The Krka waterfalls day tour from Split is the most popular land trip in central Dalmatia. After just over an hour’s drive we reach Krka National Park, where the river forms a chain of lakes and cascades over natural travertine barriers.
What you do
- Walk the wooden boardwalks around Skradinski Buk, the park’s largest waterfall.
- Hear your guide explain the plants, wildlife and old watermills.
- Enjoy free time in the riverside town of Skradin for lunch or a swim at the town beach.
- Return to Split in the mid-afternoon.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants to mix sea days with an easy nature outing. The trail is flat and suitable for children. Please note that swimming at the waterfalls is not allowed, to protect the park.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes, water, a hat, swimwear for Skradin and cash for the park entrance, which is paid separately (around €16 in spring and autumn and €30 from June to September for adults).
Best time
April to October. In spring the falls carry the most water; in summer an early start helps you avoid the heat and the queues.
Included
- Air-conditioned transport from Split
