Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day sequence: private pick-up in Split, Krka National Park visit (including a short boat ride and time at the falls), a stop in Skradin, short walking visit of Šibenik, then return.
Private pick-up in Split and transfer to Krka National Park
Driver will pick you up at your confirmed Split pick-up location and transfer by private, air-conditioned vehicle toward Krka National Park (Lozovac entrance).
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm and provide an exact pick-up address in Split when booking so the driver can meet you on time.
- Keep your mobile phone turned on and reachable in case the driver needs to contact you.
- Bring a small daypack with documents, a light jacket, and any park tickets you purchased in advance.
Visit Krka National Park (waterfalls & short boat ride)
Explore Krka National Park: enjoy viewpoints, walkways and a short boat segment as part of the park visit. Tickets to Krka National Park are not included and should be purchased at the park entrance or online prior to arrival.
Tips from local experts:
- Park tickets are not included — buy them at the park entrance or online before arrival to avoid queues.
- Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes for wooden walkways and bring a light waterproof layer; spray from the falls can be noticeable.
- If you plan to swim, check current park regulations at the visitor centre—swimming areas and rules change seasonally.
Transfer from Krka to Skradin
Short drive downriver toward the picturesque town of Skradin; this is one of the entrance/exit points for the park and a good place for local specialties.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep any small purchases from Krka secured in your bag for the short transfer.
- If you plan to sample local wines or charcuterie in Skradin, discreetly store purchases in a cooler bag if needed.
- Allow a few extra minutes for boarding or disembarking if the group includes people moving slowly.
Skradin visit (waterfront & local food specialties)
Short visit to Skradin to enjoy the waterfront, a quick walk through the town and an opportunity to sample local products such as prosciutto, cheeses and olive oil.
Tips from local experts:
- Skradin is compact—wear comfortable shoes and allow time to stroll the waterfront and main pedestrian streets.
- If you want to taste local wines or food, mention any dietary restrictions to the restaurant staff; many places are accustomed to visitors.
- Keep time in mind to ensure the group returns to the vehicle promptly for the onward transfer to Šibenik.
Transfer from Skradin to Šibenik
Scenic short transfer along the coast to Šibenik, arriving to its bay framed by fortresses.
Tips from local experts:
- Have your camera ready for coastal views on the short drive into Šibenik.
- There are short stair sections in parts of the old town—if mobility is a concern, notify the driver to arrange a more level meeting point.
- Carry any small purchases separately as you’ll be walking through stone streets in Šibenik.
Šibenik walking visit (old town, fortresses and cathedral area)
Walk through Šibenik's historic center, see the bay setting and visit the main historic highlights. Time-limited visit focused on the UNESCO-area heart and viewpoints.
Tips from local experts:
- The UNESCO area has narrow stone streets—carry sun protection in summer and be cautious on uneven surfaces.
- If you want to see the Cathedral of St. James up close, allow time in this block; check opening hours locally as they vary by season.
- Plan a quick coffee or drink in the old town if you want a short romantic pause during the walk; request a quieter table if available.
Return transfer and drop-off to Split (end of tour)
Private transfer back to your confirmed Split drop-off address or agreed meeting point. The driver will confirm the drop-off during the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- Ensure you have all personal belongings before boarding for the return transfer.
- If you need a different drop-off address than pick-up, notify the operator in advance so it can be confirmed.
- Keep your phone on during the return in case the driver needs to coordinate the drop-off spot.
