Heading from Split to Drvenik for a ferry crossing to the islands of Hvar or Korčula? A reliable taxi in Split Croatia service is the most direct and stress-free way to reach Drvenik ferry terminal — door pickup from your exact address, a fixed price, and a professional driver who gets you there in time for your sailing connection. With Go Shuttle, the 113 km journey along the southern Dalmatian coast takes approximately 1 hour 32 minutes, and your driver will plan the departure precisely around your ferry timetable so you never miss a sailing.
Drvenik is a small coastal village south of the Makarska Riviera, best known as one of the main ferry crossing points for Hvar island (Sućuraj) and Korčula.

Whether you're transiting for the islands or staying in Drvenik itself, Go Shuttle delivers you directly and on time.

Your Journey: Taxi in Split Croatia to Drvenik
The drive from Split to Drvenik takes you south along the full length of the Makarska Riviera — one of the most scenic stretches of the Adriatic coast — before the road continues beyond Makarska into the quieter, less-visited southern reaches of the Dalmatian coastline. Your driver picks you up from your exact address in Split and heads south on the Jadranska magistrala, passing through the dramatic Omiš canyon where the Cetina river meets the sea beneath a medieval fortress.
Beyond Omiš the route follows the coast through the resort villages of Brela, Baška Voda, and the Makarska Riviera proper, with the towering Biokovo massif rising to the east and the Adriatic stretching west toward the islands of Brač and Hvar. South of Makarska the road continues through Tučepi, Podgora, and the quieter southern Riviera villages before reaching Gradac — one of the most southerly points of the Makarska coast — and then Drvenik itself.
Your driver delivers you directly to the Drvenik ferry terminal or to your specific accommodation in the village. If you're catching the ferry to Sućuraj on Hvar, your driver knows the timetable and will plan the departure from Split to ensure you arrive with time to board comfortably.
💡 Ferry tip: The Drvenik–Sućuraj ferry route is operated by Jadrolinija and runs multiple times daily. In peak summer (July–August) the route is very busy — arriving at the terminal at least 30–45 minutes before departure is recommended for vehicle ferries. Foot passengers can board more quickly. Let your driver know your ferry time when booking and departure from Split will be planned accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions — Split to Drvenik Transfer
How much does a private transfer from Split to Drvenik cost?+
A private taxi from Split to Drvenik starts from 180€ per vehicle. The rate covers the whole vehicle regardless of passenger count — one person or a group of four pay the same vehicle price. For families and groups heading to the Drvenik ferry this is excellent value.
How far is Split from Drvenik?+
The road distance from Split to Drvenik is approximately 113 km (69.9 miles). Under normal conditions the drive takes around 1 hour 32 minutes via the coastal Jadranska magistrala. In July and August, traffic through the Makarska Riviera area can add 15–25 minutes, which your driver will account for in the planned departure time.
Which ferry runs from Drvenik to Hvar?+
The Jadrolinija car and passenger ferry operates between Drvenik and Sućuraj on the eastern tip of Hvar island. The crossing takes approximately 35 minutes. This is the fastest road-to-Hvar connection for travellers coming from the Makarska Riviera direction, and significantly shorter than the Split–Stari Grad crossing. The ferry runs multiple times daily — in summer up to 10 or more crossings per day. Vehicle spaces must be pre-booked in July and August.
How can I pay for my transfer?+
For 95% of bookings no upfront payment is required — you pay your driver at the end of the journey in cash or by credit card. All prices are fixed and fully inclusive of fuel, tolls, and taxes. No hidden charges apply.
Can I cancel my booking?+
Yes — cancellations more than 24 hours before pickup are completely free. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable. Contact us at info@taxitransfers-split.com or via WhatsApp at +385976072953.
What will I see on the drive from Split to Drvenik?+
The route follows the southern coastal highway through the Omiš canyon and along the full length of the Makarska Riviera — passing through Brela, Baška Voda, Makarska, Tučepi, and Podgora with the Biokovo massif rising dramatically behind. South of Makarska the Riviera becomes quieter through Drašnice and Živogošće, with Gradac marking the southern end of the tourist strip before the road reaches Drvenik and its distinctive small harbour.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?+
All Go Shuttle transfers are priced per vehicle. A solo traveller or a family of four pay the same vehicle rate, making private transfers very cost-effective for groups of two or more compared to per-person bus alternatives.
How early should I leave Split to catch a specific ferry from Drvenik?+
Allow approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours before your intended ferry departure in peak summer. This accounts for the 1 hour 32 minute drive plus a comfortable buffer at the terminal for foot passengers, or 30–45 minutes buffer for vehicle ferry boarding. Your driver will confirm the exact recommended departure time from Split based on your specific sailing and current traffic conditions.
Is Drvenik worth visiting as a destination in its own right?+
Yes. Drvenik is a genuine Dalmatian fishing village that has largely avoided the tourist development of the Makarska Riviera to its north. The village has a small harbour, clear shallow water, good local seafood, and a pace of life that feels authentically Croatian rather than resort-oriented. For those seeking an alternative to the main Riviera resorts, Drvenik and the surrounding area — including the nearby hamlet of Zaostrog with its Franciscan monastery — offer an unhurried and very beautiful corner of southern Dalmatia.
