Experiencing Krka National Park

Once you arrive at Krka, you’ll quickly see why it’s a highlight. The park is famous for its waterfalls, with Skradiski Buk being a standout feature. We loved the opportunity to relax under the travertine barrier, just like the reviewers who mentioned the stunning waterfalls that are worth the visit. The well-marked trails inside the park make it easy to navigate, which is perfect if you’re keen on some light to moderate walking.

The highlight for many is the 3-hour stay in the park, which allows ample time to explore. The ethno village within Krka’s grounds adds a cultural twist, with traditional stone houses and old watermills showcasing Croatia’s rural legacy. The scenic boat ride here is often praised for its panoramic views of the canyon, giving you a new perspective on the park’s impressive scenery. One recent visitor described it as a “scenic boat ride through the Krka River canyon”, which is a perfect description to help you visualize what’s in store.

The reviews hint at the overall value of the experience: “Krka Waterfalls are really beautiful,” and many mention the wildlife and tranquility that make this park a peaceful retreat. Just keep in mind that entry to Krka is paid separately in cash, and this fee fluctuates depending on the season, so budget around €16-30.

Exploring Trogir: A Medieval Treasure

After Krka, the journey continues to Trogir, a town that seems frozen in time. Known for its medieval walls, bell towers, and ancient churches, Trogir offers a walk through history. The guided tour lasts about 75 minutes, which is enough to see key highlights and absorb the atmosphere.

We appreciated how the guide brought the town’s history to life, making the narrow streets and ancient buildings more than just photo spots. The reviews confirm this as well: “Trogir was a lovely little town and broke up the journey to the waterfalls,” and others noted the “medieval walls, castles, and centuries-old churches” that give Trogir its charm.

The town’s UNESCO status means its preservation is impressive, and wandering through the old town feels like stepping back in time. Many visitors also enjoy the opportunity to take photos of the picturesque harbor and enjoy some free time to explore or grab a quick snack.

The Scenic Boat Ride and Skradin

One of the most praised elements of this tour is the scenic boat ride through the Krka River canyon. Lasting around 30 minutes, it’s a refreshing moment after the walk through the park, offering stunning vistas that are often overlooked in photos but truly spectacular in person.

The final stop in Skradin is a highlight for those wanting a relaxed end to the day. It’s the perfect place to unwind, swim in the clear waters, or simply soak up the scenery. Reviewers mention the “drinks by the water where super yachts are moored” and the opportunity to swim, which many find to be a lovely way to cap off the day.

With about an hour here, you get time for a swim, a walk around, or just relaxing on the water’s edge. The free time at Skradin is appreciated, although some mention it could be longer—if you’re a swimmer or simply a fan of quiet waterside spots, you’ll love this.

The Logistics: What You Need to Know

Starting from Hotel Plaa in Omi, the tour kicks off early, with pickups around 6:30 am. The journey involves a total of about 4 hours of driving (split into several legs), but the well-organized stops and commentary from the guide make it feel more like a scenic journey than a lengthy bus ride. The tour lasts around 8 hours, so be prepared for a full day.

The inclusion of transportation, guide, and insurance makes the price of $47 quite reasonable, especially considering the amount of sightseeing packed into the day. Just remember, the entry fee for Krka isn’t included—be sure to have cash on hand (roughly €16-30 depending on the season).

The tour is conducted in English, and groups are typically sizable, but reviews confirm that guides like Mate excel at keeping everyone engaged and informed. A helpful tip is to bring comfortable shoes, sun protection, swimwear, snacks, and water—especially since some parts of the day involve walking and outdoor exposure.
