With a Zipline Through the Inland of Croatia
Ziplining tours in Croatia are also present further away from the coast which is a perfect activity for a day trip. One of those zip lines is located in the immediate vicinity of the National Park Plitvice Lakes, so it is worth combining a trip to the zipline with a visit to the national park.
A Thrill of Speed Through the Dense Forests of the Adrenaline Park Plitvice Lakes
The Adrenaline Park Plitvice Lakes is about 3 km from the actual National Park Plitvice Lakes and it features a 300 m long zipline, which can reach a speed of up to 70 km/h! In addition to its speed, the nature will also inspire you, since the zipline leads through dense forests and straight across the canyon of the Korana River. Do not miss this zipline and discover the area around Plitvice Lakes in Croatia from a completely different perspective.
Glide over the Dalmatian Coast
You will come across quite a few zip lines between the Dalmatian cities of Zadar and Dubrovnik which will give you a bird’s eye view of the beautiful coast. Let us present you with the most beautiful zipline tours in Dalmatia.

The ziplines in question are at different heights ranging from 1m to 10m, but all are exhilarating! So spend a day in the Adventure Park Zadar and test your limits on the numerous facilities.
Fly with a Zipline over the Cikola Canyon near Sibenik
Another breathtaking zipline is located near the historic town of Sibenik, more precisely near the National Park Krka. This is the place where the river Cikola flows through the untouched nature of Croatia, as well as the zipline Sibenik leads over the canyon of the river. With a total length of 1,4 km, you have enough time to marvel at the gorgeous surrounding nature. The longest of the three zip lines is 650 m long with the possibility of reaching top speed of up to 70 km/h.

During the tour and while you are waiting for your turn, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the beautiful landscape of the hinterland of Dalmatia and prepare for your next adrenaline rush.
Discover the Beauties of the Cetina River in Omis
The canyon of the river Cetina, where the Zipline Croatia is located, is without a doubt one of the many highlights of Croatia and should, therefore, definitely find itself on your vacation itinerary if you are spending your holiday in Omis. The zip line leads straight across the canyon of Cetina and consists of 8 individual routes. With a total length of 2.1 km, the zipline over the canyon of Cetina is one of the longest in Croatia.

Fly over the Coast of Dubrovnik with a Zipline
The end of our zipline tour is a very special zip line in Dubrovnik. It is around 900 m long and 70 m above the ground. Its best feature? On the one hand, the steel cable runs parallel to the coastline, so that you're literally flying along the coast; on the other hand, you are in the "Superman position" i.e. you are basically lying on your stomach, which makes the flight experience all the more intense. Speeds of up to 100 km/h are possible and definitely not for those with a faint heart.
