I have been several times before at Mt Biokovo Nature Park, but this is my first visit after the Skywalk opened. It's well worth a visit, but too little is being done to make it more accessible for visitors. In summer, those with cars have to wait 3-4 hours or don't manage to get in at all. I was lucky to be on the motorbike. But, the road is in a very poor condition, full of potholes and with sand and gravel in the curves, so each day a few visitors with motorbikes and scooters fall, often with injuries

It is unexceptionable that a natural park can only be accessed by paying a toll, even to enter on foot. Even more incomprehensible is that all those vehicles of all types, sizes and environmental impacts (petrol, diesel, etc.) are allowed into a natural park. Kilometer-long queues of cars going up and down non-stop and at a walking pace, inhalations of exhaust fumes, noises and shouts, aspects that are anything but inclined to any principle of protection and safeguarding of nature.. Finally, the rudeness, the the staff's arrogance and rude way of responding make the visit even more unpleasant and irritating.
I recommend Conero, Circeo, Gaeta and many other locations located mainly in Italy.

Access is limited to 20 cars per hour and you have to buy the ticket on the web (€8 for one car and 2 people ). The access road is narrow but there are improvements regularly. Be careful because you must nevertheless be careful especially if you come across a large car.
Incredible panoramic view near the glass pontoon.

Fantastic day trip. New view point over the cliff was not completely finished when we were there, but soon to open. We went all the way to the top of the mountain (quite some way from the entrance), encountering cows and wild horses along the way. Road is paved all the way, but very narrow (one car can pass only), loads of bands and have to pull back at some points when approaching cars are on the road. Outstanding view from the top of the mountain! Can see Italian coast on clear days! Well worth visiting, but take off peak times to avoid congestion on the road.

It's not even remotely a natural park, it's just a scenic spot. Rows of cars with their engines running along the ascent and descent route, noise pollution and rudeness of the reception staff who, rather than welcoming, make you want to escape. I wonder what the point of paying entry is if none of those proceeds go towards safeguarding the place.

The Skywalk is an experience and the park is probably Unpacked. The view is great!Why two stars?
The main reason is the approach. As long as there is no oncoming traffic, everything is relaxed. Suddenly, if you are faced with a vehicle, on the right the slope and it is 100 meters back, the mood changes very quickly.
In my view, it is irresponsible not to make massive reference to these circumstances on the ground.
There are alternate points at a distance of 30-150 meters. However, this distance may also have to be covered backwards in Colone. Experienced and forward-looking drivers are required here.
This concerns the approach to the Skywalk. The road to the summit is narrowing again.
There is no control or traffic guidance by staff. The slots at the entrance are also not respected. Thus, oncoming traffic must be expected at all times.
So we could not enjoy the stay and drove down quite quickly. Much thus remained undiscovered.
The second reason is the staff. Unkindness seems to be the main recruitment criterion.
Apart from that, the presence of these ladies and gentlemen is completely pointless.
Don't expect any help.

In mid June the road was closed for repair work, except for Sundays. Unfortunately the only Sunday we were in the area, the road was still closed due to high winds (although tour vans were being allowed to go up - some animals are more equal than others!). I did not see any mention of this possibility when I was researching Biokovo Nature Park so it was a big disappointment. We had scheduled two nights/3 days in this area expressly for the purpose of driving up to Sv Jure and hiking around the trails there but were not able to. Beware!

We attended this as part of an excusion with the dioklo adventure in September 2023. The guide was so lovely and kind straight off the bat.
We drove to Biokovo nature park, where he pulled over next to an amazing view and said we could get out to take pictures.
We stopped to see the wild horses and got out to pet them as they came over. They were so lovely and one mama had her foal with her. We saw cows, too, walking down the valleys and grazing.
This is a truly vast and beautiful nature park. There are plenty of stopping places and picnic spots with unforgettable views.

The views are fantastic and the surroundings are nothing less than breathtaking.
However this was probably also our worst experience in Croatia:
First some context: I am a seasoned traveler. Not easily scared and open for any (most) challenges, but this is probably the most dangerous road I have crossed, including some mountain roads in Peru/Argentina and South-East Asia.
Driving up the narrow roads, I started to wonder how one can cross each-other during high season. Once in a while, you have a spot where you can pass each other (read: two normal cars passing each other). My worst nightmare became true when two tour buses came down on a spot where no passing was possible. These drivers are used driving there, but forced me to back up on a road as narrow as a car + 0,5 meter. With limited vision and a bend, I started to reverse downwards... My rental car got damaged by the rocks (of course.... Murphy... Luckily, I had/have extended my car insurance. The tour bus was of course gone as soon as he saw the opportunity to drive).
In the end it turned out well, but my wife got scared and I was, given the events, not at ease. Talking with a park guard at the info point at 1440 meter, I started to understand that they are also scared when driving these narrow road (not even considering that rocks can come down due to changing weather).
Don't get me wrong. This is a park with fantastic views, but once in a while there is a price to pay: My damage is just material...
Some learnings:
* If you are a seasoned biker: grab that bike and accept the challenge!
* If you have a motorbike go ahead but mind the "blind" bends.
* Tour buses go up in the morning and return the same way
* A string of cars can come on your way and you may have to cross at really narrow places. Bear in mind the kind of risks you want to take. You may be very skilled, but your opponent in the other car... I don't know...
* You can't do this trip in just 1,5 hours (as stated by some in other reviews)! You need focus and at least 2-3 hours.
My advice: go up that mountain till the first stop (restaurant) and second stop (approx. 1220 meter). Take a hike from there and be safe(r).
To the management of the park: choose! Or you only allow busses and bikes. Or cars and bikes. Tour busses and cars at the same time is nothing less than unacceptable!
Happy to comment if one may need additional information or clarification!

Horrible experience with the horses in the park ! Do not go near these beasts. They appear to be tame and looking for a food treat and a little attention. DO NOT feed these animals or encourage proximity. My friend was seriously head blocked by one of these creature 3 weeks ago and has been in and out of the Split ER as well as private clinics for complications from a head trauma experienced when the horse pushed him to the ground. This should not have happened ! The Park should post warnings that these may appear to be docile sweet creatures. They are not. Very angry !!!

Yes, we took a taxi to Makar and walked up to the Vosic peak from there. It took us about 4 hours up and two hours down on a rather strenuous but well marked paths. Amazing views! The children who were 9, 11, 11, and 14 all made it, but they are used to hiking.

Tenemos pensado que el dia de camino entre Dobrovnik i Split realizar un recorrido por el Nature Park Biokovo.
¿Cuánto tiempo lleva visitarlo, con algunas paradas para disfrutar de las vistas?
¿Se puede llegar en coche hasta sv. Jure?
Gracias

Hi! How long does it take to get to the top of the mountain (Sv. Jure) by foot/ by car?
In which car park does it recommended to leave the car before the narrow roads? Thanks :)
Written January 15, 2016
Nekünk autóval kisebb megállókkal kb 3/4 óra volt. Érdemes ahol csak lehet megállni, mert egyrészt mindenhol gyönyörű másrészt kell a pihenő a sofőrnek.
It took cca 45 min for us with car. It's worth to take stops, because it's beautiful everywhere, and the driver will need a rest.

I have heard of a geological trail In the. Biokovo national park .does anybody know about it ? Thanks
Written August 16, 2015
The geological path is located near the area marked on topographic maps as Vilovik, starting at the road leading from the entrance to Biokovo Natural Park towards the highest peak of Sv. Jure (St. George), about 1 km behind Lemišini doci.
EDUCATIVE GEOLOGICAL PATH BENEATH VILOVIK
"The path is short (20 min easy walk), marked with geological marks, and boards on each site, explaining in simple words the origin of limestone, rock that for the most part constitutes the mountain of Biokovo, and part of surface Karst phenomena - škrape and sink-holes -found all around Biokovo."
