The closest of the big national-park day trips — turquoise falls in a forest setting, an easy hour from Trogir. Here's how to visit, what it costs, and whether to take a tour or drive yourself.
~70 km / about 1 hour north of Trogir to the Lozovac entrance.
A relaxed full day, or a half day if you drive and start early.
Skradinski Buk — the wide, terraced main waterfall.
Krka delivers the turquoise-falls scenery people travel to Croatia for, without the long haul of Plitvice. It's a natural pairing with a relaxed Trogir base — see all options on our day trips guide.
Skradinski Buk is a 400-metre run of travertine cascades you walk around on boardwalks, framed by forest and mill houses.
Most visitors enter at Lozovac; in summer a shuttle bus runs down to the falls. From Skradin you can arrive by boat along the river.
The historic town of Šibenik is close by, and many full-day tours add a stop there — a good combination if you have the time.
Transfer and park entry are usually included, with instant confirmation and free cancellation on most.
Round transfer from the Trogir area, national park entry and free time at the falls. The simplest way to go — no driving, no parking, no queueing for tickets.
The falls plus a guided stop in the UNESCO city of Šibenik and its cathedral — a fuller day for those who want culture with their nature.
Approach the falls by boat along the Krka river from Skradin — the most relaxed and photogenic way in, with time to swim where permitted.

A tour means zero logistics. Self-driving gives you more time at the falls, an early start before the crowds, and can work out cheaper for a family — Krka is a straightforward hour up the motorway.

Krka National Park is roughly an hour's drive north of Trogir (about 70 km to the Lozovac entrance). That makes it the closest of the big national-park day trips and an easy half- or full-day out.
Swimming directly under Skradinski Buk was restricted in recent seasons, but there are designated swimming areas nearby in the park depending on the year's rules. Bring a swimsuit and check the current signage on arrival.
Krka is closer (about 1 hour vs 2.5 hours), smaller and easier to combine with a swim, which makes it the better choice on a short trip. Plitvice is larger and more dramatic but a much longer day.
An organised tour includes transfer and usually park entry with no parking or logistics to worry about. Self-driving gives you more time and flexibility and can be cheaper for a family. Both work well from Trogir.
Reserve a tour with instant confirmation and free cancellation, or grab a hire car and drive it yourself — either way, start early.
