Krka Waterfalls & Wine and Cheese Tasting Tour from Split
Description
Our merry group of travelers will set off from Split in an air-conditioned vehicle with available Wi-Fi. After skipping the line into the park, you'll be overwhelmed by the sensation that you're exactly where you should be - surrounded by the impossible green and the crystal clear blue scenery. We'll walk to the most magnificent of all waterfalls - Skradinski buk. This is where your device’s memory cards will come in handy as you won’t be able to stop taking photos. Swimming in the park is prohibited since it would disrupt the ecosystem. After guiding you through the park we'll take a short bus ride to the picturesque town of Skradin on the other side of Krka. There we'll visit the Sladić winery, taste micro local wines with cheese & olive oil and learn their tales. Afterwards you’ll have an hour more to explore Skradin and the finale will be making up for the missed swim in Krka on the beach where the river pours into the Adriatic sea.

Firstly, and importantly, the Krka Waterfalls were beautiful and well worth visiting. However, the day was poorly organised by our guide Stipe. Firstly, he gave only a brief and confusing outline of the day, relying on swathes of information posted to a WhatsApp group (tough if you hadn't brought your smart phone). Secondly, he rushed through the Park, with insufficient time to take everything in, given the number of visitors, having said that those going to the wine tasting had to stick to his personal timetable. This left us with 40 mins spare time which would have been better spent on a more relaxed walk. Thirdly, he was totally unsympathetic to my wife who had hurt her leg and was using a stick: "This should take 7 to 8 minutes" (looks dismissively at my wife) "or 10 minutes for you". Fourthly, he left during the wine tasting having given only sketchy details of how to get to the beach. His "It's 2 minutes over there" made no mention of the fact that we had to leave the town of Skradin and cross a bridge. All in all, the organisation was a long way from what we have come to expect from Viator.
Hi, we have such an amazing day with you and the tour. You have been extremely informative, taken us to absolutely beautiful places. The wine tasting and lunch was delicious, the staff at the winery could not do enough. We are now sat on the marina, enjoying another glass of rose in the beautiful sunshine. We would, without hesitation recommend you to any future families/couples wanting to visit your stunning national park. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for the review and for spending your time with Flarent. We are glad you enjoyed with us and on wine tasting in Skradin. Best regards, Flarent team
Stephen was awesome! He was very organized and easy and open to talk to. The trip itself is well worth it as you get to see a beautiful national park and a lovely beach. Well worth it.
Thank you for the review, we are glad you liked our tour and our guide Stipe. Best regards, Flarent team
Krka Park is a must-visit! Such a beautiful place and our guide Stipe was so friendly and knowledgeable. He made the trail around Krka so easy and even showed us directly to the wine tasting. The staff at the restaurant were lovely and the wines were incredible. Plus it was just our small friend group at the tasting so it was very private and relaxed. Definite recommend!

Brilliant look at the countryside to/from Krka with our driver Joseph. The national park was stunning - fantastic to walk around with commentary from out guide Stipe. The boat ride to Skradin was nice (little to no wait in the queue due to Stipe's timing) - wine tasting was good - hero was the desert wine which I don't often lean into
Thank you for the review and for spending your time with Flarent. We are glad you had a nice time with us! Best regards, Flarent team
If you want to feel like you’re walking through Rivendell in Lord of the Rings, or part of the video game, Zelda, this is the trip for you! Krka national Park was BEAUTIFUL. To avoid spoiling it, you just have to see it.. If you are used to doing a lot of hiking, I would reset expectations. This is more of a beautiful walk-through nature, but not going to accumulate a ton of mileage. We added on the wine tour and absolutely loved the winery. It’s local and had a very authentic Mom and Pop feel. Highly recommend getting either the avocado and shrimp salad or their homemade Skradin risotto. Our tour guide, Steepe (sorry on spelling) was knowledgeable, efficient, and offered even after the tour to allow him to text him for questions or recommendations. So nice! Be on time to the tour. It just makes it more efficient for all.

Fantastic day - was truly a wonderful trip. Beautiful falls, great boat ride, comfortable bus, very well organised with plenty of useful info from our guide but also enough free time. Would absolutely recommend as a must do if you are in Split for a few days or more....
Thank you for being our guests. We are pleased when our guests recognize our effort and love for what we do. Hope to see you again sometime, All the best, Flarent team
Vice view in the National Park. The guide, Steve gave the information and instructions very clearly.
Thank you for the review and for spending your time with Flarent. Best regards, Flarent team
This is a beautiful park! The walking trails are easy to maneuver in sneakers or sandals. Take time to see the wildlife! This is a nice day trip that takes you out of the city for a bit

What isn’t written on the description of the excursion is that we need to get on a 15-20 min boat ride to the national forest. Whilst I love boats I do think it’s worth mentioning for those who may not as it is the only way to get there. Also we queued for the boat for an hour each way, we were lucky that it wasn’t mid August as that would’ve been pretty brutal but again worth giving a heads up so that you can prepare with water/snacks during the wait.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The boat transfer is part of the experience , which is why we don’t usually highlight it separately, as most guests enjoy it as part of the excursion. However, we completely understand your point and appreciate the suggestion, especially for guests who may be less comfortable with boat rides. We’re also sorry about the waiting time for the boats. During busier periods, queues can unfortunately occur and are managed by the national park authorities. We appreciate your recommendation regarding water and snacks and will certainly take it into consideration when providing information to future guests. We’re very sorry if this caused any inconvenience or disappointment.”
