I truly recommend to drive up to the top.
It is worth additional time and effort.
I’ve read a lot how demanding this road can be… to be honest I found it quite soft. You can see the road on one of my photos. The most challenging part might probably be driving backwards on this narrow road when two cars must pass each other.
Tickets can be purchased via web page.

The view is amazing but I recommend to visit this place on the last tour and wait until all people finish taking pictures if you want to fully enjoy this place

Had I known how narrow and dangerous the road up to skywalk was I would have not gone but I’m pleased I didn’t know because the view is spectacular and sense of achievement beats the downsides.

Awesome!

Don't be put off by some of the reviews about the road... yes, its hair raising but as long as you're a confident driver and CAN reverse then you'll be fine! We did it in a Fiat Ducato Van without any problems.

Get there EARLY. Of you're not there at 5.30am (when there will already be a queue) then you'll be waiting 2-4 hours to get up, and you'll face all the early traffic on the road coming back.

Absolute must-do if you are in the area.

Amazing
It is sometimes referred to as Bijakova, especially among inhabitants of the eastern side of the mountain. Its highest peak is Sveti Jure (Saint George), at 1762 m.a.s.l.[1] It shows a typical karstlandscape. Atop the peak there is a powerful FM and DVB-T transmitter.
The 196 km2 of its area is protected as a nature parkwith over 1,500 plant and animal species, some of which are endemic.[2]
Biokovo is one in a line of Dinaric Alps stretching along the Dalmatian coast - northwest of it is Mosorand southeast are Sutvid and Rilić. To the east, the Šibenik runs in parallel. When the weather is very clear, from the top of Biokovo it is possible to see Monte Gargano in Italy, which is 252 km (157 mi) away.[3]
Zabiokovlje, a mountainous area in Biokovo, includes such townlets and villages as Gornja Brela, Zadvarje, Žeževica, Grabovac, Rastovac, Zagvozd, Župa, Rašćane and Kozica. Major economic activities there were cattle raising, grape growing, and hunting. Part of this area is in the Biokovo Nature Park. To aid hikers, the Biokovo Nature Park Visitor Center is in downtown Makarska.
However, Biokovo can be perilous if hiking unprepared - tourists erroneously imagine peaks to be closer than they are and, oblivious to the danger, have been known to go hiking wearing flip-flops, without water, wearing shirts with military camouflage patterns making them harder to spot for search and rescue teams. From 1976-2007, 24 hikers have died on Biokovo, while 37 had to be rescued.[4]

Biokovo Nature Park is a unique area of the coastal Dinaric Alps in Croatia. The view to the sea is marvelous from all the altitudes. From the highest peak of St. Jure (Juraj, George), you can see the Italian coastline and the mountain peaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the central landline of the Dinaric Alps.
