A standard private transfer from Split to Dubrovnik is now more efficient than ever. Thanks to the Pelješac Bridge, there is no longer a requirement to pass through the Neum corridor (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Customize Your Journey: Scenic Stopovers

If you have time to spare, why not turn your transfer into a mini-excursion? A private transfer allows you to tailor the journey to your interests.

Option 1: The Gourmet Stop (Ston & Oysters)

For food enthusiasts, a stop in Ston is the most logical and rewarding choice. Known for the longest defensive walls in Europe and a centuries-old tradition of oyster farming, it’s the ideal spot for a fresh seafood lunch. Since it’s located right at the entrance to the Pelješac Peninsula, it adds very little extra driving time.

Option 2: The Cultural Detour (Mostar & Međugorje)

If you wish to explore Bosnia and Herzegovina, we can arrange a visit to Mostar, famous for its UNESCO-listed Stari Most (Old Bridge). You can also include a stop in Međugorje, a world-renowned spiritual site. Note: For this route, please ensure you check our cross-border logistics guide.
