Day Trips from Makarska

Split airport is roughly 80 to 87 km from Makarska, a drive of around an hour on the coast road. Makarska has no airport of its own. You can rent a car, take a bus via Split bus station or book a transfer; the catalogue lists transfers in both directions, and the booking page states the exact duration.

The glass platform sits at about 1,228 m inside Biokovo Nature Park, reached by a narrow, winding road of roughly 13 km from the park entrance. The park limits how many vehicles may enter per hour, which is why many visitors book a guided tour with transport: by tuk-tuk, buggy, quad, Land Rover or open car. These tours take 2.5 to 5 hours. The Skywalk is seasonal, so check the dates before you plan a winter visit.

Yes, guided day trips exist for all three, but they are long days: 8 to 11 hours, most of it in a vehicle. Krka is about two hours each way, Mostar about 128 km and two hours, Dubrovnik roughly 160 km and two and a half to three hours by bus including the border passage. If only one of them is on your list, a base closer to it saves hours of driving: Dubrovnik for Dubrovnik, Split or Šibenik for Krka.

No airport, no sandy beaches and no big-city sights. The beaches along the Riviera are pebble beaches, set against the Biokovo mountain wall. The islands of Brač and Hvar lie across the water, so island trips mean a boat ride rather than a walk from the promenade. Krka, Dubrovnik and Mostar are not around the corner either; Split and Dubrovnik have their own pages in our network.

It depends on the listing. Some boat hire offers are marked licence-free in the title, others come with a captain. The booking page of each listing states which applies, together with fuel, deposit and maximum group size. Read it before you book.

Not always. Several Skywalk listings say “Entry & Transfer Included” or “Skip-the-Line Ticket” in the title, others say nothing about it in the title. The same goes for Krka. The booking page lists what is included and what is not.
