Day trip to Krka Waterfalls from Split or Trogir

Travel to Krka National Park, where you can hike between turquoise, cascading waterfalls on a network of wooden boardwalks. Along the way, admire views of Croatia's coastal towns and make a stop in Sibenik to visit the UNESCO-listed St. Jacob's Cathedral.

Begin your full-day adventure by driving between the Dalmatian coast and the hinterland—Croatia's narrow inland region—and admire views of the historic coastal towns of Trogir and Split, along with a feast of natural landscapes. Stop in Sibenik to visit the UNESCO-listed St. James Cathedral, a monument to Renaissance architecture. As the drive continues, spot views of the coast and off-shore islands as your guide describes the local history.

Arrive at Krka National Park, a playground of cascading waterfalls—a scene practically stolen from paradise. Walk along the wooden boardwalks as you admire the scenery, listen for the enchanting songs of rare birds, and watch centuries-old water mills still churning as if frozen in time.

Arrive at the magnificent Skradinski buk, the park's largest waterfall, considered by some to be the most beautiful waterfall in Europe. Enjoy free time to swim beneath the smaller falls and eat your lunch.
