Spend about 10 hours leaving Split for Krka National Park, wooden waterfall paths, a river boat, Skradin free time, and Sladic Winery in Plastovo. Guides such as Gabriella, Sanja, Lovro, and Ivana are praised for clear timing and lively local stories. Park entry is extra and paid in cash.

“Luka was a great guide with amazing, cool energy and an easygoing but attentive attitude. His guide to Dalmatian history during the first leg of the tour up to Skradin was excellently - accurate, relatable, friendly and full of genuine stories. The wine-tasting (which could also be purchased separately for 8 EUR) was fantastic, with friendly guides from the winery with a selection of genuinely local cheese, ham and 4 wines. The Krka NP itself was fantastic - a gorgeous place to casually explore, unwind, meditate and make friends for around 2.5 hrs.”

Krka National Park is worth a visit, and the wine tasting is a must. The small family-run winery produces high-quality wines, and their olive oil is among the best I’ve ever tried. We had enough time to explore the park, everything was well planned. Thank you! :)”

“The day included 3 beautiful swim stops, lounging on the boat, a stop in Hvar and delicious lunch and snacks. The open bar made for a really fun dance party on the way back and the crew and people on board were fantastic. It was the perfect mix of a boat day, seeing some sights and swimming in the beautiful sea. There were some families on board with younger kids but it does get a bit more party vibe, especially by the end of the day with the open bar and dance party so wouldn’t necessarily recommend for families. We were all sad for the day to end, would do…”

“We did the all-inclusive Blue Lagoon and 3-Island tour in early June. The boat was modern and clean, with a great upper deck for sunbathing. Overall, it was a calm and scenic cruise — but lacked the little extras that could’ve made it more special. Pros: • Comfortable boat with clean amenities • Sufficient time at the three stops • Tasty lunch (vegetarian option was solid) • Ice cream for dessert was a nice bonus • Open bar included wine, beer, and water Cons: • Service was polite but very minimal — not particularly accommodating or engaging • Breakfast was just basic chocolate croissants, coffee (no milk), and orange juice…”
