★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10,519 reviews · 9 hours · from $31Our pick

Review of Split’s Krka Waterfalls and Primošten tour, with boat cruise, guided park visit, swimming time, costs, tips, and honest advice.

“Kraka was a very beautiful place with many nice photo opportunities. The waterfalls were spectacular & the area is kept very clean with free use of the toilets and a water fountain to top up your bottles. you are given a map before you enter,but it's not needed as the sign posts are easy to follow. Next we went to a quaint little village which was also very scenic & had a nice beach area. The promenade is lined with many restaurants & shops to pick up those souvenirs. Our tour guide was very informative & was extremely funny & kept everyone entertained. I highly recommend this trip as it…”

2.Krka Waterfalls Tour, Boat Cruise & Swimming

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,489 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $32Top rated

Review of the Krka waterfalls tour from Split, with a boat ride, swimming in Skradin, practical tips, costs, timing, and honest advice.

“Great transport, takes about an hour to get to the park from Split, so plan your bathroom stops accordingly. Then we spent about 2 hours in the park/boardwalk which is plenty of time since the loop takes 30 minutes to walk, leaving lots of time to look around as you do the boardwalk. After we took the boat to Skradin, which was nice. The town of Skradin is rather small( we had about 2h30 in the town free) but our guide suggested the risotto Skradin and their local desert which were both excellent at the restaurant we tried. Overall nice experience.”
