Visiting Imotski from Split and looking for a comfortable, direct connection? A reliable Split taxi service is the most convenient way to reach this remarkable inland town — door pickup from your exact Split address, a fixed price for the 86 km journey, and a professional driver who delivers you directly to Imotski in around 1 hour 8 minutes. With Go Shuttle, the drive through the Dalmatian hinterland to one of Croatia's most dramatically situated towns is as memorable as the destination itself.
Imotski is an inland town southeast of Split, perched on a limestone ridge above two extraordinary natural lakes — the vivid blue Modro jezero (Blue Lake) and the deep red-walled Crveno jezero (Red Lake), one of the deepest sinkholes in the world. These geological wonders, combined with the town's historic fortress and its reputation as a centre of traditional Dalmatian culture, make Imotski a genuinely exceptional day trip destination from Split. Go Shuttle gets you there and back in comfort.

Your Journey: Private Car from Split to Imotski Through the Dalmatian Interior
The drive from Split to Imotski takes you inland through a landscape that is almost entirely different from the coastal Dalmatia most visitors know — a journey through limestone karst plateaus, fertile poljes (karst plains), and dramatic mountain terrain that reveals the rugged, authentic character of the Dalmatian interior. Your driver picks you up from your exact Split address and heads east through the Mosor mountain foothills, leaving the coast behind quickly as the road climbs into the hinterland.
The route passes through the Sinj valley — the broad Sinjsko polje agricultural plain that has been farmed continuously since Roman times, flanked by mountains and known throughout Croatia for the annual Sinjska alka knightly tournament, a UNESCO-recognised tradition. Beyond Sinj the road continues into increasingly dramatic terrain, climbing through limestone ridges and descending into hidden valleys before the final approach to Imotski from the north.
Imotski announces itself dramatically — the old fortress of Topana visible on the ridge well before the road reaches the town, and the extraordinary void of Crveno jezero (Red Lake) opening without warning at the edge of the limestone plateau just metres from the town centre. Your driver delivers you to Imotski town centre, the lake viewpoints, or any specific address in or around the town.
💡 Visitor tip: Imotski's two lakes are the primary draw for most visitors. Modro jezero (Blue Lake) changes dramatically with the seasons — in summer it can partially dry out, revealing the lake bed, while in spring it fills to extraordinary levels. Crveno jezero (Red Lake) is one of the deepest sinkholes in the world at over 500 m deep, with vertical red limestone walls — views from the rim are among the most dramatic in all of Croatia. Ask your driver to drop you at the most convenient viewpoint for your planned visit.

Frequently Asked Questions — Split to Imotski Transfer
How much does a private transfer from Split to Imotski cost?+
A private taxi from Split to Imotski starts from 130€ per vehicle. The price covers the whole vehicle regardless of passenger count — a couple or a group of four pay the same vehicle rate, making it very cost-effective for shared day trips.
How far is Split from Imotski?+
The road distance from Split to Imotski is approximately 86.1 km (53.5 miles) via the inland route through Sinj. Under normal conditions the drive takes around 1 hour 8 minutes. The route involves some mountain road sections so journey time can vary slightly depending on traffic in Sinj and weather conditions in winter.
Can you drop me directly at the Red Lake or Blue Lake viewpoint?+
Yes. Your Go Shuttle driver can drop you at the viewpoint for Crveno jezero (Red Lake) or Modro jezero (Blue Lake) directly. The Red Lake viewpoint is a short walk from the town centre on the western edge of the town, while the Blue Lake descent point is reached from the eastern side. Specify which lake you want to visit first when booking and your driver will plan the drop-off accordingly.
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 inclusive of fuel and any applicable tolls. 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 Imotski?+
The inland route from Split to Imotski takes you through a very different Croatia from the coastal resorts. Leaving Split the road climbs into the Mosor mountain foothills before descending into the broad Sinjsko polje — a vast agricultural plain that has been farmed since antiquity, flanked by mountains and dominated by the historic fortress town of Sinj. Beyond Sinj the terrain becomes more dramatic, with limestone ridges and hidden valleys before the final approach to Imotski on its clifftop ridge above the two extraordinary lakes.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?+
All Go Shuttle transfers are priced per vehicle. One person or a group of four pay the same vehicle rate, making private transfers extremely cost-effective for groups compared to per-person alternatives. For a day trip to Imotski, splitting the vehicle cost among 3–4 people makes it very affordable.
What is the best time of year to visit Imotski's lakes?+
Both lakes are impressive year-round but each season offers something different. Spring (April–May) sees the Blue Lake at high water levels, often dramatically full and vividly coloured, while summer sees it drop significantly — sometimes partially drying out, which reveals the fascinating lake bed and allows swimming at the bottom. The Red Lake is most impressive in morning light when the walls glow. Autumn and winter bring the Blue Lake to its highest levels. Midweek visits in summer avoid the weekend crowds that are increasing as the lakes gain international recognition.
Can I book a return transfer from Imotski to Split on the same day?+
Yes, and we recommend doing so. Most visitors to Imotski come for a half-day or full-day excursion, spending 2–4 hours exploring the lakes and old town before returning to Split. If you book both the outward and return transfers together, a 5% discount is automatically applied to your total. Simply specify your preferred return time when booking the outward journey.
