Planning a day trip from Split to Krka National Park? Reliable Split transfers make this one of the most popular and rewarding excursions from the Dalmatian coast — door pickup from your exact Split address, a fixed price for the 103 km journey, and a professional driver who delivers you directly to the park entrance at Skradin or Lozovac in around 1 hour 18 minutes. With Go Shuttle, you spend your day exploring the extraordinary waterfalls and canyons of one of Croatia's most celebrated national parks rather than navigating buses, connections, and parking queues.
Krka National Park is one of the most visited natural attractions in Croatia — a spectacular river canyon where the Krka river cascades over a series of travertine waterfalls, the most famous being Skradinski buk, before flowing into the tidal estuary at Skradin. The park's combination of dramatic scenery, rich birdlife, and accessible walking routes makes it a genuinely exceptional day out from Split. Go Shuttle offers flexible pickup and return timing so you can spend exactly as long as you want exploring the park.

Your Journey: Private Transfer from Split to Krka National Park
The drive from Split to Krka National Park takes just over an hour via the A1 motorway north through the Dalmatian hinterland — an efficient route that leaves the coastal resorts behind and enters the limestone karst landscape of central Dalmatia. Your driver picks you up from your exact Split address and heads north, passing through the Kaštela valley before the motorway opens onto the inland plateau.
Leaving the A1 near Šibenik, the route transitions to the regional road network descending toward the Krka river valley. The landscape here changes dramatically — the bare limestone plateau gives way to the lush, wooded river gorge as the road approaches Skradin, the charming small town at the park's lower entrance where the Krka river broadens into a tidal estuary. From Skradin, a short boat ride carries visitors up to the Skradinski buk waterfall — the park's most celebrated feature.
Alternatively, your driver can take you to the Lozovac entrance above the canyon, from which a shuttle bus descends to Skradinski buk. Your driver will advise on the best entrance point depending on the season and current park access conditions. Drop-off is directly at the park entrance, so you can begin your visit immediately without parking queues or connection stress.
💡 Visitor tip: Krka National Park is extremely popular in July and August — arriving early (before 9:00 AM) significantly reduces queuing at the entrance and allows you to experience the waterfalls before the main crowds arrive. Go Shuttle can pick you up from Split as early as you need. Book your return transfer for a specific time or ask us about flexible return options if you're unsure how long you'll want to spend in the park.

Frequently Asked Questions — Split to Krka National Park Transfer
How much does a private transfer from Split to Krka National Park cost?+
A private taxi from Split to Krka National Park starts from 110€ per vehicle. The price covers the whole vehicle regardless of passenger count. For groups of 4 or more, splitting the vehicle cost makes a private transfer very competitive compared to per-person tour prices — and you get complete scheduling freedom that tours don't offer.
How far is Split from Krka National Park?+
The road distance from Split to Krka National Park (Skradin entrance) is approximately 103 km (64.2 miles). Via the A1 motorway the drive takes around 1 hour 18 minutes under normal conditions. In peak summer, the approach roads around Šibenik can occasionally add 10–15 minutes.
Which entrance to Krka should I use — Skradin or Lozovac?+
Both entrances lead to Skradinski buk waterfall but via different routes. The Skradin entrance involves a scenic 30-minute boat ride up the river estuary to the waterfall — a beautiful experience included in the entrance fee. The Lozovac entrance is above the canyon and uses a park shuttle bus to descend. In peak summer, Lozovac car parks fill very early but since you're arriving by private transfer this is irrelevant — your driver drops you at whichever entrance you prefer. Many visitors find the Skradin boat approach the more memorable way to arrive.
How can I pay for my transfer?+
For 95% of bookings no upfront payment is required — you pay your driver at the end of the journey in cash or by credit card. All prices are fixed and fully inclusive of fuel and motorway tolls. No hidden charges apply. Note that park entry tickets are purchased separately at the park entrance.
Can I cancel my booking?+
Yes — cancellations more than 24 hours before pickup are completely free. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable. Contact us at info@taxitransfers-split.com or via WhatsApp at +385976072953.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?+
All Go Shuttle transfers are priced per vehicle. One person or a group of six pay the same vehicle rate. This makes private transfers to Krka particularly good value when shared among a group — often significantly cheaper per person than organised day tours, with more flexibility included.
How long should I plan to spend at Krka National Park?+
Most visitors spend 3–5 hours at the park. The main Skradinski buk waterfall circuit takes 1.5–2 hours at a leisurely pace. Those visiting via Skradin add the 30-minute boat ride each way. If you plan to visit the medieval Visovac island monastery (an optional boat tour within the park) allow a full day. A typical day trip from Split with Go Shuttle — leaving Split at 8:30 AM, arriving at the park by 9:45 AM, exploring until 2–3 PM, and back in Split by early afternoon — works very well for most visitors.
Can I combine Krka with a visit to Šibenik on the same day?+
Yes. Šibenik is only 15 km from the Krka park entrance and its UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St James is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Croatia. A combined Šibenik–Krka day trip is very popular from Split. If you'd like to include a stop in Šibenik old town, mention this when booking and your driver will plan the route accordingly. The combined journey adds approximately 1 hour to the day but is well worth it for anyone who hasn't visited Šibenik.
Is swimming still allowed at Krka National Park?+
Swimming at Skradinski buk was banned in 2021 to protect the fragile travertine ecosystem. The park remains exceptionally beautiful and entirely worth visiting — the swimming ban has actually improved the experience by reducing extreme overcrowding at the waterfall pools. Visitors can still walk the full waterfall circuit and take boat tours within the park. For swimming, the Krka river below Skradin and several spots near the park boundaries remain accessible.
