Frequently Asked Questions

Is luggage secure during the park visit?

Yes! All luggage remains locked in the vehicle's cargo hold. Driver monitors vehicle within official park parking at Lozovac or Skradin - no need for external luggage storage.

Which entrance is better - Lozovac or Skradin?

We recommend Lozovac for most visitors - direct road access, large parking, shuttle bus to Skradinski Buk, and no boat wait times. Skradin is scenic (boat ride along the Krka river canyon) but can have 30-60 min boat queues in peak summer. Tell us your preference when booking.

Can we combine Krka and Plitvice in one day?

We don't recommend it. Both parks are excellent, but combining them means 4+ hours total driving plus 8+ hours park visits - physically exhausting. Better to dedicate a full day to each. Krka is 45 min from Zadar, Plitvice is 1h45min - two separate days give you a much better experience.

Can we do this as a day trip from Zadar?

Yes! Round-trip day excursion (265 €) picks you up in Zadar in the morning, the driver waits 4-5 hours at the park, and returns you same day. Total 7-8 hours. Most popular option for Zadar-based travelers. Closer and faster than Plitvice.

Can we stop at Krka on the way to Split?

Yes! Visit & Go to Split (265 €): Zadar → Krka (3-4h visit) → Split. Luggage stays secure in the vehicle during the park visit. Perfect for travelers moving from the Zadar coast to Split with a waterfall stop. Same price as a round-trip.

Do we need to buy park tickets in advance?

Yes! Tickets are NOT included in the transfer price. Purchase online in advance at the official Krka National Park website. Peak season (July-August) can sell out - book weeks ahead. Approximately 30-40 € per person, depending on the season. Tell us which entrance (Lozovac or Skradin) when booking your ticket.

What's the payment method?

Payment in cash (EUR) directly to the driver at the end of the transfer.
