The experience
How do you get from the trailhead to the river without a car? You ride a CF Moto 450L quad bike. An automatic transmission machine that needs no clutch work, so beginners can focus on steering and balance instead of mechanics. The guide walks you through the controls and safety gear at the base before you leave, and the ride covers roughly 40 kilometers across hidden trails and open fields beside the Cetina, the longest and cleanest river in the region. You'll stop at panoramic viewpoints and smaller gems along the way, but the riding itself is the point: the machine handles the terrain, and you handle the machine.
After the ride, you swim in the river during the warmer months (the water is clear enough that you'll see the bottom), and then gather at a private tavern for a homemade picnic. The food is local: cheese, bacon, bread, and bottled water. It's the kind of meal that tastes different when you've just come off a quad bike and out of the water, and it's included in the price.
The whole thing runs 2.5 hours of riding plus time at the river and the meal, so plan for about five hours total. Children from age five can attend if an adult rides with them, and you'll need a valid car license (category B) to operate the quad. The guide speaks English and stays with the group throughout. If the weather turns wet, rain gear is provided.
Is this one for you?Book this ride if you want to operate the quad yourself rather than watch from a passenger seat, and if you're comfortable with moderate physical exertion on uneven terrain. The automatic transmission and beginner-friendly pace make it accessible to families and first-time riders, but you'll need a valid car license and a sense of balance to enjoy it.

Top questions
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Do I need to have ridden an ATV before?
No. The guide covers the controls and safety at the base before you leave, and the automatic transmission means you don't manage a clutch. Just throttle and steering. Beginners are the norm on this ride.
Can my five-year-old come on the ATV riding?
Yes, children from age five can attend, but they must ride as a passenger with an adult on the same quad bike. The adult needs a valid car license to operate the machine.
What is the Cetina River like for swimming?
The Cetina is the longest and cleanest river in the region, and the water is clear. Swimming is included as a stop during the warmer months. In cooler seasons, the swim may not be possible depending on conditions.
What's included in the picnic?
The picnic is a homemade meal prepared at a private tavern with fresh local ingredients: cheese, bacon, bread, and bottled water. It's served after the ride and the river swim.
