18-35s CRUISES

4-day cruise split to dubrovnik, split to makarska.

Jump on board and meet your Captain, crew and shipmates! Check-in is from 11am to 12pm and we aim to depart Split for Makarska at around 1pm and get the socialising started with lunch and a much-needed swim stop. We dock into Makarska late in the afternoon, giving you time to go around the towns, grab a gelato and have dinner in one of the many restaurants, pizzerias and tavernas that line the promenades. In Makarska, the most popular way to spend the night is at the famous Club Deep, also known as the “Rave in a Cave”. Say no more…

Mljet (or Slano/Sipan) to Dubrovnik

With some gorgeous bays around Mljet, Slano and Sipan, we are spoilt for choice for a swim stop this morning. We then cross to Dubrovnik through the Elaphite archipelago of islands – a truly amazing sight.

We arrive in Dubrovnik in the early afternoon, which gives you time for some must-dos, including a sunset walk around the famous walls and sampling a cocktail at one of the cliff bars as you watch the sun go down.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in and around the Old City, as well as events at clubs such as Revelin.

Optional excursions:

(1) Dubrovnik is also the setting for the capital city of Westeros, Kings Landing, in Game of Thrones. If you are a fan, why not take a walking tour of the locations of the most famous scenes in the ultra-popular show and get an overview of the history of Dubrovnik at the same time? If you are not a GOT fan then we also have a dedicated Dubrovnik Historical Walk that focuses on the city’s non-fictional history.

(2) Close to where your boat docks in Gruz port, there is a secluded beach with a 250-metre long ZIPLINE! We can arrange transfer there and back, with a zipline ride (or 2!) included in the excursion.

Makarska to Mljet

Our boat leaves early for the crossing to Mljet Island. After lunch, we will dock in either Pomena or Polace and have the rest of the afternoon free to explore this island’s stunning National Park and its lakes.

There are several options for this exploration: hire a bike for a few hours and pedal your way around the lakes’ excellent cycle paths, hire a kayak for paddle-power or simply go for a hike. We also offer an optional onboard Captain’s mixed grill dinner this evening (either in Mljet or we might head over to Slano or Sipan island) as the setting is perfect.

Optional excursions: Entrance to Mljet National Park (approx 20 Euros), bike or kayak hire (from 6 Euros), Captain’s mixed grill dinner (approx 25 Euros, depending on inclusions).

Check-out from your cabin is after breakfast, by 10am, but you can leave your bags on the boat as there is still plenty to see and do!

We recommend: (1) Taking a cable car ride up to Mount Srd for the most incredible view imaginable.

(2) Dubrovnik is also the setting for the capital city of Westeros, Kings Landing, in Game of Thrones. If you are a fan, why not take a walking tour of the locations of the most famous scenes in the ultra-popular show and get an overview of the history of Dubrovnik at the same time?

Dubrovnik to Split ferry FAQs

The sailing time from Dubrovnik to Split is about 5h.

The catamarans do not operate at that time of the year, they operate from around mid-April to mid-October, outside of this period, you only have the option to take a bus from Dubrovnik to Split . The trip with the bus takes about 4 hours.

My personal tips for the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split

• If you are not in a hurry, you should for sure take the ferry and not the bus on this route, the scenic views is worthwhile the longer travel time.
• Bring drinks and smuggle some food onboard, 5 to 6 hours on a boat is a long time, so you will need some refreshment, you can buy some onboard, but it is way cheaper to bring it.
• Get a seat at the window, you will have some amazing view on the Islands on the way.
• Consider making a stop in Korcula, you can take early morning ferry to Korcula town, spend 3-4 hours there and then take another ferry from Korcula to Split .

Written by our local expert Mate

Mate is Croatian and owns a transport company in the Balkans, he has visited over 30 countries. He is an expert on all things transportation as well as food and wine.

This detailed Croatia transportation guide tells you how to travel from Split to Dubrovnik and between Dubrovnik and Split.

One of the questions we get asked the most is: “How can I get from Split to Dubrovnik?” or “How to get from Dubrovnik to Split?”Last year alone, we had hundreds of emails from people asking for details about this route. It is for sure one of the most popular routes!

In fact, I think that travel between Dubrovnik and Split is probably the most popular route on the Croatian coast, given so many people want to visit Dubrovnik and Split.

Both home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites —Diocletian’s Palace and the Dubrovnik Old Town, respectively—and boasting impressive waterfronts and beaches, superb seafood restaurants, centuries-old architecture, and incredible accommodation options , Dubrovnik and Split are absolute top destinations.

With that in mind, Split and Dubrovnik will undoubtedly be your itinerary’s anchor points in 2023. You will, therefore, need to know your options for travel from Dubrovnik to Split.

Split is about 230 km from Dubrovnik, and there are several ways to get between them. Driving is by far the most convenient way while taking a ferry trip like this along the Adriatic during the summer months is sure to be an enjoyable experience.

I have compiled all the options into this post to help you make the best decision for your Dubrovnik to Split transfer.

Dubrovnik To Split Map

Split to dubrovnik by car, private transfer from split to dubrovnik, get a quote on your private transfers here..

By far, the most efficient and best way to travel from Split to Dubrovnik is by car. It is the fastest way to get between Dubrovnik and Split, taking about 3 hours, and to be honest, you have the most flexibility when traveling by car to take any travel route you like and make stops along the way.

For those who like to travel in style, don’t want the stress of driving in a foreign country, and wish to have someone knowledgeable taking care of the journey, a private transfer from Dubrovnik to Split is what you’re after.

A Dubrovnik to Split transfer is a superb way to travel; best of all, it removes the stress of worrying about border crossings, insurance, and navigating foreign roads.

Split To Dubrovnik Excursion

Many travelers are increasingly taking advantage of having a driver and making the private transfer from Split to Dubrovnik into an excursion. Rather than going direct, they stop along the way, taking in the beautiful Dalmatian coastline and charming towns. Please take a look at this day trip to Dubrovnik from Split that is worth its price.

Some like to take the Split to Dubrovnik coastal route, which takes you through Omis, the Makarska Riviera down to Ploce, and then through Bosnia onto Opuzen and to Dubrovnik. A stop or perhaps lunch in Ston is also a must here, where you can sample Croatia’s best oysters and walk through those impressive city walls.

Alternatively, many choose to head to Mostar and spend a few hours there before continuing to Dubrovnik. Whatever the choice, it is a cost and time-effective way to see more of Croatia . Just be aware that the coastal road takes significantly longer in the summer season due to all the traffic in the seaside towns (traffic is much less in the winter season), so you’ll need to add another 1 to 1.5 hours to the journey time.

Split To Dubrovnik Taxi

Taking a taxi between Dubrovnik and Split sounds like a good idea as taxis are abundant in Dubrovnik and Split, and all of them would love to switch that meter on and take you for a “ride”! In short, a Split to Dubrovnik private transfer is cheaper with a better vehicle class, so do not even consider a Dubrovnik to Split taxi unless you want to pay lots of money !

Split To Dubrovnik Car Rental

If you do not want to take the bus and don’t have the budget for a Dubrovnik to Split transfer, perhaps rent a car in Split and drop it off in Dubrovnik. There are dozens of Dubrovnik and Split rental car companies offering this service. With a few people, this can prove to be a very cheap mode of transport if you book the car in advance and get a reasonable rate before the tourist season starts.

Split To Dubrovnik Drive

How far is split to dubrovnik.

If you look up the route for driving from Dubrovnik to Split on Google Maps, it will seem straightforward: a three-hour drive. However, when traveling from Split to Dubrovnik by car, things are not as easy as they seem.

The distance from Split to Dubrovnik is about 229km, and the drive will take about 3 hours, subject to traffic and border delays, primarily occurring between June and August and, more severely, on weekends.

Taking The A1 Motorway From Split To Dubrovnik

This is the most direct route to Dubrovnik from Split and is your typical multi-lane motorway. From the center of Split, you head to the Dugopolje entry to the A1, get onto the motorway, and follow it for about 100km until you reach its end at Ploce. From there, it’s the coast road to Dubrovnik , not before crossing the borders at Neum or taking the Pelješac Bridge at the town of Komarna. Tolls will cost you around 8 euros.

Peljesac Bridge – No More Need To Go Through Bosnia

The Pelješac Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Dubrovnik-Neretva County that opened in 2022, connecting the Peljesac peninsula to the Croatian mainland at the town of Komarna. The bridge now provides a way to bypass Bosnia and Herzegovina’s short coastal strip at Neum, saves many hours of waiting at the border crossing, and allows travelers to stay in the territory of Croatia when traveling between Split or Dubrovnik. The bridge is 2.4km long and free to cross but is only limited to vehicles that can travel more than 60km/h, so no walking across the bridge.

Driving the Split to Dubrovnik Coastal Road D8 (E65)

Before the completion of the A1 motorway around ten years ago, the Adriatic Highway (Jadranska Magistrala) was the only way to reach Dubrovnik from Split by road. The Adriatic Highway runs all the way from above Rijeka to Croatia’s border with Montenegro. It is a stunning road to drive, with million-dollar views all the way. If time is on your side and you want to cruise along the spectacular Dalmatian coast , then take the coast road from Split to Ploce. You’ll take this route through Omis and the beautiful Makarska Riviera. These roads are very slow during high season, so expect the journey to take 4-5 hours and faster in low season.

Crossing The Neum Corridor When Driving From Split To Dubrovnik

If you do not use the bridge , you will go via BiH, and it involves two border crossings—into Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is not an EU member state, and back into Croatia. Known as the Neum Corridor, this extremely short stretch of coastline can pose significant problems if your documents are not in order.

Questions like “Do you need a visa?” and “Do you need extra insurance?” are valid. There is an agreement between the Croatian and Bosnia-Herzegovinian governments that allows tourists to cross this section without border control, with the condition that they don’t stop on the way. The legal details, however, are somewhat vague.

This agreement was never officially ratified, and border officials may interpret the law differently. Also, the agreement would only apply to cars registered in Croatia. So, suppose you’ve rented a car in Italy or Slovenia and are driving along the Adriatic coast . In that case, you may not be allowed to cross the border without a visa , extra insurance, or another document. Always check with your car rental company to see whether you can leave the European Union.

More than 99% of the time, however, there will not be a problem with traveling from Dubrovnik to Split by car and vice versa via the Neum Corridor. There have, however, documented cases of people who were stopped. Also, EU residents and people from Switzerland, Norway, and Liechtenstein can cross the border with just a passport or ID card.

Residents from other countries will need a passport and will get a stamp each time they cross a border. You may want to avoid this route if you have a single-entry visa for Croatia .

Drive From Split To Dubrovnik – Ploce To Trpanj Ferry

With the bridge’s construction, this route is not practical anymore, as taking the bridge is significantly faster. Perhaps if the bridge is closed at some point, you can take the ferry to Trpanj on the Peljesac Peninsula from Ploce to continue driving toward Dubrovnik.

Brands We Use And Trust

So glad to see this! Will be needing to get from Dubrovnik to Split in July!

All the info is the same, just in reverse :D

During our holiday last September we dropped off our car in Split and caught the bus to Dubrovnik. The bus ride was very comfortable, on time, and very cheap!

Yes so cheap, I agree.

It was easy too, booked it online at home. Arranged for our pickup in Dubrovnik, and enjoyed the ride!

Do NOT ever drive over the weekend (Fri-Sun) unless it is very early in the morning. Traffic is insane through the border crossing, turning a 15/20 min drive into hours.

I’ll be travelling from Split to Korcula to Dubrovnik at the end July to August, so it’s boat trip for me/us unless you have any better suggestions

Last summer my wife, our daughter and I took the speed catamaran one way from Split to Dubrovnik. There were 4 stops in between (Brac, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet) and it proved to be very easy and relaxing. Comfortable seating and the 4 hour 20 minute trip is only 200 HRK (about $30 USD). I would suggest this route for anyone want carefree travel. We purchased tickets at the Kapetan Luka ticket booth in Split. I hope this helps.

Ahhh good idea. If you have the time sounds perfect.

Last summer we took the high speed ferry. Highly recommended. And don’t pay attention when they say they are sold out online… They are not. Go down to the harbor directly.

Oh good to know, I never knew that that was the case. Thanks Deb.

can you take luggage on the ferry? or is it difficult/no space?

Oh yeah, easy. There is loads of room.

If you do bus, be aware there are several companies. We had online tickets, got on a bus, confirmed it was going to Dubrovnik, they said they’d be around to check tickets. When they got to us, they were for a different company! We were already 20 minutes down the road. Faced with getting out and hoping our bus was coming along behind, or buying more tickets, we paid.

Oh dear, what a mistake to make. Yes there are dozens of bus companies in Croatia, you have to look at which bus company you booked with. I guess you wont make that mistake again. – and even luckier there was space on that bus for you. In summer some buses, get sold out.

I did it by car. It was awesome. I was not the driver which was a plus

Yeah being driven is always better than being the driver – thats why we started a transfer company :D

I will be making this trip mid-August 2020. Are there extra complications driving from Split to Dubrovnik due to covid? As an American citizen will the short crossing through Bosnia be a problem?

Not if you cross at the Neum border. You must drive straight, no stopping.

We did it by bus. Our passports were in the checked baggage underneath, but the border patrol people just rolled their eyes and let us through. Apparently, that’s not the usual reaction. The bus stopped in Bosnia-Herzegovina for a coffee break. After the stop, the bus door wouldn’t properly shut so the “spare” driver had to hold the door closed so the alarm would stop buzzing. Croatia remains one of my most favouritest places ever.

Oh lordy, you are one of ‘those’ people David hahahaha – you got away with it – bet it was the Aussie charm> BTW, FWIW, I would never leave my passports in checked luggage even if it was not needed – what if someone at one of the stops took your bag? Yikes that would be a real vacay killer. YOu’ll be pleased to know we now do private transfers so next time you need to get from Rovinj to Zadar, one of our drivers can take you.

You remember me! Loved Croatia! Saving my Kuna for next time.

who does private transfers Chasing the Donkey?

where do we ring or email for private transfer Chasing the Donkey? My parents are coming again in a few weeks, and they take taxis and some buses around croatia and bosnia, thank god that the taxis are a lot more reasonable than they where years ago

You can phone Mr. CtD on +385 99 6755 831 or email him at info at octopustransfers dot com. Yeah, taxi prices are okay but still too high – and some scrupulous drivers charge extra when they can get away with it – at least here in Zadar anyways.

Sandra Božić You can phone Mr. CtD on +385 99 6755 831 or email him at [email protected] . (His company is Octopus Transfers) Yeah, taxi prices are okay but still too high – and some scrupulous drivers charge extra when they can get away with it – at least here in Zadar anyways.

FYI it’s Octopus Transfers Croatia

By car works best.

Totes agree.

Is it true that there is only Krilo doing ferry transfers now from Dubrovnik to Split via the islands? We are travelling in August and wondering if we should bus or boat? We would be travelling on Fri/Sat depending on time tables, our cruise starts Sat afternoon from Split.

Yes, as far as I know. Happy travels.

Just arrived in Split this morning from Ancona. Great overnight trip. Thanks for the info on getting to Dubrovnik.

You are very welcome, we hope that you enjoy your stay.

Thank you for this great and informative article.

I used octopus transfers, after reading about them on here – they were so great. i say you wont regret paying the extra for the transfer from split to dubrovnik.

Hi, I’m planning a travel to Croatia. Can you please tell me how much on average is the taxi fare from split to Dubrovnik by Octopus Transfers.

Thanks in advance

The rates change all the time, you can find them here https://www.octopustransferscroatia.com/

We took the bus from Dubrovnik to Split yesterday, it took nearly 6 Hours. 1 of those hours was spent on the two BiH borders. The second stop was delayed while the border guards obviously had their lunch. Awful experience.

Yup, foul. That is why we recommend a private transfer :D

Hello, heading to Croatia in July. Any chance we can book our car transfer from Split to Dubrovnik in advance (if anyone’s got a reliable website?)

Yes, you can try this one (my husband owns it) https://www.octopustransferscroatia.com/

If I’m staying in brac by Milna, would it be better to go Dubrovnik to split and then ferry to brac, Or ferry from Dubrovnik to brac? Thanks!

Do they have roundtrip private cars?

Yes, they do :D

How do you book bus tickets from Split to Dubrovnik? Been looking here but to no avail.

Many thanks,

Book tickets at the bus stop that day, or the day before.

in my opinion, chasingthedonkey is one of the best travel blogs. Thank you very much for this useful article

Thanks for the advice! are you aware of the timetables changing for the ferry after October 1st? I want to travel from Dubrovnik to Split on Sunday 7th October. Any suggestions?

Just use the online jadrolinija.hr ferry timetable, and you can see them all :D

I have done Zagreb-Dubrovnik more times that I can remember (I can remember 35, most times work).

Zagreb-Rijeka train, Rijeka-Dubrovnik ferry (I miss that ferry).

For the most part I have done Zagreb-Split then bus Split-Dubrovnik. This year I am going to try the ferry. Technically speaking I have done Split-Dubrovnik ferry ride but it was from Rijeka and stopped in Split on it’s way to Dubrovnik. However on September 26 I arrive in Zagreb, will take the 23:00 train, arriving at 06:45 in Split. The sunrise is awesome.

Krilo has the ferry at around 07:30, Jadrolinja has it’s ferry at 16:15. so Krilo it is.

The bus, there are essentially once an hour (roughly) going Split-Dubrovnik.

The bus station is next to the train staiton. Ferry is down the street somewhere.

I so want to take the ferry, NOTHING beats arriving in Dubrovnik by Ferry. Obviously bus is cheaper and if I miss Krilo, the next ferry is the Jadrolinja, or Krilo next day. But the bus has every hour for the most part, and it stops at Neum, at that hotel, with the view of the Peljesac peninsula.

What if the train is late? I will miss the ferry, I don’t know ho to get from the train station to where Krilo boats leave. #Stress

Yikes, stress indeed. That’s why we say just get a driver – Zagreb to Dubrovnik in an aircon van, and be totally relaxed.

During peak summer tourist season (15/7-15/8) border crossing To Neum Bosnia gets very busy. Busy means waiting for few hours on the border crossing. The same applies to ferry Ploce-Trpanj – you need to get there at least one hour earlier.

Hello – would love any advice!

We are traveling to Croatia in August 2019. Our flights are in and out of Split and we are planning to visit Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar. Would it be easier to fly into Split and then take a direct flight (Croatia airlines?) to Dubrovnik, spend 3 nights and 2 full days there, then ferry to Hvar on the morning of the 3rd day. Spend 2.5 days, 3 nights there. Lastly ferry over to Split and spend 2 full days and 2 nights there and then fly out the day after. I understand that during the high season there are nonstop flights available (Split-Dub), but since it’s quite early, that info isn’t posted yet.

Does this itinerary make the most sense, so there is less “airport time”? We have to do Hvar in the middle because of a prior engagement and I don’t necessarily want to do the travel to/from Dubrovnik by ferry twice, so I figure we would take advantage of being in the airport at the beginning already, and start by “traveling down” and then “traveling back up.” We also have to travel in and out of Split airport because we are using points and our airline unfortunately does not offer flights from the US to Dubrovnik.

Thank you in avance!

I really need help in trying to decide how to get from Split to Dubrovnik. we are coming from 4 days on Vis and taking the early ferry across. I have some options and would like to take the ferry to Dubrovnik. Can we get a ferry upon arrival in Split from Vis early in the Morning? Or we miss the ferry. The second would be to take the bus, but that sounds long and might not be good for us. I did just look up a private transfer and that would be around $280.00 I looked up your husband company. Not sure that is fesible for us. Can you explain if a ferry would work coming that day from Split.

I really don’t know the ferry times off my head, you’d need to look the timetable up and see if there is one that coincides with when you get to Split.

Hello, I am planning a one week family holiday (mum, dad & 2 kids 12 and 10) in Croatia in late June 2020. We are flying into Dubrovnik. We also want to go to Kvar and Split. From Split we plan on hiring a car and head for Slovenia. I am thinking of spending 2 days in Dubrovnik then moving on to either Kvar or Split. Questions: How would you suggest getting to Kvar: from Dubrovnik or Split? Is is possible to get a ferry or similar from Dubrovnik to Hvar? how long and how much would it be? Thank you, Diana

You can find all the ferry times and costs on the Jadrolinija website. And be warned I think that you mean “Hvar”, so look for that online not Kvar :D Enjoy.

Regards for all your efforts that you have put in this. very interesting info .

Hi, I am planning a trip to Croatia in July. I have to say, really god blog. While reading I was wondering why did you write “make sure you don’t have single entry visa to Croatia”. I am thinking of applying for Schengen visa, which covers Croatia. Thanks :)

Croatia is NOT apart of the Schengen zone. It is planned to be one day, but it NOT now. Be careful.

Great and informative article! We will be driving from Dubrovnik to Split on June 16, 2020- will it be as crowded then as it is in July/August? Should I be worried about crossing into Bosnia and not having the correct information (we have passports from the US) Thanks so much! Lynne

There is nothing to be worried about – so long as you have your passports and insurance/valid car registration nothing will stop you.

Such a detailed guide! We will be in Dubrovnik and wish to visit Split for a few hours. Could you recommend an affordable private transfer option?

We are open and will gladly enjoy the long day.

yes, try http://www.octopustransferscroatia.com

It seems like that distance isn’t that much and if we choose the right transport facility, then we would reach there within a day?

Yes, that is totally do-able in a day trip!

Are there any issues with crossing the Bosnian border on the bus from Dubrovnik to Split due to COVID-19? Will US citizens need to have their COVID vaccination cards ready along with passports?

Interesting! I really like this information thank you for sharing with us.

Hello, I am planing a 15 day trip to Croatia with my 22 year old son in the next days, what would you recommend us to do in February? I dońt know if the ferrys to go to the islands are working this time of the year. And also, is it better for us to rent a car or can we use buses to go from place to place? I would rather not drive, but I dońt know what would be best. Is the road trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik too long for this period of time? What places are the best to see in between? What are the covid related restrictions for tourists?

Thank you so much!

Your post was a breath of fresh air, offering a unique perspective that I had not previously considered.

Thank you so much share the blog information

Aw, this was a very nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to create a top notch article…

This is such an informative article, thank you for sharing your insights on this topic.

I found this article to be really well-written and engaging – it kept my attention from start to finish.

While I appreciate your perspective, I have to respectfully disagree with some of the points you made.

Okay sure, what would you disagree with?

Amazing blog! thanks for sharing….

Plan to spend some time in Split or Dubrovnik if you have more time on your hands. In order to make the most of your time, we advise staying an extra night.

Thanks for this post! I am a little frustrated trying to find and book a journey from Split to Dubrovnik in September via the water. What I am struggling with is we had planned to do this via waterways because we want to enjoy the scenery along the way. But, so far I cannot find a single ferry or catamaran that seems to have ANY outdoor seating or standing area to enjoy the beauty…? Being trapped inside a cabin for 5 hours rather than enjoying the outdoor fresh air and scenery seems like a crime (and my husband would hate it). Do you know of ANY of these vessels where we can be outside? I also did check out your hopper link but unless I am missing some big piece of info, the prices are all 45 euros one way, not 23 or 30. (there are 4 of us traveling) I also checked out the Facebook page for Krilo and see several posts about boat trips from Split to Dubrovnik being cancelled! This is worrisome as we wouldn’t have anywhere to stay if we got stuck in Split and would lose our accommodations in Dubrovnik. Just when I thought I had this itinerary nailed down… ;/

Hey. Some ferries have an outdoor area that you can sit at. Seats are not allocated, it’s first in best dressed. For the Krilo ferry, as it is a fast ferry, you remain inside. As for the cancellations, yes, they happen when the weather is bad, and right now the weather is bad. This part of Europe has had bad storms that have not only ruined many buildings, but several people have also died. It’s the risk you have to take with going by ferry I am afraid. As for the prices, everything went up 20-30% this summer, so sadly the prices you see are the current prices. Have a great trip.

Catamarans are modern and comfortable and the ride is pleasant taking around 4 h 30 minutes. You can relax, read a book or have a snack or drink while sailing.

Catamarans on their way to Dubrovnik stop shortly on other islands to disembark and embark passengers. So you can briefly see Brac, Hvar, Korcula and Mljet along the way.

There are 5 departures daily, 2 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Fares start from €45 per person one-way. Once you arrive to Dubrovnik, you'll be in Gruz (2km from Old Town ), from where you can take city buses to other parts of the city. Bus stop is only steps away from the pier. There is also taxi stand just few meters from the pier (note that taxi is pretty expensive in Dubrovnik). See where to stay near the port .

Bus travel between Split and Dubrovnik is easy as there are many buses throughout the day between these two destinations.

When travelling from Split or Dubrovnik by bus, your travel will begin at Split Bus Station or Dubrovnik Bus Station, both conveniently located close to the ports.

Catamaran service Split to Dubrovnik

Catamaran service split to dubrovnik and return after 10 days.

We are already booked on Jadrolinija Ancona 27 June to Split 2 June. As foot passengers we would like to visit Vis for 7 days, then continue to Dubrovnik for another 10 Days, returning to Split on 13 July.Can we do these island trips by catamaran without excessive back-and-forth movements (my wife and I are in our 80’s) Hoping to hear from you! Tom Doyle

by Tom DOYLE (Varese, Italy)

Sorry Tom for my late answer. The only way to go to Dubrovnik via Vis without returning back to Split will be: 1.Take a catamaran from Split to Vis (by U.T.O) Kapetan Luka company – http://www.krilo.hr 2. There is a Line N°9602 by same company from Vis to Hvar. 3.From Hvar take catamaran (always Kapetan Luka) to Dubrovnik that runs only Tuesday and Thursday from 15 May to 18 October 2014. I hope it will be useful per your next trip.
