Mostar, Pocitelj And Kravice

A 12-hour day trip from Split, listed on the live booking page.

Overview

This Gray Line Croatia day trip packs three stops in Bosnia and Herzegovina into one long outing from Split, Trogir or Omiš. After crossing the border, the tour pauses at the medieval town of Počitelj, then continues to Mostar for a guided walk with a licensed local guide and free time afterward. The final stop is Kravica Waterfall, where there is a chance to swim, before the return drive. The listed duration is 12 hours, though several travellers report the day can run longer when border queues build up.

Transport is by air-conditioned coach with wifi on board, and the group can be large, with up to 53 travellers. A professional guide accompanies the trip throughout, with a second local guide taking over in Mostar itself. Food, drinks and two cash-only fees are not included: the Kravice Falls entrance of 10 euros per person and a 5 euro per person border fee, both payable at the meeting point.

It suits travellers who want a structured first look at Herzegovina without arranging a border crossing on their own, and who can handle a lot of time on a bus. Reviewers consistently praise the guiding, and just as consistently warn that the border crossing can eat up hours, so it rewards patience more than a tight schedule.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in reviews and in the operator's own notes, and they shape the day more than anything else.

• Bring plenty of cash. Two fees are collected in cash at the meeting point: 10 euros for the Kravice Falls entrance and 5 euros for the border crossing. Reviewers also advise carrying cash generally, noting that card payments are often not accepted in Bosnia, so bring enough for food and shopping as well.
• Border delays. The crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina can be slow, and several travellers reported waits of two hours or more at checkpoints. Guides are generally credited with handling the process efficiently, but patience is part of the deal.
• A long day on the bus. The listed duration is 12 hours, and some reviewers said the day stretched longer because of border queues. The coach is air-conditioned with wifi, and one traveller noted it is comfortable enough to nap on between stops.
• What to wear. The operator recommends swimsuits, comfortable clothes and comfortable shoes. One reviewer found Mostar slippery underfoot and another noted the weather in Bosnia can be warmer than in Croatia, so sturdy footwear and heat preparation are both sensible.
• Crowds and timing. Spring visits are mentioned as a cooler alternative.
• Passport required. Passport details for every participant are needed at booking, and a current valid passport must be shown on the day. Visa requirements for Bosnia and Herzegovina are the traveller's own responsibility to confirm before departure.

Common issues. One reviewer felt the first stop was too short to be worthwhile, and another was let down by a brief window at the waterfalls before the walk back up. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, pets are not allowed, infants must sit on laps, and a moderate level of physical fitness is expected. The operator can cancel for weather or if a minimum number of travellers is not met, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered.
