An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Journey Begins: Convenience and Comfort

The transfer starts with a pickup from Dubrovnik, with the driver (who speaks English) providing a comfortable ride to your first stop. Since it’s a private group, your experience is tailored to your pace and interests. The total duration is around six hours, but that includes travel time and stops, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy each location.

Kravice Waterfalls: Nature’s Refreshing Gem

The first stop is Kravice Waterfalls, about an hour and a half from Dubrovnik. Here, we loved the way the tour allows for genuine exploration rather than rushing through. The falls are a captivating sight — a cascade of water plunging into a green pool, framed by lush foliage. You can take a swim if you like, which many travelers find invigorating, especially if the weather is warm.

One reviewer shared, “The waterfall’s beauty is immense, and the chance to dip into the cool water made the stop worth every minute.” The area has well-maintained paths for walking and plenty of photo opportunities. Keep in mind, if you plan to swim, you should change into dry clothes afterward, as wet attire isn’t permitted in the vehicle — a small but practical detail.

Pojitelj: A Medieval Village with Ottoman Charm

Next is Pojitelj, a tiny but striking village that feels like stepping into a postcard. The stone streets, old fortress walls, and the Ottoman-style architecture make it a photographer’s dream. The village is compact, so wandering around at your own pace is easy.

Many travelers love the authenticity of Pojitelj, with one mentioning, “It’s like a living museum, with every corner telling a story.” You can visit the fortress walls, walk along the riverbank, or just sit and soak up the peaceful vibe. The guided element isn’t included, but the village’s charm makes self-guided exploration rewarding.

Blagaj Tekke: Serenity by the Buna River

The final stop before Mostar is Blagaj, home to the famous Dervish Tekke on the Buna River. This tranquil spot, with its whitewashed monastery and peaceful surroundings, is perfect for those looking to unwind. You might choose to relax at a riverside café, explore the nearby cave spring, or take a few quiet photos.

Reviews highlight the calm atmosphere: “It’s an ideal place to sit with a coffee and watch the river flow by.” The site offers a glimpse into spiritual life and natural beauty combined. Since the visit is flexible, you can spend as much or as little time here as you like.

Arriving in Mostar

After these stops, the drive continues to Mostar, where the famous Old Bridge awaits. While the transfer doesn’t include a guided tour of Mostar, the journey there feels smoother knowing you’ve experienced some of Bosnia’s highlights along the way.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The price covers the transfer service, the driver, and free time at each stop. No guided tours or entrance fees are included, which gives you the freedom to explore independently. Bring your swimwear, comfortable shoes, camera, snacks, and water to make the most of your stops. Remember, smoking isn’t allowed during the transfer.
