Split to Skyline: Makarska Cliffview Adventure
Walk on glass at 1,228 meters, then stroll the seafront of one of Croatia's most scenic coastal towns.
The Skywalk Biokovo glass bridge delivers one of the most striking viewpoints in the entire Adriatic region, suspending visitors above the rugged limestone cliffs of Mount Biokovo at 1,228 meters above sea level. This 6-hour adventure combines an architectural feat with genuine natural and cultural heritage, departing from Split and ending with a relaxed walk along Makarska's historic waterfront promenade.
Mount Biokovo is the second-highest mountain in Croatia, and its geology tells a story spanning millions of years. The Skywalk's geological column gives visitors a tangible, three-dimensional look at the rock cross-section beneath their feet, translating deep time into something immediate and visually striking.
The glass bridge element is not simply a photo opportunity. Standing on a transparent surface over a sheer cliff face reframes how visitors perceive the landscape below, where the Adriatic coastline, the Makarska Riviera, and the islands of Brac and Hvar stretch into the distance. The contrast between the raw mountain environment and the precision of the structure is part of what makes this experience memorable.
Before returning to Split, the tour includes a guided history walk along the Makarska promenade, where Venetian and Austro-Hungarian influences are visible in the town's architecture and layout. It is a grounding counterpoint to the heights of Biokovo, offering cultural depth alongside the day's natural drama.

Itinerary
The tour begins in Split, heading south along the Dalmatian coastal road toward Makarska. The drive itself offers views of the coastline and the limestone karst terrain characteristic of this part of Croatia.
Upon arrival in Makarska, the group begins a guided history walk through the town centre and along the waterfront promenade. Points of interest include the town's architecture, its Franciscan monastery, and the natural harbour framed by the Biokovo massif.
The group travels up into Biokovo Nature Park to reach the Skywalk platform. The route passes through the park's distinctive karst landscape, with increasing altitude revealing broader views of the coast below.
At the Skywalk, visitors walk onto the glass bridge cantilevered over the cliff edge at 1,228 meters. The adjacent geological column offers a detailed look at the mountain's formation, presented in a format accessible to all visitors.
After time at the Skywalk and a final look at the Makarska coastline, the group returns to Split, completing the round trip within the 6-hour window.
