Zipline Croatia, Omis
Zipline Croatia is one of the oldest established and top rated ziplines in the country, located just outside the fun town of Omis. (The company does have an office in central Omis, however, where you can book and to meet your instructors.) This high wire will see you zipping high above the beautiful Cetina River canyon, with the gorgeous natural surroundings just the thing for your high adventure activity.
Zipline Croatia is in fact a series of eight ziplines totalling 2,100 metres in length and at a height of 150 metres above the ground. The longest zipline of the eight is 700 metres in length, and the whole activity takes around two and a half hours.
This zipline is open to participants aged 7 and above, meaning that even kids can enjoy the experience! The instructors will be able to verify whether the child in question can descend by themselves, or will need to ride the zipline in tandem with an adult.
A “flight” on this zipline costs €65 per person.

Panorama Zipline, Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is obviously one of the most stunning destinations in Croatia, and you only have to glimpse the city’s Old Town to know why. What about viewing the Old Town from high above whilst zipping along…on a zipline?!

The whole adventure takes three hours, which includes short transfers to the main part of the city. The whole experience costs €50 per person.

Zipline Du The Wire, Dubrovnik
Another option for Dubrovnik – and the longest coastal zipline in the country, stretching out over 900 metres!
