Makarska Skywalk Tuk Tuk Tour with Fast Track Ticket

Pickup on the Makarska Riviera

The tour starts with pickup from one of the points along the Makarska Riviera, the sixty-kilometre strip of pebble beaches, pine woods and resort villages squeezed between the Adriatic and the wall of Biokovo. You choose your pickup point at checkout, from Brela and Baška Voda in the north through Makarska town to Tučepi and Podgora in the south, and wait outside your hotel or apartment ten minutes before the agreed time. The open tuk-tuk is electric and silent, so the ride through the coast road is as much a part of the experience as the summit.

Many visitors looking for Makarska things to do with a short time budget pick this tour because it needs no car, no hiking and no ticket queue. The whole outing is about two and a half hours door to door, which leaves the rest of the day free for the beach.

The mountain road through Biokovo Nature Park

From the coast the tuk-tuk turns inland onto the Biokovo road, which climbs from the park entrance above Makarska in a long series of hairpin bends through black pine forest, bare karst and meadows grazed by sheep. Biokovo has been a nature park since 1981 and is the second-highest mountain range in Croatia; its summit, Sveti Jure, reaches 1,762 metres and carries a tiny chapel and a transmitter visible from the whole riviera. The road is narrow and dramatic, with sheer drops on one side and the sea growing wider with every bend, which is why an open vehicle driven by someone who knows every corner is the most relaxing way up.

Our guide explains the geology of the limestone, the bora wind that shapes the trees and the mouflon, chamois and eagles that live in the park. A Biokovo Nature Park tour by tuk-tuk takes roughly forty minutes to reach the Skywalk from Makarska.

Skywalk Biokovo, the glass platform at 1,228 metres

Skywalk Biokovo opened in 2020 at the Ravna Vlaška viewpoint on the edge of the mountain, 1,228 metres above the sea. It is a horseshoe-shaped walkway with a glass floor that extends eleven metres beyond the cliff, so you stand with nothing but transparent panels between your feet and the slopes far below. A visitor centre at the entrance explains the park, and from the platform the view takes in the full length of the riviera, the Makarska peninsula, the islands of Brač and Hvar and the Pelješac peninsula, with the Italian coast appearing on exceptionally clear days.

Skywalk Biokovo tickets are included in this tour with fast-track entry through a separate lane, which matters in July and August when the queue can be long. You have around thirty to forty minutes on the platform and the surrounding paths for photos.

Views over the riviera and the islands

The Biokovo viewpoint above Makarska is famous because the mountain rises almost straight out of the sea, so the panorama has none of the foothills that soften other coastal views. Directly below lies Makarska with its horseshoe harbour and the pine-covered Sveti Petar peninsula; to the north the beaches of Brela with their white pebbles; to the south Tučepi, Podgora and the long coast towards the Neretva delta. Across the channel, Brač shows its quarries and the distinctive point of Zlatni Rat beach near Bol, while Hvar stretches long and thin behind it.

Light changes the scene completely. The morning tour at 10:00 gives sharp, clear air and softer temperatures; the 13:00 departure brings the strongest colours on the sea. Whichever you choose, the best time to visit Skywalk Biokovo is a day with no cloud sitting on the summit.

The snack stop and the return to Makarska

On the way down the tuk-tuk pauses at a quiet spot on the mountain for a traditional Croatian snack, typically local cheese, cured meat, olives and bread, served with cold soft drinks and the same view you have just photographed from above. It is a short, relaxed break of about twenty minutes rather than a meal, so plan lunch or dinner for after the tour. The descent through the hairpins is slower and cooler than the climb, with time for the guide to answer questions about the villages, the old mule paths and the history of the Makarska Riviera.

Back on the coast our driver drops you at the same point where you were collected. If you are wondering how to get to Skywalk Biokovo from Makarska without a rental car or a steep walk, this tuk-tuk tour is the simplest and most scenic answer.
