Private Electric Rickshaw Tour Split: Marjan Forest Park Access
The only tour that enters Marjan's protected Green Zone where cars cannot go.
A private electric rickshaw tour of Split takes you through the city center and into Marjan Forest Park, a protected car-free zone closed to all vehicles except this tour. Your local guide drives while you sit back and see three times more of Split than a walking tour covers, with photo stops at Diocletian's Palace, the Riva promenade, and Bene Beach, plus a complimentary drink at a seaside café. The tour runs 30 minutes to 2.5 hours depending on the option you choose.

The experience
You ride in a private electric rickshaw. Just your group, your guide, and the breeze. The vehicle glides silently through Split's old town, past the Riva's palm-lined seafront and the neoclassical arches of Prokurative Square, then around the 4th-century gates of Diocletian's Palace without the crowds that pack the ground-level streets. The rickshaw's open sides let you photograph the Golden Gate, the Silver Gate, and the Gregory of Nin statue as you pass. Your guide points out the details that matter and stops when you want to linger.
The real separation is Marjan Forest Park. This 178-hectare protected zone is closed to cars, taxis, and buses, but the tour has exclusive permits to enter. You ride through pine forests and Mediterranean shrubs to Bene Beach, where the water is shallow and clear, and to the Meštrović Gallery, a villa built by one of Croatia's most renowned sculptors, set among gardens with views back across the Adriatic. At Va Bene Café, tucked inside the forest by the sea, you get a complimentary cold drink and time to sit while the noise of the city stays outside the Green Zone.
The three options let you choose your pace. The 30-minute tour covers the city center and Diocletian's Palace. The 60-minute version adds the western harbor and Zvončac Park. The full 2.5-hour tour includes Marjan Forest Park, both beaches, the Meštrović Gallery, and Sustipan's panoramic viewpoint. Pickup is included, and the tour is cruise-port ready if you're arriving by ship. The rickshaw holds a maximum of two adults and one child, so it stays intimate: your group only, no strangers added to the vehicle.
Is this one for you?Book the 30-minute option if you're docked at the cruise port and want to see Diocletian's Palace and the city center without leaving the ship for long. Choose the 60-minute tour for a fuller picture of Split's harbor and parks. The full 2.5-hour tour is worth it if you want to spend time in Marjan Forest Park itself: the only place on the tour where you step out of the rickshaw and sit by the water with a drink, away from the crowds.
