Details

Just a short drive from the Dalmatian coast, Waterworld d.o.o. invites adventure seekers to push their limits at the Zipline Omis Adventure, perched above the dramatic Cetina canyon in Croatia. Located 3 km from the historic town of Omiš, this zipline course stretches across eight steel cables that thread through rugged karst cliffs, dense Mediterranean shrubland, and the turquoise flow of the Cetina River far below. The centerpiece is a heart-pounding 700-meter cable that catapults riders 150 meters above the canyon floor, delivering unrivaled views and a surge of adrenaline.

The Cetina canyon itself is a geological marvel carved over millennia by the Cetina River, offering a mix of steep limestone walls and lush greenery. This terrain makes Waterworld’s zipline a standout in Croatia’s outdoor scene; it combines high-speed thrills with a raw encounter of nature rarely accessible by foot or boat. Local guides ensure safety and provide insight into the area’s natural and cultural heritage, including Omiš’s legacy as a former pirate stronghold and its ongoing relationship with the river.

Operating on a 5-hour schedule, the experience blends the high-energy rush of ziplining with moments to absorb the park’s biodiversity, from wildflowers clinging to cliff edges to the occasional peregrine falcon overhead. This accessible adventure sets itself apart by balancing excitement with a deep connection to the landscape’s ancient limestone formation and vibrant ecosystem. Whether you’re a first-timer or an adrenaline junkie, Waterworld d.o.o. crafts a memorable journey that feels alive with the pulse of Dalmatia’s rugged outdoors.
