Dubrovnik Transfer

The Grand Dalmatian Tour: Via Pelješac Bridge

Traveling from Zadar to Dubrovnik? You are connecting the two most important historic cities on the Croatian Adriatic. But let’s be realistic: this is a long journey across the entire region of Dalmatia.

• Distance: approx. 350 km
• Travel Time: 3.5 - 4 hours
• The Route: Zadar ➔ Highway A1 ➔ Pelješac Bridge ➔ Dubrovnik

This is not just a taxi ride; it is a road trip. While public buses stop at every village and get stuck at border crossings, Adriatic Coast Transfers turns this transfer into a seamless, "Business Class" experience. We utilize the new Pelješac Bridge to bypass foreign borders entirely, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted drive through Croatian territory.

Why Private Transfer is the Only Way to Travel

A 4-hour drive requires comfort. Doing this trip by bus implies hauling luggage to the station, waiting for a connection, sitting in a cramped seat, and then navigating Dubrovnik's stairs upon arrival. Here is why discerning travelers book a private ride.

The "No Border" Guarantee (Pelješac Bridge) 🌉

Old travel guides and GPS systems might still direct you through the Neum Corridor (Bosnia & Herzegovina).

• The Risk: In July and August, the Neum border crossing is a choke point. You can lose over an hour waiting in line, and you need to have your passports ready for inspection twice.
• Our Advantage: We take the A1 Highway to its end and cross the spectacular Pelješac Bridge. This architectural marvel allows us to stay in Croatia 100% of the time. No customs, no police checks, no delays. Just a stunning view of the bay.

Arrival Logistics: Solving the "Stairs" Problem 🏰

Dubrovnik is famous for its beauty, but also for its thousands of stone stairs.

• The Bus Trap: The main bus station is located in Gruž Port, which is 3 km away from the Old Town. From there, you need to find another taxi or drag your suitcases onto a local bus.
• Our "Smart Drop-off": We ask for your accommodation address beforehand. We drop you at the specific city gate closest to your apartment—Pile Gate (West), Ploče Gate (East), or Buža Gate (North). We get you as close as physically possible to minimize the walking.

The "Neretva Valley" & Scenic Views 🍊

The drive isn't boring. After leaving the highway, we pass through the Neretva Valley, often called the "California of Croatia."

• It is a lush delta filled with tangerine plantations and roadside fruit stands.
• You will see the dramatic change in landscape from the rocky north to the green south. Want to stop for a photo or buy fresh fruit? Just ask your driver. It’s your private ride.

Customize Your Trip: The "Ston Oyster" Stop

Since we pass right by the Pelješac Peninsula, it would be a missed opportunity not to stop. We offer an optional 1-hour stop in Mali Ston.

• Why stop? Mali Ston is world-famous for the best oysters and mussels in the Mediterranean. You can taste them fresh, literally pulled from the sea minutes ago.
• The Great Wall: You will also see the Walls of Ston, the longest preserved fortification system in Europe (often compared to the Great Wall of China).
• Tip: This turns a simple transfer into a full gastronomic tour.

Popular Transfer Options

Transfer Zadar Airport to Dubrovnik

The seamless arrival.

Transfer Novalja (Zrće) to Dubrovnik

From the party capital to the culture capital.

• The Grand Trip: Many young travelers start their holiday partying in Novalja and finish it relaxing in Dubrovnik.
