Once you’ve checked the bikes and had consolation with the guide you will have the chance to cycle the 20 – 30 kilometres mountain biking track (medium difficulty range) following through three rustic villages, the beautiful rivers and luscious green hills of the Trilj region. The tour will then stop at a lovely family farm for a short break before setting off to complete the journey.




Leg 1: Hotel - Grab River Spring.

The first leg of the journey is a light bike ride of about 4.5 kilometres along the Cetina River. On arriving at the beautiful little village of Grab you will be able to explore its 600-year old water mills, classified as historical monuments and indulge in a refreshment of domestic doughnuts, cheese and drinks at the local mill!



Leg 2: Grab River Spring - Bravici Village.

The first leg of the journey was an enjoyable light ride to be followed by half an hour of a more challenging one. From here you will travel over Croatia’s scenic landscapes until you arrive for a short refreshment break in Bravici village before setting off on the final leg.





Leg 3: Bravici Village - Klarici Village - Hotel.

Each raft accommodated between 5 & 8 people, perfect for two family groups and larger groups.



The exhilarating experience of white water rafting through the maze of cliffs and river rapids is truly unforgettable and you will almost definitely fall in love with the magnificently beautiful Cetina River.

Sinj is one of Croatia’s best-know pilgrimage sites since 1687, as people have continuously come to witness the miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary. It is a marvellous day out and a recommendation from us to see the astounding town of Sinj. Dinner and accommodation at the Hotel included.

After a late breakfast, you will have a good opportunity to get some shopping and any closing walks around the town before you unfortunately have to say you farewells and head to the airport for your departure.

Reviews

Emily Green - I will grade it as excellent of course.

The hotel sits in a cool and pretty river valley surrounded by mountains. Our children swam in the river every afternoon and counted lizards and multicoloured butterflies on the way there and back. During the day activities are arranged by the hotels owner's brother. He will sort groups and grade activities (canoeing, canyoning, cycling etc) so that everyone is happy with the pace and company. These can be prebooked (Green World) or arranged on arrival, and are set in a surrounding nature reserve which is amazingly tourist free considering its unspoilt beauty. Rooms are large and clean, and staff are friendly and either speak excellent English or are keen to practice with guests.The owner particularly was brilliant throughout our stay. When I turned up with an injury that worsened I was taken to hospital and looked after as if I was a member of his family. Overall I would recommend this as a hotel for people who love nature, water, a bit of healthy activity and who want to be treated as if they are an asset to a small locally run family business." I will grade it as excellent of course. Emily Green

Debbie Potts - unique and fun

This is a truly an amazing place to switch off and absorb some incredible landscapes. Neaven has to be the best host ever and looked after us so so well, leading us off for a different adventure each sunny day. We spent time exploring around small villages, towns, nature trails, canyons and rivers. The countryside surrounding Trilj is gorgeous (own exporation recommended) We even hit the beach one day and worshipped the sun gods! Warm crystal clear water - not bad at all. We stayed for 10 days (extending the program slightly) and went to a different place each day. Loved Trogir and split is excellent for tourists also. The variety of this week, with beaches and adventure holiday sports really did amaze us all. A real treat and highlight was the restaurant serving delicious food each evening to us. I cannot remember all the names of the specially prepared dishes but each evening we tried something new. We loved it and so did the kids (phew!!) Perhaps one of the unique things about this holiday is the friendliness of all the guests, ,locals and guides. We met some lovely people during our stay from all over Europe and UK, its a very special place. Its been a special holiday.

Charly - Charning family posse

We had a fabulousholiday. Croatia was beautiful, the adventure activities were fun, and the hotel was better than expected. Not perfect but great. The personal guidance we had from the green world staff was second to none. The food was fresh local cuisine and cooked ever so well. Although sometimes the days were strenuous, you could opt out of any activites if you felt they were too beginning to be too much. The staff were so helpful and you really feel you get to see the true sides of Croatia's personalities, with its friendly people and outstanding scenery. Our family has travelled alot in Europe and this has to be one of the best experiences. Great multi adventure for sure!

Helen Wilkinson - Can't wait to book again!

I booked this holiday for my son, 11, so taking part in all the activities with other children was great. We both would have liked a bit more challenging activities. I loved the old cities we visited & country side. Excellent holiday concept, activities for all the family to take part in. I would definitely book another 1 next year in another country.

Geissmann Family - Fantastic activities!

The activities were fantastic and the scenery amazing. All the staff in the hotel and the guides were local - they were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The activities were nearly all based on the river and were muscle-powered - so no polluting motors! It was an excellent holiday enjoyed by children (aged 11,13,14,16,17) and adults alike. We could do as much or as little as we liked - with no pressure. Everything was well organized and safety always came first.

Henslow Family - Loved the rafting!

The rafting was our favourite but everything you arranged for us was excellent. Start to finish they did the job perfectly. Our kids loved the food, which is no mean feat and the weather and nature was simply divine. Thanks again!

Kathy Zepetti - Fab for restless teenagers!

Like most teenagers our kids are restless so we choose Green World Holidays because a) we had heard a lot of nice things about Croatia and b) we wanted pre arranged activities so the whole family could join in together. I have to say it was superb. Nevan and Sime our guides were brilliant, everything was no trouble and the whole experience was first class, fun and somehow still re-energising. Thanks for your recommendation and organisation!

Hanley Family - Near perfect holiday!

I would rate this holiday a 4.5 stars (a near perfect mark). Trilj itself had little to offer but the adventure & people were fabulous. Hotel & food wonderful. Full marks there for sure! The balance of relaxation & adrenaline was just right. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure and fun, wants to experience Croatia without too many tourists and yet wants to feel well looked after.
