E-Tuk Tour in Mljet National Park: A 90-Minute Electric Drive Through Lakes, Roman Ruins, and Island History
Ride an electric tuk-tuk around Mljet National Park for a compact, scenic overview of the island: salt lakes, Roman ruins and a ferry hop to the monastery on St. Mary island. Perfect for travelers short on time who want the park’s highlights with low exertion.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time your ferry stop
Check the local boat schedule before you disembark to visit St. Mary island — return boats run on fixed timetables and missing one can delay your trip.
Sun and wind protection
The route exposes you to direct sun and occasional lake breezes — bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light wind layer.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect short stretches of uneven cobbles and natural trails at ruins and viewpoints — closed-toe shoes are recommended.
Charge and carry water
E-tuks are quiet and efficient but stops are short; carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated between breaks.

Mljet is a protected national park—stay on marked paths, avoid disturbing nesting birds, and take all waste off the island to minimize visitor impact.
Mljet’s Great Lake hosts a small Benedictine monastery on Sveta Marija island and the island bears Roman-era remains near Polače, reflecting centuries of Mediterranean occupation.
