Private Tour to Mostar, Pocitelj and Kravice Waterfalls
A full-day journey through medieval stone towns, iconic bridges, and emerald cascades across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This private tour to Mostar from Split takes you across the Croatian border into a landscape defined by centuries of layered history, vibrant local culture, and dramatic natural scenery. Over 12 hours, a dedicated guide leads a small private group through some of the western Balkans most compelling destinations.
The route begins along the Neretva River delta before stopping in Pocitelj, a fortified town whose origins trace to the 14th century. Cobbled lanes and Ottoman-era architecture create a setting that rewards photographers and history enthusiasts alike, and the stop also offers a chance to drink Turkish coffee prepared according to a traditional recipe.
Mostar anchors the midpoint of the day with its celebrated Old Bridge, bustling bazaar lanes, and mosques that reflect the city's complex past. Guests enjoy guided exploration followed by two hours of independent time to browse local artisan shops or sit at a riverside cafe. The day closes at Kravice, where a series of waterfalls drops into wide turquoise pools set inside a green valley.

Itinerary
The tour departs from Split and heads southeast, following the Adriatic coast before crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina. The drive passes through the fertile Neretva delta, offering early views of the river that will appear throughout the day.
The first stop is Pocitelj, a hillside settlement founded in the 14th century and shaped further during Ottoman rule. Guests explore defensive towers, a mosque, and terraced stone houses before enjoying traditional Turkish coffee at a local establishment.
Arriving in Mostar, a guide leads the group through the historic core, covering the Old Bridge, the surrounding bazaar, and the city's mosques and cultural landmarks. The tour explains the city's layered history spanning Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern periods.
Two hours of unaccompanied time allow guests to browse artisan shops, dine at a local restaurant, or watch divers leap from the Old Bridge into the Neretva below. Bosnian dishes such as burek and baklava are recommended at the market stalls and small eateries nearby.
The afternoon takes the group to Kravice, where the Trebizat River spills over a broad limestone shelf into a series of deep green pools. Guests may swim in the natural pools at the base of the falls before the return journey begins.
The group travels back to Split, completing the full 12-hour private day tour. Arrival time in Split depends on traffic and road conditions along the return route.
