Simon und Goran waren die Besten. Witzig, hilfsbereit und sehr informativ. Ein perfekter Ausflug den wir gerne jederzeit wiederholen werden. Der KRKA Nationalpark ist wunderschön. Etwas mehr Zeit dort wäre perfekt um alles in Ruhe sehen zu können. Alles in allem aber 10/10.

L'excursion était parfaite et tout simplement magnifique! Dès l'autobus, notre guide a commencé à nous donner des détails à nous raconter l'histoire de la ville et du parc! Elle était parfaite super à l'écoute et disponible pour toute éventuelle question!

We had the loveliest time with the hilarious Simon. He was a great guide-very knowledgable. It's all very organised with a WhatsApp group where he put in the places to meet and times so it was all very clear. The waterfalls are fantastic. Don't book your entrance tickets online like we did as it works out more expensive, buy they on the coach!

A visit to Krka National Park is a must if you're in Split or the surrounding area. This tour is quite well organized, with a bus ride that's definitely better than renting a car to get there. The guide doesn't speak French, but it's really not hard to understand him. He's friendly and goes on and on, but that's his job. The whole thing is definitely very expensive (too much?), but we would have regretted not going!

Venture into the heart of Croatia's natural treasure, Krka National Park, on a full-day guided tour brimming with stunning waterfalls, lush greenery, and diverse wildlife.

The tour includes a comfortable air-conditioned transfer, amidst the park's landscapes, where you will see the Jaruga hydroelectric power plant below the Skradinski Buk.

This isn't just a walking tour but an experience where you get to hop on a half-hour boat ride to the nearby harbor of Skradin.

Bring out your swimwear to dip into the crystal-clear waters, specifically the side where the seawater meets the river. It is quite a unique experience!

Upgrade your tour with an option that includes an entrance fee to Krka National Park.

The park was beautiful but we prepaid 30 euro each for entry and other passengers were asked to pay 16 euro. We were grouped with people who were doing the wine tour therefore we were dumped in Skradin for two and a half hours. Very disappointed that we overpaid park entry and not have value for money.
