Fly the Adriatic: 900-Meter Zipline Above Dubrovnik’s Cliffs

Fly the Adriatic: 900-Meter Zipline Above Dubrovnik’s Cliffs

Launch in a superman pose and race 900 meters over the Adriatic at up to 100 km/h. This coastal zipline near Dubrovnik pairs technical safety with cinematic views of cliffs, oak forest, and Lokrum Island — a short, high-adrenaline way to see the Dalmatian coast.

The Experience

Before You Go

Mind the weight limits

Operators enforce a 50–110 kg range; guests outside this range won’t be allowed to ride for safety reasons.

Secure loose items

Phones and hats can fly; use a tether or locker and trust the provided goggles and helmet for eye protection.

Arrive by public transit

Take buses from Gruž Main Bus Station to Dubac to avoid limited parking and afternoon traffic.

Book near golden hour

Late afternoon light sharpens cliffs and enriches sea color, but check wind conditions — operators cancel for high winds.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the short coastal trail near the landing platform for craggy viewpoints few tourists see
  • Boat to Lokrum Island after your ride for quiet bays and botanical gardens

Wildlife

  • Yellow-legged gulls
  • Mediterranean lizards

Conservation Note

Operators limit runs when conditions threaten cliffside vegetation or seabird colonies; visitors are asked not to disturb flora and avoid littering to protect fragile coastal habitat.

The Dalmatian coast’s cliffs are part of a long karst landscape shaped by tectonic uplift and sea-level change; Dubrovnik’s maritime culture grew from these accessible harbors and rocky coves.
