An 8.5-hour Krka day trip from Split, booked through the live listing.
Overview
This full-day outing from Split pairs a guided walk through Trogir's old town with a visit to Krka National Park, finished with a panoramic boat cruise along the Krka River. The whole thing runs about 8 hours 30 minutes, starting from the Riva promenade in central Split. The operator is Šugaman Tours, and groups go up to 50 travellers, so expect a coach-tour atmosphere rather than an intimate outing.
The shape of the day matters here. The coach then heads to Krka National Park, where the main draw is Skradinski Buk, the Krka waterfalls. One traveller described the trail there as taking about 30 minutes to walk through.
The boat cruise comes at the end, down the Krka River toward Skradin, with one traveller describing the trip as serene. Between the guided portions and free time, the mix suits people who like some structure but also want space to explore, eat, and take photos on their own. Transport, guide, insurance and hotel pickup and drop-off from selected hotels on request are all included. National Park entry is not, and it is paid in cash at check-in.
