Overview
One of the top adrenaline activities in Dubrovnik: a 900-metre zipline over the Adriatic Sea, ridden face-down in the flying, superman-style position. The adventure starts in a shaded forest base about 4 kilometres from the Old Town, where licensed instructors fit your harness, helmet and goggles and give a full safety briefing. Then you launch from about 175 metres above sea level and glide over cliffs, pine forest and deep blue water at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, with Lokrum Island and the walls of the Old Town straight ahead. A passive braking system stops you gently on a coastal footpath. The activity takes about one and a half hours in small groups, and is open to anyone aged 12 and over.

Full Description
The zipline over the Adriatic
This zipline runs for 900 metres along the coast east of Dubrovnik, starting about 175 metres above sea level and ending far below on a pedestrian path by the sea, making it one of the longest coastal ziplines on the Adriatic. Instead of sitting in a seat, you hang face-down in a full-body harness, arms free, so it feels like flying.
Riders reach speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, while an advanced passive braking system slows you automatically at the end, so you have nothing to do but enjoy the ride. Licensed instructors check every harness and buckle, and the whole session, including equipment and briefing, takes about one and a half hours.
Views of Lokrum Island
Throughout the flight your eyes are on Lokrum, the wooded island just off the Old Town. Covered in pine and holm oak, with a ruined Benedictine monastery, a botanical garden, peacocks and a small salt-water lake called the Dead Sea, the island is a protected nature reserve and one of the most loved escapes from the city.
From the zipline you see Lokrum from above, framed by the open sea, a perspective very few visitors ever have. If you enjoy the view, the island is an easy ferry ride from the Old Town harbour on another day, and the zipline gives you a perfect overview of the coastline before exploring it by boat.
Dubrovnik Old Town and its walls
Ahead of you rise the massive stone walls of Dubrovnik Old Town, which wrap almost two kilometres around the historic centre and protected the independent Republic of Ragusa for centuries. Inside them lie marble streets, baroque churches and terracotta roofs, all part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
Seeing the walls from the air, with the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, explains why the city is called the Pearl of the Adriatic. After your ride, the landing point sits on a footpath that leads towards the Old Town, so you can combine the zipline with an afternoon of sightseeing. Walking the walls themselves later in the day is the perfect follow-up.
The forest base and how to get there
The meeting point is a shaded forest base above the coast at Dubac, about 4 kilometres east of the Old Town on the road to Cavtat. Local bus 10 runs from the main bus station in Gruž and from the cable car stop near the Old Town, and the Dubac stop is right at the zipline; taxis and parking are also easy.
Above the car park you will see a small church; walk through the small black gates next to it and the instructors are waiting about 50 metres away. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your time slot. Morning rides offer the clearest light and calmer winds, while late slots give warm light over the Old Town.
