Day trip from Split to Krka National Park

Many travel agencies are offering organized day trips from Split to Krka National Park; these tours typically last 8 to 10 hours. Some tours only include transportation to and from Krka, whereas others offer additional features like wine tasting or lunch.

What is important to know before booking a day trip to Krka?

• Entrance tickets to Krka are in most cases not included in the day trip price. (The entrance ticket alone costs up to 40 Euro)
• Swimming is not allowed at Skradinski Buk (Below the waterfalls) so when tours mention swimming, it is not inside the national park.
• Some agencies advertise, a boat trip or boat cruise as being part of their packages, but the boat ride from Skradin to Skradinski Buk is actually provided by the national park, for all guests.
• Pick up point in Split for the day trips, vary from agency to agency, so pay attention to this.
• Some agencies offer a discount on the National Park Entrance Tickets, which is a saving to consider.

Driving to Krka National Park From Split

If you have a car at your disposal, you can easily drive to Krka from Split, the driving distance  Is 83 Km to the Lozovac entrance and 87 km to the Skradin entrance.

Here are some of my tips that might be helpful.

• Regardless of which entrance you choose, you will see the same area of the park.
• The entrance in Skradin includes a 20-minute boat ride to Skradinski Buk, which means your visit to Krka will be longer if you choose this entrance (Note: The boat departs every hour during the summer season).
• Parking is free at the Lozovac entrance but not at the Skradin entrance.
• If you are traveling with smaller children, you can cut the trip in half by walking from Lozovac to Skradinski Buk (or the opposite direction) and then taking the free park bus back to where you entered the park.
• Skradinski Buk is the lower part of the national park. When traveling by car, I would also recommend visiting the middle and upper parts, including Visovac Island, Roški Slap Waterfalls, Krka Monastery, and the Burnum Amphitheatre. All these places can be visited without any additional entrance fee, except for Visovac Island, where you will have to pay for the boat transfer
