Searching for a makarska taxi to get you back to Split after your Riviera stay? The drive from Makarska to Split follows one of the most celebrated stretches of the Adriatic coast — the Biokovo mountain on one side, crystal-clear sea on the other — and with Go Shuttle, you ride it in a private vehicle at a fixed price, picked up from your door and delivered directly to your Split destination. No bus connections, no taxi hunting at the seafront, no stress at the end of a great holiday.
Whether you're leaving from a hotel on the Makarska promenade, an apartment above the town, or a villa on the hillside, your Go Shuttle driver will be there at the agreed time with luggage space ready. The journey covers approximately 89.8 km (55.8 miles) and takes around 1 hour 20 minutes — a comfortable, scenic ride that makes a fitting end to a Makarska Riviera holiday.
Makarska to Split — Private Transfer
The drive from Makarska to Split is one of the most scenic stretches of road in all of Croatia. Your transfer begins right at your accommodation, where your driver arrives on time ready to load luggage while you take a last look at the Biokovo massif rising dramatically behind the town. From the moment you leave Makarska, the Adriatic coast unfolds to your left in a parade of turquoise coves, pine-backed beaches, and small whitewashed villages.
Heading northwest along the Jadranska magistrala, the route follows the full length of the Makarska Riviera — the road clinging to the hillside with sweeping sea views across to the islands of Brač and Hvar. The coastline here is consistently rated among the most beautiful in Europe, and the drive north gives you one last extended look at everything that made your Riviera stay memorable.
Approaching Split, the route passes through a dramatic moment — the Omiš canyon, where the Cetina river cuts through towering limestone cliffs and flows into the Adriatic at the base of a medieval hilltop fortress. This gorge marks the transition from the Riviera to the wider Split region, and the road emerges onto the coastal plain for the final run into the city. Your driver drops you directly at your destination — hotel, ferry terminal, bus station, or private address — so you arrive relaxed and on schedule.
Your Go Shuttle driver is thoroughly familiar with seasonal traffic conditions on this route. In July and August the coastal road through the Riviera and Omiš area can become congested, particularly in the afternoon. Your driver will account for this when calculating your departure time, ensuring you reach Split with the time you need.
☀️ Summer Riviera tip: In July and August, the coastal road can add 20–35 minutes to the journey. If you're catching a ferry from Split harbour or need to reach the bus station for a connection, let your driver know at booking — Go Shuttle drivers plan arrival times specifically around your departure schedules.
The Makarska–Split coastal road is Croatia's most congested in summer. Our drivers run it daily and know exactly when to leave to avoid the worst delays.
We collect you from your exact Makarska address — hotel on the promenade, apartment in the old town, or hillside villa — no need to drag luggage to a pickup point.
Your Makarska to Split transfer price is agreed upfront and doesn't change if summer traffic adds time to the journey. What you book is what you pay.
We deliver you to any Split address — your hotel, a private apartment, the ferry port for onward island connections, or the bus station. Door to door, the whole way.
Makarska is one of Croatia's most popular family destinations. Child seats are available on request — just let us know ages and requirements at booking.
On-demand taxis are scarce on the Riviera in peak season. Pre-book your transfer and you're guaranteed a vehicle at your door — no scrambling at checkout time.
Reserve your transfer without paying in advance. Settle with your driver at the end of the journey in cash or by card — no credit card needed to book.
Early morning departure before the beach crowds? Late evening checkout? Go Shuttle operates around the clock — your transfer time is your choice, not ours.
A Makarska to Split taxi transfer is more than just a ride. Every booking includes:
Select the vehicle that fits your group and luggage. All options are modern, clean, air-conditioned, and fully insured for the Makarska to Split route.
All vehicles are fully air-conditioned — essential for summer departures when temperatures along the Makarska Riviera regularly exceed 35°C and the coastal road offers little shade.
