ATV Riding near Dubrovnik: Countryside Quad Safari with Pickup

Ride through villages and clifftop views instead of staying on the coast

ATV riding near Dubrovnik takes you on a quad bike through countryside villages, olive groves and panoramic clifftop stops on a 33 km route outside the city. You ride your own bike (solo or shared), start from a hidden valley near Osojnik, and return to your hotel by the end of the morning. Hotel pickup and a local guide in English are included; children from age 10 can ride.

The Experience

The ride covers 33 km of countryside track starting in a small valley near Osojnik, just outside Dubrovnik. After you get your safety gear and a quad introduction from your guide, you head out through untouched landscape toward Modrič Kamen — a clifftop viewpoint accessible only by quad, perched high above Zaton Bay. From there the route drops into Orašac, a quiet village where your guide shares local stories, then follows the historic Via Franciscana (the Napoleon Road, built between 1810 and 1811) with sweeping views of the coastline and islands.

The second half winds through olive groves toward Gromača and the village of Ljubač, rolling hills and rural quiet filling the last stretch before you return to the starting point. The whole ride takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes of actual riding time. A refreshing drink waits at the base when you finish, and then your driver takes you back to your Dubrovnik accommodation.

You choose between riding solo on your own quad or sharing one with a partner at checkout. Either way, pickup from your hotel is included, so the only thing you arrange is showing up ready to ride. The guide speaks English and stays with the group the whole way.

What’s included

• Your quad bike and helmet.
• bottled water.
• pickup and return transfer from your Dubrovnik accommodation.
• a local guide in English who leads the whole ride and shares stories about the countryside and villages you pass through.

Yes. Your guide gives a quad introduction at the start before the ride begins, and the route is designed for all fitness levels. Children from age 10 can ride, though the operator does not recommend the activity for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnant travelers.

What's the Modrič Kamen viewpoint like?

Modrič Kamen is a dramatic cliff high above Zaton Bay, reachable only by quad. From this elevated spot you get spectacular views of the Dubrovnik coastline and nearby islands — it's the main photo stop on the route.

Does the route go through any villages?

Yes. You pass through Orašac, Gromača and Ljubač, small rural settlements surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills. Your guide shares stories about the local area as you ride through.

What's included in the price?

The quad bike, helmet, bottled water, pickup and return transfer from your Dubrovnik hotel, and a guide are all included. Meals and gratuities are not.

How long is the whole experience?

The activity is listed as 2 hours total, which includes the quad introduction, the 33 km ride itself (roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes of riding), and the return transfer to your hotel.

What is the Via Franciscana?

The Via Franciscana, also called the Napoleon Road, was built between 1810 and 1811 as an early 19th-century engineering project. Though never fully completed, it still shows all stages of its construction and offers stunning panoramic views of the coastline and islands from the route.
