Ziplining in Omis Croatia
A year ago I made a deal with Vedran, our Croatian friend. “If we come back to Croatia next year we’re going to go ziplining”. We shook hands on it.
Why ziplining? Because neither of us had ever ziplined – and because Omiš (a town close to Split) has the longest ziplines in Croatia. So what better place to do it for the first time?
So the first thing I did when coming back to Croatia was to book our tour with Zipline Croatia.

Here’s a short video to give you an idea of our experience
A few photos:
Practical details: Bring water and closed shoes. Meeting point is at Zipline Croatia’s office in Omiš. From there it’s a 10 minute drive (in their minibus) up the river and into the hills. After a 5 minute walk, we arrived at a training line where they showed us the basics (all very easy). From there it’s about a 10 minute hike to the 1st zipline. The next 2 hours were spent ziplining 8 different lines. The last line finishes near the road. There they pick you up and bring you back to the office in Omiš. Total time: approx 2 ½ hrs.
We had a fantastic time.

Saw a movie where someone did this and died and then the company covered it up.
Thanks Tom, I can always count on you to find the bright side of things.
Thank you Terry 🙂
Thank you very much Paula! 🙂
Vedran is a bit of a clown, that might have been for the camera 🙂 But he was the first time go on the very first line so he’s not missing in balls.
Having said that, yes, he might have had a dribble of pee going down his leg while he was doing it 🙂
Thanks so much Suze! I’m new to doing video so please bear with me – I promise to get better 🙂
I was actually a bit nervous going through the forest, hoping I wouldn’t get smacked by a branch. Loved being high above the forest though with views over the area.
I think, just like paragliding, you’d get over your fear fast. Then you’d be looking to do it again just like I am 🙂
I went through that earlier this year my first time paragliding (in Cape Town) but ended up being easy. Compared to that ziplining even easier. It would take you 2 min and you would be fine 😉
Yes, we decided to do the same over the last year. I’ve done lots of hiking, I’ve paraglided over Cape Town and now ziplined. I thought I’d be scared but when the time came I never had any issues. A hot balloon ride would be great. Skydiving – now there’s something I don’t know if I could do. But I think I would have to give it a shot.
Lissette who’s not an adventure stype person actually bungeed off the Bloukrans bridge in South Africa, the 3rd highest bungee in the world. She acted like it was a piece of cake. So sometimes you never know…
Thanks for the comment Jane. I’d do it again, we had a great time. Just wish the weather had been a bit better, would have been nice to have blue skies.
You know what Laia – I was a little nervous about doing it. And there was an older lady behind me who was freaking out seeing that first line.
But it was easy and after the first couple of lines it just feels natural. Great fun.
