Krka Waterfalls Day Trip Guide: What to See & Do

Makarska is a great starting point for exploring Dalmatia, and a day trip to Krka National Park combined with a visit to the charming town of Šibenik is the perfect way to experience both nature and history in a single day.

Why Visit Krka & Šibenik?

Your day begins with a comfortable drive to Šibenik, where you’ll have about 1.5 hours of free time. That’s just enough to take a leisurely stroll through the old town, grab a coffee by the sea, and maybe pick up a snack to enjoy later in the park. Šibenik’s historic charm, stone alleyways, and relaxed coastal vibe make it a delightful stop.

After the short city break, we continue to Krka National Park, where you’ll be surrounded by stunning waterfalls, lush greenery, and scenic wooden pathways. It’s a peaceful and refreshing escape into nature.
