Transfer Mostar to Dubrovnik with Kravice Waterfalls, Blagaj and Poitelj tour

A Scenic Journey from Mostar to Dubrovnik with Hidden Gems and Waterfall Refreshments

Traveling from Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina to Dubrovnik in Croatia doesn’t have to be just a straightforward transfer. Instead, this tour turns the journey into an authentic exploration of some of Herzegovina’s most beautiful and culturally rich spots. The experience is ideal for those who want more than just a transfer — a chance to soak in stunning views, learn about local history, and enjoy nature’s best offerings along the way.

What we particularly love about this experience is how it combines effortless transportation with thoughtfully curated stops that reveal the region’s true character. The small-group size makes the day feel intimate and personalized, and the guide’s knowledge shines through in every story. On the flip side, keep in mind that optional entrance fees, like at Kravice Falls, aren’t included — so budget accordingly if you plan to swim or explore in depth. This tour suits travelers who crave a mix of scenic beauty, cultural insight, and relaxed pace, especially those with a day to spare on the route between these two iconic destinations.

The Journey Begins: Pickup and Transport

The tour kicks off early at 8:40 am with hotel pickup in Mostar, which means you start your day on a high note — no fussing with public transport or complicated directions. The vehicle is a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan, essential for a day that involves a lot of scenic driving and multiple stops.

Traveling in a small group of no more than eight people is a real advantage. It creates a cozy, less rushed atmosphere, and the guide can tailor the commentary based on the group’s interests. Plus, the driver is professional and friendly, making the transfer between destinations smooth and relaxing.

Exploring Blagaj: Monastery, River, and Heritage

The first stop is Blagaj, a tiny town packed with history and natural beauty. It’s best known for its cliff-side Dervish monastery and the source of the Buna River, which emerges from a deep, mystical spring. Visitors often describe the setting as almost fairy-tale-like, with the monastery perched dramatically above the river and lush greenery all around.

Our reviews echo the sentiment that Blagaj offers a peaceful, almost spiritual atmosphere. One reviewer noted that the guide shared personal stories and historical context, making the visit much more meaningful. You can wander through the old town, soak in the serenity, or snap some fantastic photos of the water and architecture.

A quick 50-minute stop, this site provides a perfect blend of culture and scenery without feeling rushed. Since admission is free, you can spend your time soaking up the vibe or grabbing a local coffee or snack nearby.

Discovering Pocitelj: Bosnia’s Open-Air Museum

Next, your guide will take you to Pocitelj, a medieval town built in the 14th century on the banks of the Neretva River. Often called Bosnia and Herzegovina’s open-air museum, Pocitelj’s unique appeal lies in its Ottoman architecture, ancient stone streets, and panoramic views of the river and surrounding hills.

The town’s natural setting in a karst amphitheater makes it feel like stepping back in time. Visitors frequently mention the harmonious blend of human craftsmanship and nature—a true fairy-tale setting. The town is also rich in organic produce like figs, grapes, and pomegranates, which you might get to sample if you linger a little longer.

One traveler highlighted that the town’s strategic location and history make it more than just a pretty face — it’s a living piece of history. The visit lasts about an hour, and since entry is free, you can stroll freely, explore the narrow alleyways, and enjoy the peaceful vibe.

Kravice Waterfalls: Nature’s Refreshing Oasis

Arguably the highlight of the day, Kravice Waterfalls is a true spectacle. It’s described as a peaceful oasis of lush greenery and cascading water, where visitors can swim, relax, or enjoy a cold drink in the shade. The waterfalls stretch for about 25 meters wide, with inviting pools perfect for a quick dip.

What makes Kravice special isn’t just its beauty — it’s the lively, communal atmosphere. Tourists can rent canoes, lounge on the nearby beaches, or indulge in some local cuisine at restaurants just across the water. The views are stunning, especially with the sunlight dancing on the water, making it a favorite for many reviewers.

Please note that admission costs around $10 per person if you choose to swim or explore more in-depth, so budget accordingly. Travelers have raved about the chance to unwind here after a busy morning, with one reviewer calling it an “oasis of fun and peace.”

Final Stop: Dubrovnik, Your End Point

The last leg of the journey is a straightforward drive into Dubrovnik, where you’ll be dropped off at a location of your choice within the city. This flexibility is great, especially if you have a hotel or specific spot in mind. The transfer itself takes about 10 minutes from the waterfalls, making the day feel complete without long, tiring drives.

The Value and Practicalities

At $144.60 per person, this tour offers excellent value considering the transport, guided commentary, and multiple scenic stops. The small-group setting makes it feel more personalized, and the professional guide’s storytelling adds layers of context you might not get on a self-guided trip.

Since the tour is booked roughly 45 days in advance and offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before, it’s convenient planning-wise. Plus, the option for hotel pickup and drop-off simplifies logistics, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area.

Food and drinks are not included, so bring some snacks, water, or plan to enjoy a meal at Kravice or in Dubrovnik. Entrance fees at Kravice are about $10, which is worth it for the chance to swim and relax at one of the region’s most beloved waterfalls.

What Reviewers Say: Authentic Insights

The glowing reviews speak volumes about the quality of guides like Esmer, Vedad, and Adis, who are praised for their knowledge, friendliness, and ability to keep the day flowing smoothly. One reviewer described Vedad as “a gem,” adding that he answered all questions with patience and humor, making their trip memorable.
