From there it’s off to the “Golden Flower of Europe award” an award-winning Ethno village to learn about the history of Skradinski Buk. In addition, your guide will show you the rich diversity of the Flora, 1022 recorded species, and the endemic, rare and threatened fauna of Krka National Park.

12:00 – 14:00 Free time for lunch (optional) and exploring Krka Park

This is where you will get a rare opportunity to admire the crystal clear pools under the Skradinski Buk waterfall and explore its travertine formations. This is a magical experience and something you will always treasure long after you return home. Be sure to bring your camera along.

Take this time to grab some lunch from one of the many affordable restaurants in the National Park. In your free time, you may also want to explore the local area and walk one of the many trails through the National Park. The choice is yours.

14:30 – 15:00 Departure from Krka National Park to Skradin by boat

There is nothing quite like meandering down a quiet river taking in the picturesque surrounds of the Krka National Park. Here you will get the chance to do so. The beauty of the Krka River is best seen from a boat with uninterrupted views. Along the way keep any eye out for the local swans, beautiful scenery, all set in a pristine natural environment. It’s the perfect time to sit back and reflect on your incredible day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you still swim at Krka waterfalls?

No, swimming inside Krka National Park is no longer allowed as of January 2021 to protect the ecosystem. However, our tour includes a scenic boat ride to Skradin town, where you will have 1.5 hours of free time to swim at the beautiful local beach.

How far is Split from Krka falls?

Krka National Park is about a 90-minute drive from Split. Our 29,00€ guided tour takes the fast highway route instead of the congested coastal road, ensuring a comfortable, air-conditioned journey so you have more time to explore the stunning Skradinski Buk waterfalls.

Do you have to pay to go to Krka waterfalls?

Yes, a national park entrance fee is required and is not included in our base tour price. You will need to bring extra cash (16€–30€) on the day of departure, and we will provide you with discounted group tickets so you can easily skip the lines.

How long do you need at Krka waterfalls?

You need around 3 to 4 hours to fully experience the park's trails, viewpoints, and the ethno village. Our complete 7.5-hour day trip provides ample free time at the falls, plus an extra hour and a half in Skradin for swimming and relaxing.

Which is better, Plitvice or Krka?

Both are stunning, but Krka is closer to Split (a 1-hour drive versus 3 hours to Plitvice) and offers a relaxing boat ride to Skradin where you can swim. Krka is perfect for a shorter, 7.5-hour day trip without spending too much time traveling.

Do you need to book Krka in advance?

Yes, booking your Krka waterfalls tour in advance is highly recommended, especially during the summer months when spots sell out quickly. We offer a 24-hour free cancellation policy, so you can secure your seats early completely risk-free and guarantee your preferred departure date.
