Discovering the Flight Itinerary

Once you arrive at Sinj airport—about 15 minutes early—you’ll be greeted by your pilot, who will give a quick briefing and ensure everyone’s comfortable. This isn’t a hurried experience; it’s a leisurely flight designed to maximize your scenic viewing time.

The journey begins with a sweep over the Sinj plains, a wide-open landscape that sets the stage for the spectacular views ahead. From here, you’ll glide along the course of the Cetina River, which twists and turns through the landscape. You’ll love the way the river’s turquoise waters contrast with the rolling countryside, giving a real sense of the area’s natural beauty.

Next, the flight takes you toward Trilj, a charming riverside town with a laid-back vibe. Flying over Trilj, you’ll appreciate the way the town is set against the lush hills, with the Cetina’s flow clearly visible from above. It’s a relaxing point in the journey that combines natural beauty with local charm.

The highlight for many is the aerial view of Imotski, famous for its crater lakes—red and blue, each with their own character. The limestone landscapes surrounding Imotski add a dramatic backdrop, showcasing Croatia’s rugged karst terrain. As one reviewer pointed out, seeing these lakes from above is a “beautiful scenery” that’s hard to match.

Then, you’ll turn toward Omi, a town at the mouth of the Cetina River where it meets the sea. Flying over Omi, you’ll see the full scope of the canyon and the town’s layout, giving you a sense of the landscape’s scale and beauty. Reviewers have described this part as “very good experience,” emphasizing the impressive scenery.

Finally, the flight hugs the coastline toward Split’s suburbs, where you’ll catch a glimpse of the historic Klis Fortress perched high above the city. The flight then loops back to Sinj, completing a comprehensive aerial tour of some of Dalmatia’s most captivating sights.
