Makarska is the central place of Makarska Riviera, the part of Croatia famous for some of the most beautiful pebbly beaches in Croatia and the unique blend of Biokovo Mountain and the Adriatic Sea. It’s the place we live in and it’s really a heaven on the Earth. We also spend a lot of time on Biokovo, hiking or exploring its secluded places. This article will be about Tuk Tuk Makarska, one of the best ways of reaching Biokovo Mountain, and its attractions such as Skywalk Biokovo.
Makarska Tuk Tuk tours are a great and eco-friendly way of driving through the narrow roads of Biokovo Nature Park and you’ll feel like gliding over the road. The thing is that the Biokovo Nature Park can get very crowded in the summer so a lot of people choosing to visit it by car lose their nerves and ruin the whole experience. With a Tuk Tuk Makarska, you have the chance to enjoy the carefree experience in which you don’t have to worry about buying tickets, driving through the park, and finding parking at Skywalk Biokovo.
Why Choose a Tuk Tuk Tour in Makarska?
First of all, what a Tuk Tuk is? They are small, often electric, and open-air vehicles that offer a fun and panoramic ride to secluded and hard-to-reach places. You couldn’t see a lot of them in Croatia some 10 years ago, but since then, a lot of tour operators have seen the advantage of using these kinds of vehicles and nowadays you have all kinds of Tuk Tuk tours in Croatia.
Here’s why we believe that the Tuk Tuk Makarska tour would be a great option for reaching Biokovo Nature Park:

Skywalk Biokovo is one of the most recent and most famous attractions of the Biokovo Mountain. It’s also one of the main reasons travelers book a Tuk Tuk in Makarska.
