SkyDive Jahorina – a gentle aerial adventure by the lake
SkyDive is one of Jahorina’s most interesting summer attractions for children, younger visitors and anyone who wants the feeling of flying without the intensity of a classic zip line. It is located next to the Jahorina lake, near the exit station of the Poljice Gondola.
The attraction is designed as a lighter family experience: the visitor sits on a specially designed seat, moves along a cable above an open area and enjoys a short, safe and fun ride with views of the mountain landscape.

What is SkyDive on Jahorina?
SkyDive is a summer family attraction that allows visitors to ride above the terrain while seated on a special seat attached to a cable. Unlike a zip line, where the experience is usually faster and more intense, SkyDive is calmer and more accessible to visitors who want fun without too much adrenaline.
This makes it especially interesting for families with children, younger visitors and anyone who wants to feel a short “flight” on the mountain while still feeling stable and secure. The ride is short enough to be easy, but different enough to become a memorable part of a summer visit to Jahorina.

Where is it located?
SkyDive is located next to the lake on Jahorina, near the exit station of the Poljice Gondola. This makes it easy to include in a visit to the upper zone: a gondola ride, a walk by the lake, a short photo break and then one or more summer attractions.
The location is practical because other family attractions are nearby, so there is no need to plan a long walk or additional transport. For many visitors, SkyDive is an ideal “on-the-way” activity after arriving by gondola.
What is the ride like?
The visitor sits on a special seat, while the staff check the safety elements and provide short instructions. The ride then follows a cable above an open area, creating the feeling of light floating with views toward the lake, slopes and surrounding mountain scenery.
The main features of the experience are:
- a seated position during the ride
- lighter adrenaline compared with a classic zip line
- a short duration, suitable for children and families
- a location near the lake and Poljice Gondola
- a good opportunity for photos and short videos
Who is SkyDive best for?
SkyDive is especially good for children, younger teenagers, families and visitors who want a light adventure without too much fear. If the zip line across the lake feels too intense, SkyDive can be a great first step toward aerial attractions.
It is also useful for those who want a short activity between the gondola ride, a walk around the lake, lunch or other attractions in the upper Poljice zone.
Is it an alternative to the zip line?
Yes, from a visitor’s point of view it can be seen as a softer alternative to the zip line. The difference is that SkyDive is a seated ride, feels calmer and is more approachable for people who are not ready for a faster ride above the lake.
Still, before riding, always check the current operator rules, including height, age and weight restrictions, as these may change during the season.
How to include SkyDive in a Jahorina visit?
The best combination is: Poljice Gondola to the upper station, a short walk to the lake, a SkyDive ride, photos and then continuing toward other summer attractions. If you are visiting with children, this route is practical because everything is located in the same zone.
For families, it is best to plan enough time without rushing. Children often need a few minutes to watch the ride, see how it works and then decide that they want to try it.
Tips before the ride
- Check the operator’s rules before buying a ticket.
- For children, watch one ride first so they know what to expect.
- Wear comfortable clothes and footwear.
- Do not carry loose items that could fall during the ride.
- Use your phone from a safe place, not during the ride itself.
- The best photos are usually taken in softer morning or late-afternoon light.
- It can be cooler at the top of Jahorina than at the base.
- Combine the attraction with a walk around the lake.
Visitor experience
SkyDive is usually experienced as a short, charming and family-friendly attraction. It is not extreme, and that is exactly its advantage: it suits visitors who want a little excitement, a nice view and the feeling of flight without strong adrenaline.
For children, the most exciting part is that the attraction feels like a “small flight” above the mountain. For parents, the main advantage is that it is located close to other attractions, making it easy to include in a one-day summer trip to Jahorina.
