Dubrovnik → Mljet
Private helicopter transfer Dubrovnik to Mljet — 16-minute flight time, charter cost from €1,800, same-day and next-day availability with independent operators.
*Indicative whole-aircraft price, not per seat. Flight time excludes ground handling. Both are confirmed by the independent operator when it quotes your date.
About this route
Mljet is the greenest island in southern Dalmatia and one of the slowest to reach. The ferry from Dubrovnik lands at Sobra, roughly two hours including the port turnaround, and the national park at the western end is a further 45-minute drive along a single island road. The helicopter sector is about 16 minutes, straight down the Elaphiti chain to the north coast.
An Airbus H125 handles the leg comfortably. Departures are from Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) general aviation or a surveyed Riviera pad; arrivals are a surveyed site on the island near Pomena or Polače, or a certified yacht deck anchored in the bays.
Both ends are domestic Croatian, so there are no border formalities. The planning work is the landing site: Mljet is a protected national park at its western end, so the touchdown point is agreed with the operator and local authority before we price the flight.
