About
Host to a wide range of wildlife, this nature reserve along the lower Krka River is known for its pristine waterfalls. Hop on a 25-minute ferry ride from the entrance to reach the Skradinski buk waterfall—the park’s main attraction. You won’t get to swim at this waterfall, but you can join a boat tour to the Roski Slap falls afterward and have a refreshing dip in the crystal clear pools. Don’t miss the quiet hiking trails within the park too.
Krka National Park is about 55 miles from Split, making it a fantastic day trip when visiting southern Croatia. – Tripadvisor

- 2001NH632 contributionsMust doFantastic family trip. Went on 12/15 so it was fairly empty - which was the best! Plitvice was crazy packed in July when we went so coming to Krka in December was perfect. Gorgeous sites. We wish more than one. Souvenir store was open. There was no food inside the park just outside. Because of the recent rains the water was furious. All in all it was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend.Visited December 2022Traveled with familyWritten December 15, 2022
- John L223 contributionsExcellent Visit to Krka FallsWe had a chance to visit the famous Krka Falls National Park- WOW, it was beautiful!! We visited right after several rainstorms in this area and the f18 alls were really running rapid. There are actually several falls and you also get to see the world's second Hydro-Electric plant. It was very interesting and worthwhile. This was one of the highlights of our 18-day tour of Croatia.Visited November 2022Written January 20, 2023
- FortuneTaylors58 contributionsA nice location for an out of season visitWe visited out of season so the whole park was not open. We were able to follow the walking trail and see some of the waterfalls. Some of the souvenir shops were open as well. We really enjoyed our short time there however with it being out of season, food options were limited if you were going to spend a lot of time there. I also expect that in summer, the place can be manic. The boarded sections of the route are probably only a couple of people wide so it would probably end up very congested for most of the way round. As the place had limited access, low season tickets are only €6 whereas these are €40+ in season. With this in mind, I’d definitely be more inclined to come again out of season.Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 9, 2023
- KyrieLondon, United Kingdom56 contributionsStunning but frustratingStunningly beautiful scenery and waterfalls. It honestly is incredible and looks like something out of Lords of the Rings. However, the park layout is SUPER confusing. You arrive, buy a ticket, get the bus down to the first waterfall. After that, you're on your own. The maps and sign posts are super confusing. Nobody tells you half the attractions are hours of boat rides or an additional 30 minute drive away which you do in your own vehicle. You can also no longer swim anywhere. Overall amazing to see but a frustrating day.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 7, 2023
- Antonio PSplit, Croatia17 contributionsRoski Slap a day keeps the tourist trap awayAbsolutely recommend Roski Slap entrance, offers two great mini hikes, one towards the Walled Cavern, the other to a vantage point just after you enter the park. You can do a ton of walking around the hills, great scenery and much less crowded than Skradinski Buk. Avoid the tourist traps!Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 30, 2023
- Jacquie LBristol, United Kingdom16 contributionsBring a muzzle for your dog to go on the bus....footpath was closed so only option was bus from the car park.Our second visit here. Last time we were able to walk from the carpark down to the waterfalls. This time we had our dog with us but as we queued for our tickets, we were told the path was closed and we needed to take the dog on the bus. He also needed to be muzzled. This wasn't a problem but I did need to walk back to the campsite to get his muzzle so just posting this to prevent others from having a wasted trip. We saw one other couple turned away for the same reason.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten April 30, 2023
- Jeremias MTampere, Finland32 contributionsAwesome nature location.One of the most beautiful nature location we have visited. Not too many people and ofc very good weather. There were multiple really good observation places for the falls and we saw a lot of fish. This is a must thing if you are at the area. It was really easy by a pre booked tour in a small group. Our guide was excellent and everything seemed perfect. There was some lady with big group of kids visiting the park and they behaved like they owned the place. Skipping the entire boat line etc. Wanted to push the lady to the river but atleast i behaved like a humanbeing unlike her. Had an orange fan so beware of this human garbage. She even gave crutches to a boy as to give an excuse. Later we saw the same boy running around at Skradin just fine. There is a special place in hell for this lady :)Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 5, 2023
- Balkandave2014Troon, United Kingdom52 contributionsStunningStunning series of waterfalls within a National park. A shuttle bus takes you to the start of a walk around the smaller falls and then the main one at Stravanski buk. It’s not a short walk but not difficult unless you have mobility issues. There are refreshments at the base of the main falls about half way.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 6, 2023
- Sven BKoege, Denmark114 contributionsFantastic natureThis national park is absolutely amazing and wonderful. The vegetation, water falls and wild life, is beatiful and unique. We visited the place in May and as far we could understand, both the entrance fee and the number of visitors, is much lesser than during midsummer.Visited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 7, 2023
- SimonaKaunas, Lithuania1 contributionDon’t go after rainy daysVisited in on 18th May, after days of rain. Half of park was closed due to risen water level. We got no information at tickets office about closed parts, also didnt see any notifications online. It’s pity that we travelled such a long distance and didnt get to see the true beauty of the park. The only place we actually admired the view was Brljan waterwall but at this point no one checked our tickets so I assume it’s free entrance. Overall, communication of park authorities could be better. We would have not visited if knew that almost everything is closedVisited May 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 24, 2023

The waterfall Skradin Buk is very impressive and beautiful. But this doesn’t justify the price (200 kuna adults/120 kuna children/students). We arrived by boat from Skradin and it was no pleasure at all, way to many people. You couldn’t swim or sit down ... We wanted to go further and visit the Monterey on the island or Roški slap, but the woman at the reception told us we had to buy another ticket (100 kuna each to the monastery). Very disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend visiting the Krka National Park.

We are the 6th day in croatia and traveled along beautifull places, but this was far the worst.
First of all it is extremely crowded, no social distance respected what so ever
Everything here is comercial and expensive. Entrance fee is 200 kunas and it doesn't worth it. You only have a 2 way tocket included with a noisy , smelly, and again overcrowded ship.
Everithing is man made an feels too comercial. The single thing left natural is the waterfall it self, not very impressive and almost no way in the water . The ways in to the water ar muddy and ugly.
No places to put your baggs
I do not recomend for anybody specially if you have kids.
Never visiting again

Named after the Krka River, Krka National Park is one of eight national parks in Croatia. Its charm is almost magical, seemingly untouched and unspoilt by man. Whatever human interference exists is very minimal, a refreshing escape from the hustle of a city like Split. The park’s main appeal are its magnificent waterfalls and the opportunity to bathe in the water with them as your backdrop.
The only downside to the park is there is only one area where you’re permitted to swim yet a lot of visitors. It quickly became very overcrowded. Remember to bring your swimming costume with you, as well as your camera, plenty of sun cream, your camera, bottled water to combat the heat, and did I mention your camera?
Tickets are 150 KN / £18.50 (for Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep)

Visiting in August we were conscious of the many horror stories about how busy the park gets. I looked up the guided tours which all leave Split at around 8.00am returning by 5pm. So I summarised the park should be quieter by 4pm.
We purchased a whole park tickets on line which give you a full day entry via all entrances. We got up early and drove to the Roski Slap entrance to get there by 10.00 am. We had a leisurely morning walking the short trail and climb to the caves, all very nice and not too busy. We then had a picnic by the lake, laid in the sun and swam in the lake. It was lovely. Then about 3.30 we headed off to the Lozovac entrance for the main event. And Wow. It was relatively quiet and by 8.00pm when we left we pretty much had the place to ourselves. I cannot count how many times we said “wow” and “the colour!”. It was a magical and beautiful experience. One of the most wonderful days we have had as a family. I’m so glad for the reviews people leave which enabled us to navigate the park and the busy periods. I hope this review helps people plan and not to avoid this wonderful place.

There was a 2 step process in getting us to this beautiful waterfall. Initially we booked tickets for 2 people from GetYourGuide which is for the 1.5hr coach drive and a further 30mins boat ride to the park itself.
In addition, whether you're an adult or a student, you need the exact amount of money in cash to allow you access the Krka National Park, for adults the fee is €30/adult and €15/student but it's important that you have with you a form of I. D to prove you are a student before hopping on the boat and gaining access to the park.
Also depending your tour guides guidelines, Splitilicious who managed our tour insists that we arrive by boat and leave by bus, therefore it's important that you are not left behind with an expensive transportation back to where the journey originally started because you would have missed out on the other stop over places on your way back such as getting to taste some local restaurant at a village and swimming opportunity.
It is important to note that this particular Krka National Park prohibits people from swimming, so don't be disappointed thinking this would be possible.
In general, a great day out, lovely atmosphere and beautiful sight for a wonderful picture taking experience.

We went to Krka yesterday (Monday 10 August) about 1hr from where we are staying on the coast. We had a lovely morning and felt it was well worth the 20 kuna entrance price (about £25). Our plans meant the walkways were empty and there were just a handful of people swimming so it was very peaceful and relaxing. It was much busier by the time we left just before 11am. If you’d like to follow our steps this is what we did:
We parked at the Lozovac entrance and walked down the 850 meters to the wooden path. We then followed the path anti-clockwise at a leisurely pace to the Skardinski buk falls where you can swim. We got sandwiches and drinks at the fall vendors which were reasonably priced considering your eating in the park. After a while in the water we made out way up the steps to the bus stop and got the coach back to the car park.
We think the reason it was so quiet when we got to the falls is that we’d got there before the first boat from Skradin and maybe even before the buses down the hill from the Lovovac entrance. We brought water shows with us. A swim in the lake would have been ‘possible’ without them, but not easy. We wore flip flops rather than trainers and the walk down from the Lovovac entrance was manageable, but obviously would have been easier with more suitable footwear. The pathway down is quite rubbley so you do need to take care not to slip, but wouldn’t be a problem except for the elderly or anyone with mobility issues.
There are lockers by the food vendors if you want to keep your valuables safe, but we just took it in turns and plenty of people were just leaving their clothes/shoes in a pile on the shore. But the time we got back to the car park there were quest for the coaches down and I think it would have been a much less pleasant experience if we hadn’t earlier for opening. We also decided against visiting the other amazing-looking spots in the park, so just a short but worthwhile trip for us. Hope this helps you enjoy your trip.

There are two waterfalls to visit - about 25 mins drive apart. The Skradinski buk waterfall is beautiful but at the ticket office we were told we had to get a very expensive ticket to get a boat to the waterfall and get in to the area of the waterfall. We were told the other waterfall at Roski Slap was just as impressive and we were upsold a ticket to both for €40 having only wished to see the Skradinski waterfall. It turns out you can walk to Skradinski, no need to get an expensive boat/ ticket and no entrance fee once you're there. The waterfall at Roski Slap is not impressive and was massively over sold. There is also no entrance fee, so the ticket we were sold 'to both waterfalls including the boat to get to one' seems like a scam to me (considering you can walk to Skradinski, which we would much rather have done if this option was made clear to us when we asked at the ticket office how we get to the waterfall). The stairs up the mountain at Roski Slap were worth the journey for us - it is a relatively short ascend up a sequence of well built steps. There is a cave near the top with some information in to read but it is pitch black in there and we did not have a light. It was odd that there wasn't any lighting, or at least signage outside where it could be readable. We then aimed to find the waterfall but the signage is pretty non existent. This meant we were wondering around trying to find it, as were others. It was an anticlimax when we saw it. 'Swimming' in the waterfall was also upsold to us. There is a tiny marked swimming area by the restaurant, away from the waterfall. Maybe fun for children. I would absolutely advise against paying their extortionate fees (you'd think with this they could provide adequate signage to avoid people getting lost) and try to get there yourself. This will also mean you don't arrive to Skradinski with a boat load of people. We did, and tried to take some photos on the main bridge that overlooks the waterfall - as 100 people were trying to do the same, and when we arrived back after doing the walk around the waterfall there was almost no one in the bridge. If you arrive by boat, I advise getting away from the crowds and coming back to the bridge after walking around the waterfall.

Krka National Park is a definite must see. We parked at Lozovac (free parking) and paid 100 kuna entry (since it was off season). We walked a short distance (quite rocky and steep, so some people may want to take the bus provided) to Skradinski buk, where there were a number of waterfalls for us to see. We walked on wooden bridges to see these waterfalls and lakes - it was absolutely stunning! The walk itself took between 40mins to 1 hour, and it was peaceful and enjoyable. There weren't many other people around, so we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience at our own pace.
We then took a boat to Visovac island (cost: 100 kuna). The boat took around 40mins to reach the island and it was a beautiful trip. The island itself is tiny and you have 30mins to explore the monastery and museum. I didn't think visiting Visovac was worth it, but I did really enjoy the boat ride, so that was worth the money.
In general, we enjoyed the experience. Most employees were very friendly and all spoke perfect English. They were also very helpful and eager to explain things or give suggestions (except for one lady in the kiosk where we bought tickets, who was quite rude). I would definitely recommend a visit!

I visited Krka early in the morning on a weekend day. The parking situation is a little confusing and I still do not know if I parked in some scam lot or an official national park lot. You then pay and take a ferry over to the lower waterfalls. As many have noted, you can no longer swim here, but if you do any research you should know this. The lower waterfalls are nice, but, after seeing Plitvice, can be a little underwhelming. We then returned by ferry and ventured up the park by car. We drove up to Roski Slap first. This tiny waterfall is an absolute joke. It is not worth the drive at all and I feel sorry for anyone that pays a ferry to get close to it. I advise to skip the Roski Slap area entirely. We then drove all the way up to Manojlovac Slap. Manojlovac was the best part of the park and absolutely gorgeous view. The waterfall is towering and the adjacent canyon makes it picturesque. This should be a part of any Krka visit. All in all it was a decent park. The lower falls are above average, Roski is terrible, and Manojlovac the highlight. Do the park only if it fits into your itinerary and please prioritize Plitvice over this.

Special thanks to Tihana in the park's info team. I emailed their "Contact Us" a day or 2 ahead of our visit with some questions and she was really speedy & helpful in her responses, really impressive.
Krka is not cheap and (in my opinion) not as stunning as Plitvice for the same basic high season price, 40 euros per person. Unlike Plitvice Krka charges extra for boat excursions (the basic boat transport from the entrance to Skradinski is included in the entry price) and (more bizarrely!) the toilets. The 1hr 40 boat excursion from Skradinski to Visovac at 15 euros per person is value, the boat is relaxing and you can see different birds along the way and the island is very tranquil, a contrast to the main areas in Krka.
The signage is not great - it wasn't clear where to go for the Visovac tickets, timings and boats, and the main "one-way" walking look around Skradinski Buk seemed to have 2 entrances so all a little confusing.
For the Visovac boats continue on past the food area, and on past the mills and bus park to the ticket booth. From there it's a 400m walk down to the boats (+ free toilets on the dock!!) The boats are small, <20 people each, so it's a ncie trip with view and the island is very calm and peaceful when you get there. A small museum, the church and a stroll around the grounds (swans & cynets when we visited).
Skradinski Buk is pretty crowded as its the star atttraction, but it's still possible to enjoy the views, take lovely photos and its very nice to walk around as the paths are a mix of sunny and shaded. There's a lot of fish in the stunning clear water, and dragonflies and beautiful damselflies alongside the pathways. There a couple of places were you can dip your hands into the refreshing water on a hot day, but no swimming.
Overall a really good day so not bd value. We arrived for the 9 a.m. ferry and left the waterfalls just after 3. Note we walked back from the waterfalls to Skradin as the queue for the ferry was so long - it's 3.4km so not too long, but the first part is uphill and one short section is alongside the road, so not ideal for children or buggies etc. On a hot day it felt like a long walk, especially as we saw 3 ferry boats go by as extras were running unexpectedly!
Parking very close to the park ticket office was around 8 euros for the time we spent.

Bonjour. Nous avons acheté des billets pour visiter le parc dimanche mais les températures annoncées sont hyper élevées... Y-a-t-il de l'ombre à bord du bateau pour le monastère au départ de Roski Slap ? Quelles sont les parties du parc les plus ombragées ! On pensait rentrer par le bateau à Skradin dès 8 h du matin et visiter une autre partie l'après-midi (Roski ou Manojlovaki Slap). Merci pour vos conseils

Hello, I’ll be having a few hours at the Park and was wondering if there was anywhere that I could lock up my bags for a few hours?

We weren't allowed to swim anywhere around Skradinski buk waterfalls (the big one and also a smaller one around). We were told that the swimming is allowed at Roski slap but I can't personally confirm that.

Hey,
Looking to book KrKa National Park using the Skradin entrance. Ive got a couple of questions and would really appreciate it if someone could answer them as I’m finding the website a bit confusing!
Does the boat trip cost include our entrance into the park ?
Do you have to walk far from the boat to the waterfalls?
If i selected the 1pm boat out and got the 4pm boat back will we be able to leave by 5pm ?
Thanks Michelle x

Hi there, so we booked our tickets not directly with the Krka park. We were staying in Split and booked all our trips with Adventure Tours. So our boat ride up to the falls and the entrance ticket was included and our coach trip there plus we had an amazing guide.
To reach the falls it’s not far once off the boat, 5 mins if that.
The boat ride up the river is around 15/20 mins.
So we spent a lovely 2.5/3hrs walking around the falls. It’s great as there’s wooden walk ways all the way around, after we had a drink and a snack before we headed back to our coach.
So I can’t answer the part about booking directly - I’m sure the price surely would include the boat ride and entrance to the park? as you have to get the boat to get to the park.
Maybe drop them a email or call them just to clarify some of your entrance fee / ticket query?
Sorry I couldn’t answer that part.
Hope the rest helps.
🙂☺️

Hello Traveller
Find out the first entry time to the park, as you have to take a boat ride to the falls, so you need to allow this time.
The whole walk around the falls takes around a hour, we stayed for 2 hours, had a drink after the walk. So I guess, just work out your timings, but you should have plenty of time. 🤙🏼

Hi, we are going in August to Croatia, and would like to visit this park, I was there back in 2015 and people was able to swim there. Anyone knows if it is still possible to swim there?

Hi, we visited here last week and it is no longer possible to swim in the waterfall. There is a beach just a short boat ride away from the national park where you can swim.
