Tour description
You know those Instagram photos you’re always envious of? The ones with carefree tourists enjoying near fairytale-like waterfalls in Croatia? That can be you, too.
Meet Krka National Park, one of Croatia’s essential locations and an item you must check off of your travel checklist.
Fortunately for you, we have a private tour that we believe will not only make your Krka experience unforgettable, but if you choose to plan it with us, it will be a breeze.
What you need to know about Krka National Park
But before you get to Krka, we’d like to relay some important items of information that’ll help you gear up for your trip. Welcome to Krka 101. Let’s begin.
Did you know that Krka National Park is the seventh of Croatia’s eight national parks, which was proclaimed as so in 1985? Located within Šibenik-Knin County, the park covers a total area of 109 square kilometers, featuring preserved ecosystems, unparalleled natural value, flora (1022 plant species to be exact), fauna, and of course, Croatia’s most popular waterfalls. But did you know that those famous waterfalls are a phenomenon that took millions of years to create?
Namely, the strong current of the river (which cuts through the park and runs 72.5 kilometres long to make it the 22nd longest in Croatia) slowly carved its way through the limestone hills and created a canyon 200 meters deep. Moss and algae then retained the limestone’s calcium carbonate, forming barriers and creating magical waterfalls that gracefully glitter throughout the canyon.
Krka National Park also has cultural and historical monuments, medieval fortresses, and working examples of flour and fulling mills, alongside displays of traditional costumes and agricultural implements.
And the best way to experience this natural wonder? By choosing our foolproof private tour from Split.

What to expect
Since Krka National Park is just over an hour away from Split (90 kilometers), it is one of the best day trips you could plan.
But how about we take the tour one step further and tell you that the UNESCO-protected town of Trogir is on the way the park and that you’ll get to stop there, too? A coastal gem of Croatia you shouldn’t miss, here’s to killing two birds with one stone!
The tour will begin once we set off from Split in our luxury, air-conditioned minibus, which is also equipped with WiFi. After approximately 30 minutes of driving, we’ll hit Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage site and museum town. Here, you’ll get to wander around its medieval walls, let your curious eyes guide you to the Kamerlengo fortress, and roam around buildings dating back to the 13th and 15th centuries – like the famous Cathedral or the Duke’s Palace. One thing is for sure – this ancient town will fascinate you, and you’ll be happy we stopped in Trogir.
After you’ve made your mark on the palm-tree-lined waterfront promenade and wiggled your way through its narrow alleyways, you’ll say goodbye to Trogir and charge north to Skradin where we will enter Krka National Park.
The tour begins with a scenic boat ride which will drop you off at the motherland – the Skradinski Buk waterfall.
From here, you’ll embark on a one-hour guided sightseeing tour of the park, followed by two hours of free time to explore the park on your own where you can explore, eat, or choose to chill. With a heart full and a mind stimulated, we’ll get you back to Split just in time for dinner.
What to see inside Krka National Park?
If you ask us, there is plenty to see inside Krka National Park, but as time is limited and you’re trying to pack the most into your holiday, there are some attractions that must make the cut. Like the Skradinski Buk waterfall, which you’ll encounter right after we disembark from our boat ride from Skradin. This absolutely compelling waterfall, which is the largest travertine cascade system in Europe, is no stranger to social media feeds and has secured its place on the pages of travel magazines.
During your hour-long tour with our expert guide, you will learn all about the park’s history. While following the park’s educational paths, you’ll uncover authentic remnants like stone houses and watermills that have transformed into souvenir shops and exhibition spaces.
After the tour, you’ll have time to explore the park by yourself. Whether you want to hike further into the park, or load up on souvenirs, the times is yours – do as you please.
CAN YOU SWIM AT KRKA NATIONAL PARK?
Unfortunately from January 2021, swimming inside the National Park Krka is strictly forbidden. Park authorities explained that climate change and the need to conserve resources and the richness of biodiversity within the National park are the reasons for the rule change.
What to bring to Krka National Park?
You’ll be doing quite a bit of walking on this tour, so making sure you wear a comfortable pair of shoes is necessary.
You’d be silly to forget your camera, considering you’ll find it challenging to stop snapping photos on this tour – but ensuring you have an extra charger or battery pack is equally as important.
You’ll want to stay hydrated on this tour, so a refillable water bottle is a key! And if you get hungry? Carrying snacks with you can’t hurt, though the park offers food stalls that sell everything from sandwiches and salads to hot dogs, ice cream, cold drinks, coffee and items off the grill. Just make sure you carry cash as most places aren’t credit card friendly.
And since you’ll be out in the sun? Load up on SPF and bring along your favorite hat and sunglasses – you won’t be sorry.
