Krka National Park (pronounced Queurka in French) is located just a few miles upstream along the Krka River from the coastal city of Šibenik. It stands out as one of Croatia’s most popular and scenic national parks, and it’s well worth a visit—whether you're arriving by sailboat or exploring by land. The park’s highlight is Skradinski Buk, a breathtaking series of travertine waterfalls and emerald pools cascading through a lush, forested canyon. It's one of the most iconic natural sites in the country. For sailors, the town quay in Skradin offers mooring at a rate of €5 per meter plus 25% VAT—about half the price of the nearby ACI Marina. Entry to the park during the summer season is €40 per person, but the experience is undeniably worth the cost. Don’t hesitate—Krka National Park is a must-see destination on any Croatian itinerary.
Entry point to the Krka river
The ride through the river is very scenic
Skradin is a nice historic town located at the entrance to Krka National Park. The town is a popular stop for sailors, offering an ACI marina and a town quay with water and electricity, and serves as the main gateway to the park’s waterfalls. The ACI marina cost twice as much as the town quay, the only difference being that the town quay does not provide access to a sanitary facility. The town quay is much better located right in the centre of the town, close to restaurants and bars.

The €40 entrance fee includes access to a shuttle boat that takes you to the main entrance of Krka National Park. We opted to walk the 4 km instead and return by boat but that was a mistake. The midday hike along the unshaded trail offers limited views of the river and isn’t particularly rewarding. Once inside the park, follow the 2 km trail that winds through the cascades of Skradinski Buk. The scenery is beautiful, with wooden walkways offering panoramic views of the waterfalls and crystal-clear pools. We did not explore further rides to the monastery or other cascades.
