Split: Krka Waterfalls Trip with Boat Cruise and Swimming

1.Krka Waterfalls Trip with Boat Cruise and Swimming

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

2.Blue Cave Small-Group Boat Tour from Dubrovnik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9,360 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Review of Dubrovnik’s Blue Cave boat tour, with swimming, snorkeling, Sunj Beach, three caves, drinks, pricing, and practical tips.

“The boat tour with Dino was amazing, he was funny and very personable. The drinks were great and the caves were cool! The only reason we’re giving the review 4 stars is because they wouldn’t drop us off back at our hotel, the driver dropped us off on top of a hill and we had to walk all the way down to our hotel. If this is always the case I would suggest booking without the van pick up and just Bolt to and from the marina”

Started the morning off with some traditional shots & made our way through the beautiful islands. The open bar (white wine & local liquor) was just enough to keep the party going & the lunch was more than enough food! We had an amazing time & will recommend to all my friends & family visiting Dubrovnik!”

Review of Split’s Blue Cave, Mamma Mia, Hvar and five-island speedboat tour, with route details, costs, comfort tips and honest advice.

“Amazing day out on the water exploring a few different islands in Croatia! Note that this is a speedboat tour, and you do go FAST! Our group enjoyed it, but if you’re looking for a relaxed sailing experience, it’s not this. You have time to explore the islands of Vis, the Blue Lagoon and Hvar. We were able to get in to the Blue Cave as well which was a treat. Gina and Jakob were amazing guides!”

We felt that we had the perfect amount of time to explore each island. The views while sailing were gorgeous! We would highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,517 reviews · 8 hours · from $50

Cruise from Dubrovnik to Lopud, Šipan, and Koločep with drinks, optional lunch, swimming time, and a friendly five-person crew.

“Excellent value for money. 3 hours on Lopud was the highlight of the trip as it is stunning, the other two were quick stops with not a lot to do in the time given. Soft drinks were included in the cost and timings were prompt. Excellent day out.”

From Split: Krka Waterfalls Tour, Boat Cruise & Swimming

9.Krka Waterfalls Tour, Boat Cruise & Swimming

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

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,195 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $130

Review of Split’s Blue Cave and six-island speedboat tour, with itinerary, costs, comfort tips, sea conditions, and booking advice.

“Ok so I’m gonna start with the worst first as it’s the most important. Blue cave was closed, ok no biggie, at least refund that ticket but the problem was this, instead we go to this submarine cave and I thought ok cool but instead of pulling up to the dock they pull to the side and make us crawl up this 4ft ledge. I had to use my legs/knees to do that and scrapped and bruised them all up. Like why would you risk injuries to your passengers? I even said, I can’t do that. “Oh yes you can I’ll help you” totally wrong. I got pictures of how…”

Review of Split’s Blue Lagoon speedboat tour, with Trogir, Šolta, snorkeling, costs, comfort tips, and advice on who should book.

“The tour guide and boat skipper were charming and informative and made the trip seamless. They played great music for everyone to enjoy. The tour company was excellent at reaching out and responding to queries throughout. About the trip itself we would have preferred to have the opportunity to jump in the blue lagoon from the boat but I guess being a speed boat it needed to take us to the pier so that we could access the beach per se. The beach area is quite limited and crowded, unless you go on a boat that can dock on a cove where you can jump from the boat and access…”

15.Blue cave, Mama Mia and Hvar, 5 island speedboat tour from Trogir

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,861 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $111

Review of Trogir’s 5-island speedboat tour to the Blue Cave, Komiža, Hvar, Stiniva Cove, and Mamma Mia beach.

“If you are under 25 and into techno music at loud volumes and white knuckle wave runner rides across other boats’ wake, this is the trip for you. However, if you look for a calm cruise to enjoy the sea and coast you should book something else. Moreover it is advertised as a speedboat trip. An inflatable boat is not a speedboat. But a large inflatable boat can ride smooth and pleasant - if captain makes an effort to navigate calmly. Yesterday was the opposite, with loud music and “fun” i.e. dangerous manouvering. This is not advertised on the website. I am tempted to report dangerous navigation to port authorities.…”
