Everything you should know before you book
Few coastal cities give you as many day trips as Split. South along the Adriatic lies Dubrovnik and its famous walls; inland and across the border sit Mostar's Ottoman old bridge and the Kravice Falls in Bosnia and Herzegovina; closer to home are the Krka and Plitvice waterfall parks and a fleet of island boat trips. It's the reason many travellers base themselves in Split for the whole region.
Match the trip to your spare days — the cross-border ones are long. Dubrovnik and Mostar each involve several hours of driving plus a border crossing, so bring your passport and expect an early start. The waterfall parks and island cruises are closer and gentler on the schedule. Small-group tours trade a higher price for more time at each stop and fewer fellow travellers.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a passport for the Mostar or Dubrovnik day trips?
Yes — Mostar and Kravice Falls are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so you cross an international border and need a valid passport or ID. Dubrovnik stays within Croatia but most routes also dip through a short stretch of Bosnia.
Which day trip from Split is best?
For history and drama, Dubrovnik's walls or Mostar's old bridge; for nature, the Krka and Plitvice waterfalls; for the sea, the 5 Islands and Blue Cave boat trips. Pick by what you most want to see, as each is a full day.
How long are the day trips?
The cross-border trips to Mostar and Dubrovnik are the longest at roughly 11–13 hours. Krka is the shortest at around 8 hours, and island boat trips run about 9–11 hours.
