    About this experience

    Private car transfer from Split to Dubrovnik (and opposite) usually takes around 3-3,5h for direct transfers and 5h with stops. Please note that there is a mandatory border crossing with Bosnia and Herzegovina (15km we drive inside BiH), it is enough to have your ID or passport. We do only private taxi transfers from Split to Dubrovnik and vice versa and we are not obligated to wait in the same line like minibuses which prolongs border crossing. Average time to pass Bosnia border is around 15-20min, but weekends in high season can take more time.

    Beware of this Transfer!

    I expected a decent car with an English speaking driver. We got an older taxi (the sign was still on the car, which he removed at Ston) with a nice man but he couldn't speak English (using Google translate). We did not get a bottle of water as advertised. We paid an extra 100 euros for an extra hour (total of 6 hours) to stop at Mali Ston and the Ston saltworks on our way to Dubrovnik. Our driver headed to Dubrovnik without stopping at Ston saltworks, even though he said he would stop there. He had to turn around to head back to Ston when we pointed out his mistake. We arrived in Dubrovnik well within our 6 hour window that we paid for, but the driver insisted we pay him an extra 30 euros because we were "late" leaving the Ston saltworks. All in all, a very unpleasant experience and I would not recommend using this service.

    Response from the operator: Dear Lana, Usually, i do not reply to reviews, as more than 96% of our reviews across all tours are 5 stars. However, there are so many incorrect statements in your review that I feel the need to respond. This tour was booked through the official Viator website at the regular price and already included a private transfer from split to Dubrovnik with 45- minute stop in Ston. Your booking agent likley charged you an additional 100 eur for the Ston detour, despite the fact that it was already included in the original price. During the transfer to Dubrovnik, you asked if it would be possible to extend the planned 45 - minute stop in Ston to approximately 2 hours. We agreed, but clearly explained that additional time is charged at 30 eur per hour. You confirmed that this was acceptable, so we extended the Ston experience accordingly. There are official messages through the Viator platform where you asked for extra time and agreed to the additional price. I can provide screenshots showing that this was a mutual agreement between both parties and not something that was "forced" on you. The vechicle used for your transfer was VW Touran, and the driver who escorted you has completed this route more than 1,000 times. He is highly experienced, has excellent driving skills, and most importantly, brought you safely to your destination - which is my top priority as the owner. If the additional 30 eur charge is truly a problem for you, despite your prior agreement, feel free to send me and email and I will gladly refund double that amount immediately. Have a nice day Ivan Knezović

    Lovely experience

    It’s a beautiful drive from Split to Dubrovnik. Our guide, Miro, was kind and knowledgeable. We would recommend this tour to our friends. Consider stopping for oysters in Ston along the way!

    Great last view of the country

    This is worth the money! Our driver told us history and facts about the region as we rode. He stopped when we wanted to take photos. Gave us options for our lunch stop. It was one of our best experiences!

    Great ride from Split to Dubrovnik

    Our chauffeur, Marijan was excellent. He drove a comfortable car, was friendly and most importantly was a safe driver! He made numerous photo stops along the way and helped us with our luggage on both ends! Also, Ivan was a good communicator when booking our trip!

    Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $472 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.

    Is Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa)?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Split to Dubrovnik private transfer via Ston and picture stops (and vice versa) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Split?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Split?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
