The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive on time

Operators run strict schedules; enter Zagrebacka ulica 56 into your maps app and plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early.

Secure loose items

Use straps or leave phones in pockets—anything loose can be lost or distract you mid-line.

Dress for wind

Bring a light windbreaker; temperatures and gusts at Srđ can be noticeably cooler than sea level.

Hydrate before departure

A short hike or transfer to the launch can raise your heart rate; drink water beforehand and accept the provided bottled water.
