Guides & tips
Honest answers to the questions travellers ask us most.
A 4.5-hour speedboat for €55, a full day for €72 to €98, or the car ferry in 1 hour 40 minutes: how to reach Sakarun beach from Zadar.
Read the guide →Day cruises from €45, speedboats from €32 and a sailing trip: how the Kornati and Telašćica trips from Zadar differ, and what to check before booking.
Read the guide →Krka is about an hour from Zadar. Guided trips run from €37 to €63, the park ticket alone from €7. What each costs and what to ask first.
Read the guide →Good to know
Yes, but it is a long one. The lakes are about 135 km away, 1.5 to 2 hours each way, and the guided day tours in our list run around ten hours. Krka is the shorter option at about an hour from Zadar.
Not at Skradinski Buk, the main waterfall. Swimming there has been banned since January 2021. Check the park rules on the day if you were counting on a swim, and do not book a Krka trip for that reason alone.
By boat. Full-day trips take about nine hours and leave in the morning, fast boats do it in four to five hours. Public boats and catamarans go to Sali on Dugi Otok in 45 to 60 minutes, which is the island next to the Kornati.
Most leave from the waterfront at the old town, but not all. A few listings in our stock start in other ports, so read the meeting point on the booking page before you pay.
Zadar is closer to the Kornati, the Zrmanja canyon and Plitvice. Split is the better base for Hvar and the Blue Cave. Krka can be done from either, so choose by what else you want to see. We run a separate site for Split.
A set of pipes under the steps of the old town promenade that plays with the waves. Next to it the Greeting to the Sun lights up at sunset. Both are free and you can walk there without a tour.
