We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon with Bethsy. Bethsy is such a cheerful person; she adapted to our pace and answered all our questions thoroughly. Thank you again for these precious memories!

The tour is well organized... just as described in the tour offer. Anna was attentive and funny, and she made the long wait at the border more enjoyable. It was clear she was well-prepared with information and had thought of all the little details... I really liked the delta on the way to Kravica, a park with some impressive waterfalls; it’s very pleasant to walk around there. Mostar has recovered quite well since the war. Beyond the main tourist route, there are charming places you have time to visit. Potcijel is a charming little village. I’m not giving 5 stars because we didn’t have much time to visit it (due to border issues). The return trip was delayed by the border. Some people might have missed their flights, but both Anna and the driver tried to find alternatives for them (they arranged a taxi to pick them up at a spot in Dubrovnik so they’d be closer to the airport). Would I do it again in the future? Definitely—I was left wanting more, but of course, it’s impossible to see everything in such a short time.

Mia was an excellent and entertaining guide. Plitvice is a beautiful place. Take your time, a whole day is recommended. Two things: if you cannot climb multiple sets of stairs it will be difficult for you to see the whole park and bring your own food and drink.

If you’ve seen photographs of Krka National Park in Croatia, with its vast skies, cascading waterfalls, and water in every shade of blue and green imaginable, know that they’re not exaggerated. Krka is like a slice of untouched paradise, covering 109 square kilometers of raw natural beauty. Set along the Krka River in the central Dalmatia region, the park is home to diverse plants and wildlife, medieval monasteries and ruins, and scenic landscapes. Whether you explore its hiking trails, go on a boat tour, bike through its forests, or simply soak in the serenity, it is a must-see in Croatia.

Hiking through unspoilt natural beauty

One of the best ways to explore the national park is on foot. You don’t have to be a seasoned hiker to get around the park; its well-marked trails are designed for all fitness levels, including casual walkers. They wind through some of the park’s most verdant forests and beautiful landscapes.

Scenic boat tours through Krka River

A boat journey is a great way to experience the park’s natural beauty. Every bend of the Krka River brings a new panoramic vista. Additionally, many of the park’s attractions are better accessible by boat.

Swimming in designated areas of Krka National Park

Unlike many other national parks, you are allowed to swim in designated areas of Krka National Park during certain months. Taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters near the waterfalls is an unforgettable experience.

Things to know before booking Krka National Park tickets

  • Opt for round-trip, air-conditioned transfers for a stress-free, seamless journey from cities like Split, Trogir, and Zadar to Krka on a day tour.
  • Entry to Krka National Park typically costs around per adult. You can opt for a Krka National Park ticket that includes the entrance fee, or choose to pay it separately in cash at the entrance.
  • Ticket prices vary by season, with higher fees during peak months (June through September). If you're visiting in July or August, arrive early or take a morning tour to avoid the midday crowds.
  • If you're self-driving, parking is available near all main entrances, and shuttle buses run between parking areas and entry points during busy periods.
  • Included with most full-day tours , the boat ride from Skradin to Skradinski Buk typically departs from either Skradin or Lozovac, offering a relaxing 25-minute journey through the park’s lush greenery. 
  • With multiple entry points like Skradin, which offers a boat ride to Skradinski Buk, and Lozovac, providing quicker foot access, you can choose the best option for your visit.
  • Enhance your Krka visit with optional add-ons like wine and olive oil tastings at local wineries, a visit to the charming Ethno Village, and more, offering a deeper dive into Croatia’s culture and flavors alongside the park’s natural beauty.
  • If you're self-driving, parking is available near all main entrances, and shuttle buses run between parking areas and entry points during busy periods. Alternatively, you can book round-trip transfer tickets for a more convenient and stress-free journey to the park.
  • The Skradinski Buk viewing boardwalk is wheelchair accessible, offering stunning views of the waterfalls and the surrounding landscape. But please note that some other trails may be challenging due to uneven surfaces.
  • The park is family-friendly and suitable for all ages, offering plenty of shaded spots, picnic areas, and easy trails that are perfect for strollers or children.

Guidelines and tips

  • Young woman with a backpack and hat standing near a waterfall in a comfortable dress, exploring nature.
  • Try to arrive early in peak spring (March to May) to beat the crowds and catch the waterfalls in soft, golden morning light, perfect for photos.
  • Pick up souvenirs, honey, lavender products, and other authentic Croatian specialties from local vendors near the entrances.
  • Use the Lozovac entrance if you want easier parking and quicker access to Skradinski Buk, or go via Skradin for a scenic boat ride into the park.
  • Card payments are widely accepted, but it's still a good idea to carry some cash for the entry fee, small vendors, and rural stores.
  • Download an offline map of the park ahead of time; cell service can be spotty in certain areas.
  • Bring water shoes if you plan to walk in or near the riverbeds; the rocks can be sharp and slippery.
  • If you're into birdwatching or photography, bring binoculars or a zoom lens. Krka is home to many bird species and offers great wildlife shots.
  • Don’t rush through the park. Some of the best spots (like Roški Slap or the Krka Monastery) are less crowded and worth the extra time if you have a full day.
