About this experience
Hospitality and professionalism are our virtues. Travelers will get top-rated service with experienced, English speaking driver.
We offer a ride in comfortable car, with free WiFi onboard. Child seats are available if requested upfront and are free of charge. Tour is not guided, meaning travelers will get their time alone in the park, which we believe is the best way to see the park because there are guide tables with instructions all over the park
Driver will wait for travelers outside the park. We require our travelers to let us know 30 minutes before they want to be picked up for the ride back. After meeting for the ride back, it's two hour drive to get back to Sibenik.
