About this experience

Embrace the intact beauty of the perfect oasis in the middle of Dalmatia. Our merry group will set off from Split in an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi. The ride is 1h 30mins but you'll wish it was longer as we'll use this time to tell the tales of our audacious history.

After skipping the line, you'll be overwhelmed by the impossible green and the crystal clear blue scenery. We'll walk through the charming wooden pathways along Krka river to the most magnificent of all waterfalls - Skradinski buk.

This is were the power banks and memory cards for your devices will prove their moneys' worth as you'll never be able to stop taking photos.

After guiding you through the park we'll take a short bus ride to the picturesque town of Skradin on the other side of Krka. Swimming inside the park is prohibited since it would disrupt the harmony of the ecosystem but worry not. We'll be making up for the missed swim in the river Krka on the beach where the river pours into the sea.
