Chasing a proper adrenaline hit near Split? The ZipLine at Omiš flies you across the Cetina canyon on a series of steel wires — one of the most thrilling day trips in Dalmatia, and only about an hour from the city. It suits anyone reasonably active from around age 12, runs spring to autumn, and works best paired with a private transfer so you arrive relaxed and leave buzzing. Here's everything you need to know.
What is the ZipLine at Omiš?
Set in the canyon behind the old pirate town of Omiš, the zipline is a guided course of around eight wires strung across the Cetina gorge, totalling roughly 2,100 metres of flying. The longest wire runs several hundred metres, and at the highest point you're up to about 150 metres above the canyon floor — with views straight down to the river and out toward the sea.
Trained instructors clip you in, brief you and ride the course with you, so all you do is step off and soar. It's genuinely exhilarating and consistently one of the highest-rated adventures in the region — a highlight among the best day trips and excursions from Split.
Where is it, and how do you get there?
The zipline base is just outside Omiš, about 30 km — under an hour — from Split. The easiest way there is a private transfer to Omiš: a fixed €45 per vehicle in a sedan (one-way, peak season, up to three passengers), confirmed before you pay and taken door-to-door. No parking hunt, no navigating narrow canyon lanes — your driver knows exactly where the meeting point is.
Want the car to wait and bring you back once you've landed? Our chauffeur service in Split is built for exactly that kind of day out.

What the experience is like
After a short drive up the canyon, you're kitted out with a harness, helmet and gloves and given a ground briefing and a practice run. Then you work through the wires one by one, each a little longer or higher than the last, gliding over the Cetina river and pine-covered cliffs. Guides manage every launch and landing, so beginners feel safe while the course still delivers a real rush.
The whole experience takes around two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half hours including kit-up and the walk between platforms. You finish near Omiš, where your driver is waiting to whisk you back to Split — or on to lunch by the river.
Who can do it, and what to bring
- Age and fitness: generally from age 12, with weight limits the operator confirms on booking; you need to be reasonably mobile for short walks between platforms.
- Wear: closed-toe trainers, comfortable clothes, and tie back long hair.
- Bring: sunglasses with a strap, sunscreen, and a small amount of cash; a secured phone or action camera if you want photos.
- Leave behind: loose valuables — your driver can keep bags safe.
Good to know before you book
- Season: roughly April to October, weather permitting.
- Weather: high wind or storms can pause the course for safety — we keep an eye on conditions and rebook if needed.
- Price: the zipline is offered as a custom quote rather than a fixed online rate, so you get a package suited to your group. Ask on the excursion page.
