This park is so worth the drive from anywhere to see. A total protected park that has amazing views of the falls. The hike is easy if you are fit. Beyond worth it!

If looking for a hiking etc. type of park, I dont really see this as one. There is plenty of walking, but not quite hiking level stuff.
We went to Krka by car from Split. Theres a huge free parking spot just outside the park. We had got tickets before and got the bus up and down to the falls. Its only a 800m(ish) walk, but on a scortching day like ours, the AC'd bus was a nice option. Tickets can seem rather steep priced, but then again, its a huge effort upkeeping the infra and the park itself.
The walk around the falls is only around 2km. I suggested either going really early - or then after 4pm. At the falls there is also snack bars etc, priced accordingly.
Defintely worth the trip!

An absolute 'must visit' if you can. Easy to get to and the walk through the trees on the raised walkway is beautiful and peaceful in equal measure. I will definitely be back on by next holiday there.

Toilet 5kn, entrance 200kn, free bus is now 10kn (saves you about 875 m walking down / uphill) and is does not bring you to the waterfalls but to the boardwalk trail for a 2 km walk to the actual area. You can buy an additional boat ticket to skip the walk... Food and drinks in the are expensive even for such a touristy place. Staff does not explain things properly and many seem uninterested in offering some customer service. The signs with commercial purposes are okay but the basics, like how to walk to the waterfalls and back is often lacking resulting in bad crowd management. You are not allowed to swim at the waterfalls. Parking is free. Personally I would skip this one and visit Kravica in Bosnia or Plitvice.

Krka National Park lies about 10km inland from Sibenik in Dalmatia, Croatia. Named after the Krka River, the Park covers an area of just over 140 square km and includes two thirds of the river itself. The top attraction of the Park are its magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Skradinski Buk falls which are one of Croatia’s most famous sights. To fully explore the park you will need a few days but the main highlights can be done in a single day, particularly if you book a guide or are on an organized trip. Two essentials are bottled water and Mosquito repellent!.....oh and the right shoes!

We visited Krka expecting to swim in the water at the falls, as this is almost what it is well renowned for. However, since last year (2021), this is no longer possible. Only once you get to the main falls is this signposted and even then it's confusing if you are in the place you expected to be.
With that in mind, it's quite an over-rated place, and not worth the day trip to Split.

Very nice looking park with a lot of waterfalls and beautiful nature. We visited in June and there a decent amount of people there. However there is suppose to be upwards of 10 000 people per day during July and August.
Note that you are not allowed to swim in the park anymore.

If you have transportation on your own, go to the start of the park where the river enters the park. Near Kistanje. There already emperor Franz Josef of Austria and his SiSi went to look and they are right !!
A bit like the Grand Canyon, you see how the river has eroded into the plateau and made the canyon. High falls and beautiful nature and quiet. Super !
Roski falls, a trap 😰 nothing compared to the above and not reachable at all by foot, just by a payable boat trip …
The main entrance is super busy and 200 % commercial exploited…
For nature lovers to avoid
It’s worth the drive to see the high falls and ignore the mass tourism 👍🏻🙏🏻

I came to this park last September and it's absolutely stunning. I was disappointed to find out you can no longer swim there, but I understand why. This is really well set out with some stunning clear water and waterfalls. As you can imagine it gets really busy, so go early if you can. But really with visiting. Take some comfortable shoes as there is a fair bit of walking. I 100% recommend

We enjoyed ourselves at Krka National Park. As other reviews had said, it really is best to go as early as you can. We arrived at a good time and the park was not too busy but by the time we got to the other side where the Ferry is, loads of buses and school groups had arrived. The food and drinks are fairly priced and the crepes at the Crepe Corner were amazing. Also, we recommend taking the ferry and visiting the town of Skradin.

Hello,
If I leave early in the morning from split, Is it possible to visit Krka National park from split and return to split airport by 5pm in the Evening?

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 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.

Bonjour,
Nous nous rendons à split en juillet .Sur le site le prix pour la visite complète comprend les chutes principales , Roški slap
Kistanje, Burnum, Puljane,l'ile de visovac n'en fait pas partie ?
Nous pensons arriver dès 8h pour ne pas perdre de temps.Combien de temps penser vous que nous devrons passer dans le parc pour en profiter pleinement?
Précision nous sommes deux adultes et 5 enfants, mais malgré le prix il me sembleque ce site est incontournable.Qu'en pensez vous?Auriez vous d'autres endroits à nous conseiller.Nous faisons une semaine à Ante au sud de split puis 1 semaine ) molinat au sud de dunrovnik.
Nous vous remercions par avance,

Bonjour,
Il existe différents circuits qui inclut tous les chutes principales et je crois me rappeler que l'île de visovac est incluse dans l'un des billets, mais je ne sais plus lequel.
La seule visite des chutes principales n'est pas aussi longue qu'il n'y paraît, en 1h30 maximum vous avez fait le tour et en prenant votre temps.
A cette durée s'ajoutent celles des visites en bateau qui peuvent aller de 2h a 4h. Donc prévoir la journée est une bonne option, surtout si vous voulez vous poser pour déjeuner avec les enfants. Aucune difficulté pour les enfants.
Honnêtement, c est le premier parc national que nous avons visité. Il est tres sympa pour une 1ere découverte mais ce n' est pas le plus spectaculaire que nous ayons vu ni celui que nous avons préféré.
Notre coup de coeur a en effet été pour le parc de Plitvice, au Nord du pays, donc pas forcément a côté des lieux où vous serez pendant vos vacances.
Pas loin du parc de Krka, vous avez aussi le lac Vrana, qui est une réserve ornithologique ou vous pouvez observer des oiseaux le long d une partie du lac, pour les enfants ça peut être sympa. C est un parcours ludique et intéressant. Dans le prix du billet d entrée, vous accédez au lac, puis a deux autres sites, l'un de l autre côté du lac, ou vous avez un panorama sublime des îles. Une fois sur place, il y a des sentiers mais attention pas mal de pierres et c est un peu "casse gueule" donc pour les enfants, a vous de voir. Enfin, le dernier site, est toujours autour du lac, vous passez un pont et ensuite vous pouvez vous balader tranquillement et facilement dans un grand jardin sur l eau. Cette balade en 3 temps nous avait beaucoup plu. En 1 journée, vous aurez le temps de découvrir les 3 sites et d en profiter.
Pour les autres endroits que nous pourrions vous recommander, bien sûr Split et Dubrovnik, que nous avions visité lors d un précédent voyage. Les deux villes sont très différentes mais tours les deux sont pleines de charme et il y a pleins de choses à faire et à découvrir. Pour Dubrovnik, j ai cru comprendre que depuis quelques années, en raison de l affluence de touristes, le nombre d entrée dans l enceinte de la ville était limité.
Il y a tellement d endroits géniaux en Croatie que c est difficile de tous les lister 😊.
Si vous avez s autres questions, n' hésitez pas.
Bonnes vacances en famille 😎

Buongiorno sono Monica e a fine luglio sarò in Croazia con visita al parco nazionale Krka.
Volevo saper se ci sono dei punti di ristoro (bar, ristoranti) e se dobbiamo prevedere pranzo al sacco
Grazie e buona giornata

I am visiting in July and to order tickets I need to select an arrival/departure time. We are traveling from Split by car and I do not know exactly what time we will arrive and what time we will want to leave (depending on heat, crowds, etc.) but I am required to put in a time. Are the times strict? What if we arrive early or late or want to depart later than indicated? Is this allowed? Thank you.

Hi, we have a baby how accessible is the park with a pram? I hear there are lots of steps? If we travel via the boat can we walk to the waterfalls to swim with the pram? Thank you x

Hi,
Yes, you can go with a pram, to the waterfalls.
Of course, one part has a lot of stairs, which are not good for carrying a parm with you, but you can be all time in the main waterfalls with a pram ( that's enough to see ).

Hallo an Alle! Weiß jemand, ob es spezielle Parkplätze für Motorräder bei Lozovac gibt bzw. ob es kleine Safes gibt um die Motorradausrüstung darin zu verstauen?
Da der Eintritt im September ja wirklich extrem happig ist zahlt es sich aus, nur für den Rundgang um den Skradinski buk, die Wasserfälle zu besuchen?
Danke für eure Hilfe!

I have MS and use a walker. I have been to Croatia 3 times but never visited the Krka Fall. Is it possible walk it? Thank you!

There are stairs throughout the park. I am not sure how you handle stairs. If you wanted to see the main waterfall and get in the water you wouldn't have to deal with any stairs. There is a walking path around the main waterfall that has the stairs.

Hello, sorry I don’t any information that is it possible by cruise ship or not because we went there from Spilit by car...
Can we pay in kuna with travel card?

Our entrance was included in the tour but it's a big enough place so don't think they'll be a problem putting the entrance on a card. Not sure if you can still swim in the waterfalls in October though, might be worth checking before you go.
