About this experience

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a day and embark on a trip to Krka National Park – because let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a little nature therapy?

Wander along wooden paths, listen to the soothing sound of waterfalls, and take in the stunning scenery. It’s the kind of experience that will make you want to stop and take a picture (or five) every few steps.

You’ll also have the chance to explore the charming little village of Skradin. It’s the kind of place most people zoom past on their way to Krka, but once you set foot here, you’ll find yourself falling head over heels. We bet you’ll vow to come back and stay a little longer next time.

And for those who love to indulge, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious traditional Dalmatian lunch. Think fresh local ingredients and mouth-watering flavors.

On your way back, we’ll make a stop at the historic Klis Fortress. Perched high above Split, this medieval gem offers incredible views and a chance to step back in time.
