Do you happen to know how long it takes to get from Dubrovnik to Hvar via ferry? Do I have to dock off at Sorcula on the otherside and drive to Hvar? Some sites show about 8-9 hrs other 4 hrs. I dont want to spend 2 days traveling back and forth between Dubrovnik and Hvar because we leave for Vienna from Dubrovnik so I have to go back there. We are keeping Split out of the mix unless time wise it makes more sense to travel from Dubrovnik to Split then to Hvar. But regardless, from Hvar, we have to head back to Dubrovnik

Links where to purchase tickets would be aporeciated. Not sure which site is best since tgere are fast and slow ferries

Have you checked rome2rio.com, and then clicked through to all the supporting web-sites? once you do, be sure you pay attention to times -- many ferry schedules change at particular times of year.

FWIW, I'd take the bus from Split -- but I think I said so on a previous thread?

we want to avoid Split. We simply want to Travel between Dubrovnik and Hvar since we decided to add Vienna to our trip, so we are cutting our time in Croatia

Your trip, your call -- but IME, its always helpful to actually specify your plans when asking for help.

BTW, Split is my favorite city in Croatia, but it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I trust you are confident in your choice to skip it?

Use the Drvenik - Sucuraj car ferry if you travel by car: 9-11 departures daily

If you travel without car, take one of the Dubrovnik - Hvar catamarans (3 1/2 hrs journey)
