Ready for your zipline adventure? DU the Wire stands out as one of the best outdoor experiences in the Dubrovnik region.
When planning your trip to Dubrovnik, you’ll quickly notice plenty of beautiful sights and coastal activities due to its long coastline. But if you’re looking to add something bold and different to your itinerary—something that leaves you with more than just a few photos—then ziplining should be at the top of your list. And not just any zipline, our DU the Wire stands out as one of the best outdoor experiences in Croatia, settled in Dubrovnik region. That we can prove with our Viator Experience Award in the Adrenaline-Rush Experiences category for 2023.
Here are five clear reasons why DU the Wire deserves a spot in your travel plans. These aren’t just features that make it a good activity—they’re the things that help it stand out from everything else you can do while visiting Dubrovnik. Each reason reflects what makes this experience special, from the stunning views over the Adriatic to the lasting impact it leaves on visitors.
1. Our zipline has the best view in Dubrovnik
Ziplining at DU the Wire shows you a view of Dubrovnik that you won’t see by just walking around. As you slide across the cliff, you’ll see the deep blue Adriatic Sea, the rocky coast, and the nearby Elaphiti Islands.
What makes this place really special is where it’s located. The zipline starts high above the sea, and it feels like you’re flying right over the waves. If you go at sunset, the sky turns orange and gold, and the water reflects those colors as you fly through the air.
It’s not just a nice view—it’s a real experience. Many people say it’s the best part of their trip. The open sky, fresh air, and high viewpoint give you a strong sense of freedom and excitement.
2. Impressive speed, length and height
DU the Wire isn’t just about the scenery—it’s a serious adrenaline activity. The zipline itself is 900 meters long, one of the longest on the Adriatic coast. You can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, all while suspended at 175 meters above sea level.
You ride in the “Superman” position, which means you’re lying flat, face down, with arms free, like you’re flying. It’s a rush like no other.
Even if you’ve tried ziplining before, this one feels different. It’s not a short drop or a fast slide through trees—it’s a full-on flight across open space with nothing below you but air and the sea. You feel weightless for a few seconds, and that’s what makes the whole thing so exciting.

Trying something new and extreme always comes with questions about safety. At DU the Wire, those concerns are taken seriously and addressed with transparency.
All safety gear is provided on site, and the team is trained to guide you at every step, making sure even first-timers feel at ease.
Before each ride, trained guides explain the entire process in detail—from how to wear your harness to what to expect during the flight. The team is friendly, experienced, and fully certified. All equipment is inspected regularly and maintained to meet the highest safety standards.
The setup is organized, and the whole process—from check-in to landing—is handled smoothly by staff who are there to help. From the moment you arrive until your ride is complete, everything is planned to be efficient and enjoyable, so you can focus on the experience rather than logistics.
4. Great for both solo travellers and groups
It doesn’t matter if you’re coming alone, with your partner, friends, or family—DU the Wire is a great activity for everyone. As long as you meet the basic weight and height rules, you can join in. You don’t need any experience.
A lot of people come with friends to do something fun and different from the usual sightseeing. Some come to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or even for a special surprise like a proposal. Teenagers also love it as something exciting to do during the holiday.
The zipline is also a good choice for companies looking for team-building activites. Groups often book it to share an adventure and build stronger connections. After the ride, there’s space to relax and talk, which makes it just as much a social experience as an adrenaline one.
5. A life-long memory from Dubrovnik
There are a lot of memorable things you can do in Dubrovniklike i.e. walk the city walls, take a boat to Lokrum, visit the filming locations of famous series—but ziplining is something you’ll truly talk about for years.
DU the Wire provides helmet-mounted cameras so you can take home a video of your ride. Watching yourself flying over the sea is something that stays with you long after your trip is over.
It’s not just a physical experience—it’s emotional, too. For some, it’s facing a fear of heights. For others, it’s a moment of total freedom. Either way, it makes for a powerful memory. Zipline experience is kind of a travel experience that turns into a great story you’ll tell again and again.
