2.3-Hour Cetina Canyon Zipline Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,050 reviews · 3 hours · from $94

Meet ZIPLINE Croatia in Omiš, then ride into the Cetina Canyon for eight zip lines stretching 2,100 meters. English-speaking guides fit your gear, teach you on 25-meter practice wires, and support you at every launch and landing. The hike to the first line is the demanding part, especially in hot weather, so bring sturdy shoes and water.

“Overall, this was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. As a person who has been afraid of heights my whole life, this is pretty much my greatest fear. But the guides were great and allowed me to go down tandem with them on two of the biggest runs, which was a huge help. I would say that the hike up is not for the week of heart at all. It’s about 1000 feet up climbing on loose rocks so definitely wear good shoes and bring the water bottle. The hike itself is very energy draining so you also might want to bring some snacks or something to keep your…”

6.Split/Omiš: Cetina River Water Bike Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 91 reviews · from $45

Start 5 km from Omiš and pedal a stable water bike 4 km down the Cetina River, then return. Ivan handles the welcome and refreshments, while Dino follows by motorboat with local details, photos, water, and a tow if your legs give out. The route is scenic, calm, and suitable for beginners with basic fitness.

“We chose to do these water bikes because we’d not done anything like this before and the experience was very different! The views of the river and canyon are a must see and we thought these bikes would be more fun than a standard boat trip. Ivan provided drinks and snacks and stayed behind while Dino was very informative and accompanied on a boat. We chose to do the 5 o’clock tour as the 2 o’clock would have been too hot and this was a good decision. I will say though, the pedalling can become hard work especially after the hour mark. There is a break half way through but…”
