We found an excellent pizzeria, 2 rounds of drinks and the bill was only £7.00 ahead. Being a man that likes value for money, I was rather happy about this. Not sure what else to say, apart from thanks to your company for an excellent experience, I shall look forward to your next adventure proposals.

Great with families
As young spirited grandparents we had reservations about taking our two teenager grand children aged 19 and 16 on a sea kayaking holiday in Croatia, but we need not have worried at all. Firstly, there we other teemagers and other families. So we had the nice fortune of having like minded people on this trip….
