Rising dramatically above the Adriatic coast, Biokovo Nature Park is a striking mountain massif in Dalmatia, offering breathtaking vistas, unique flora, and unforgettable hiking experiences. Its rugged peaks, limestone ridges, and sudden cliffs dive almost vertically into the sea, creating a jaw-dropping contrast that defines the Croatian coastline.

Designated as a Nature Park in 1981, Biokovo is not just a backdrop to the Makarska Riviera—it’s a world of wild beauty, geological wonders, and panoramic adventure.

Top Things to Do in Biokovo Nature Park

Walk the Biokovo Skywalk

This glass-floored platform juts out from a cliff at over 1,200 meters above sea level. It offers unobstructed views of the Adriatic Sea, nearby islands, and the Makarska Riviera—it’s not for the faint-hearted, but it’s a must for anyone seeking a thrill.

Hike to Sveti Jure (1,762 m)

The highest peak in the park (and the second-highest in Croatia) rewards climbers with panoramic views stretching all the way to Italy on a clear day. You can also reach the summit by a scenic mountain road.

Explore Endemic Plant Life

Biokovo is a biodiversity hotspot, home to over 1,500 plant species, including many endemics. Nature lovers can discover rare alpine flowers and unique karst ecosystems.

Wildlife Watching and Bird Photography

The park is home to eagles, chamois, wild boar, and reptiles. Its high cliffs and quiet ridges are ideal for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Cycling and Paragliding

Adrenaline seekers can enjoy challenging cycling routes and paragliding flights from the higher ridges, offering incredible aerial views of the Dalmatian coast.

How to Get to Biokovo Nature Park

Biokovo is located just inland from the town of Makarska, and easily accessible by car from Split (1.5 hours) or Dubrovnik (2.5 hours). The main entrance is at Vrata Biokova, where visitors can get maps, info, and permits.
