Soar Over Čikola Canyon: Zipline Šibenik — 1.4 km of Aerial Thrills
Clip into a harness and launch across Čikola Canyon: three lines totaling 1.4 km, speeds up to 70 km/h, and panoramic views from 120 to 30 m above the river. This 60-minute excursion outside Šibenik blends raw adrenaline with accessible, family-friendly operation.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive 20–30 minutes early
Check-in, sizing and a safety briefing are required—early arrival avoids rushing and ensures guides can fit harnesses properly.
Wear secure, closed-toe shoes
Sneakers or light hiking shoes keep your feet safe during short approaches and while moving between platforms.
Protect your eyes and devices
Sunglasses with a strap and a chest-mounted action camera are ideal—loose phones and sunglasses can be lost at speed.
Expect variable weather
Wind and rain can cancel runs; book early in your trip or allow a rain day for rescheduling.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small riverside picnic groves and shallow pools along lower Čikola for a quiet post-ride dip
- •A short walk from the parking leads to an unobstructed canyon rim viewpoint used by local photographers
Wildlife
- •Griffon vulture and other raptors riding canyon thermals
- •European otter along quieter stretches of the Čikola River
Conservation Note
The canyon’s karst ecosystem is sensitive—stay on marked approaches, pack out all trash, and follow guide instructions to minimize erosion and disturbance.
The Čikola carved its canyon through Dalmatian karst over millennia; watermills and shepherding defined local livelihoods before tourism brought aerial access.
Photographer's Notes
- • Launch platform for dramatic top-down shots
- • Mid-line platforms to capture motion against the river
