Krka Waterfalls, Lake Cruise & Skradin Old Town
Discover cascading waterfalls, a scenic lake cruise, and the timeless charm of Skradin in one full day.
This guided day tour takes you from Split into the heart of Krka National Park, where layered waterfalls, wooden boardwalks, and a tranquil lake cruise combine with a free-roaming visit to the medieval town of Skradin.
Krka National Park is one of Croatia's most celebrated natural reserves, defined by a series of travertine waterfalls shaped over thousands of years by the Krka River. The park's well-maintained pathway system guides visitors through dense vegetation, across wooden bridges, and along riverside terraces that offer consistent viewpoints over the cascades.
After exploring the park on foot, a short boat ride across Lake Skradin delivers you to the old town of Skradin, a compact settlement with Venetian-era architecture, waterfront promenades, and a selection of local restaurants. The town moves at a relaxed pace, making it a fitting contrast to the active portion of the day.
The tour departs and returns from Split's Port Gate, keeping logistics straightforward for travelers staying in the city center or arriving by cruise ship.
