Private transfer from Zadar to Paklenica National Park

The shortest run to Paklenica we drive — up the coast from Zadar to Starigrad in well under an hour. Hikers heading for the Manita peć cave or the long trail towards Vaganski vrh usually take an early pick-up and book the driver to wait.
Zadar is a historic peninsula city famous for its Roman forum, the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun installations on its waterfront.
Paklenica National Park on the southern slopes of Velebit is Croatia's best-known climbing and hiking destination, centred on the dramatic Velika and Mala Paklenica canyons.
The drive covers roughly 45 km and takes ~40 min in normal traffic. Your driver picks you up at the address you choose — accommodation, port, bus station — and drops you off exactly where you need to be.
For day trips we recommend the return option with waiting included (200 € total): your driver waits at the park while you explore and takes you back whenever you are ready — no schedules, no rush.
