A Private Transfer from Tivat to Dubrovnik: Seamless Comfort and Scenic Views
Traveling between Tivat, Montenegro, and Dubrovnik, Croatia, can sometimes feel like navigating a maze—especially if you’re unfamiliar with the routes or rely on public transportation. For approximately $278.07 per group, you can bypass the hassles and enjoy a private, door-to-door transfer that takes roughly two hours. This service is ideal if you value comfort and flexibility, as it offers pickup at your preferred time and location in Tivat and drop-off anywhere in Dubrovnik, including hotels and the airport.
What we love about this transfer is how effortless it makes your journey. First, the personalized pickup means you won’t have to struggle with schedules or crowded buses. Second, the spacious, air-conditioned vehicle and a professional driver with at least five years of experience ensure a smooth ride, plus they’re happy to assist with luggage and answer questions along the way.
A small consideration is that this experience is booked an average of 16 days in advance, so it’s extra important to plan ahead. Also, while the route offers some beautiful scenery, the actual ride is primarily about comfort and convenience rather than sightseeing—though you can look forward to passing by some picturesque spots and small Montenegro and Croatian towns.
This transfer suits travelers who appreciate a hassle-free journey and want to start or end their time in the region comfortably. Whether you’re arriving after a long flight or heading to your next adventure, this service makes the move between two stunning coastlines straightforward and relaxed.

The Route and What to Expect
The journey begins in Tivat, a town that has become one of Montenegro’s top tourist destinations. Many travelers might already know Tivat for its Porto Montenegro, a modern marina filled with luxury yachts and stunning vistas. It’s also worth mentioning that Tivat features attractions like the Renaissance Summer House Buca, the Flowers Island (Ostrvo Cvijeca) with sacred monuments, and the natural beauty of Plavi Horizonti beach. The town is lively, with a marina, cultural events, and a charming old nucleus at Gornja Lastva perched 300 meters above sea level.
As you leave Tivat, your driver will guide you through scenic coastal roads. The route includes passing through small picturesque towns and bays, giving you a glimpse of Montenegro’s stunning coast. You might find the drive passing by Herceg Novi, with its historic fortress, and the many charming spots along the way. The route then crosses the border into Croatia, where you’ll experience a brief border control—expected and straightforward, but worth noting as part of the journey.
Once in Croatia, your driver will navigate through Cavtat, Mlini, and other small villages before reaching Dubrovnik. The final stretch into Dubrovnik’s famous Old Town offers some of the most memorable vistas—the fortified city walls, terracotta roofs, and marble streets. The driver will drop you off at your specified location, whether that’s your hotel or Dubrovnik airport.
Why the Service Shines
We loved the personalized nature of this service. Unlike shared shuttles, the pickup time and location are fully flexible, allowing you to plan according to your schedule. The professional driver, who speaks English and is well-versed in the area, helps with luggage and provides useful tips about the scenery and local points of interest.
Another highlight is the comfort. The vehicle is high-class, air-conditioned, and spacious—perfect after a flight or long day on the road. Travelers who have used this service often mention the smooth ride and the helpfulness of the driver, with one review stating, “Chauffeur sympa qui nous explique également quelques informations sur le paysage” (friendly driver who also shares some information about the scenery).
Potential Drawbacks to Consider
While the experience is largely positive, it’s worth noting that the trip duration can vary depending on traffic and border crossing times. Sometimes, the drive might take just a little longer than two hours, especially during peak hours or busy border crossings. Also, this service is designed for up to four people, so larger groups will need to look for alternative options.
Some travelers might prefer a cheaper option like public transit, but they should be prepared for longer travel times, potential inconveniences, or the hassle of managing luggage.
Who This Transfer is Perfect For
If you’re someone who values comfort over cost and wants a seamless, stress-free experience, this private transfer suits you well. It’s ideal for first-time visitors who don’t want to worry about navigating border crossings or unfamiliar roads. It’s also a good fit if you’re arriving late or want to make the most of your limited time in either town.
