How to get to Krka National Park through the right entrance
When deciding how to get to Krka National Park, choose the entrance before arranging your transport. Skradin gives access by seasonal park boat or the walking and cycling route from Skradinski most. Lozovac is the main road entrance for Skradinski buk. A ticket to Skradin town, a drive to Lozovac and an excursion with collection are therefore different arrival plans, even when they lead to the same waterfall area.
The park boat from Skradin takes 20 minutes each way. From 1 April to 31 October, the transfer and return are included in admission. Have your park ticket bought or collected before boarding; a printed online ticket or smartphone code is accepted. The path from Skradinski most is 3,400 m. Use the boat guide to plan that final part and the tickets page for admission and the opening calendar.
Taxi and transfer from Split Airport (SPU)
Split Airport is the primary airport to use in this arrival plan, with Zadar Airport as an alternative. Arrange a road transfer to the exact address you need: your Skradin accommodation, the town access point or a different park entrance. Give that destination when requesting a quote so the journey is planned around your visit rather than a general reference to Krka.
Leave space between your flight arrival and any park connection. Luggage collection, road traffic and the onward park transfer are separate parts of the journey. Agree the collection point, luggage arrangements and return destination with the transfer service. An organised park excursion with city-area collection should be considered separately from an airport transfer, especially if you are hoping to visit the park immediately after landing.

A private road excursion with city-area collection
Collection and return cover Split, Trogir or nearby areas. This is an organised park outing; park tickets and other fees are extra.
Car hire and parking
A hire car from SPU can suit an itinerary combining Skradin with scattered park entrances and upper-river sites. Select Split Airport in the rental station selector, then arrange collection and return around your flight. The car is for the road network and authorised access routes; it does not belong on visitor walking paths. Choose your first entrance before setting navigation.
For Skradin, use the motorway exit Skradin and follow local park signs. For Lozovac, use the Šibenik exit. Parking at the main Lozovac entrance is free. The access road is used by private cars from November to March and by park buses from April to October; a walking alternative is available. In Skradin, budget for paid parking and follow the tariff and conditions displayed at your chosen car park. Do not transfer Lozovac’s parking arrangement to the town.

Split as a departure point
Split can be the starting point for a public-bus journey to Skradin or an organised park excursion. For the bus, select a service for your date and keep its named stop address with your ticket. The operator lists Skradin AS and Skradin stops, so arrival in town should not be treated as a drop-off directly at the park boat.
The private excursion offered here includes collection and return in the stated city area and private road transport, with park admission and other fees extra. A stop in the departure area, lunch or a wine tasting belongs only to the relevant option. Use the private excursion guide if those choices matter more than arranging each leg independently.
Trogir and the distinction between excursion and bus
From Trogir, plan a public-transport journey using the connections actually offered for your travel date. Allow for an interchange where needed and check the return before committing to a park visit. Keep that plan distinct from the excursion’s collection in the town and nearby area.
The organised private trip can reduce the number of separate transport arrangements, but it is still a park excursion rather than airport transport. Read the selected programme for its collection location and optional stops, then leave the park visit itself enough room within the day.
Zadar and Šibenik by public transport
From Zadar, date-specific long-distance bus services can provide a route to Skradin. Use the ticketed stop and current timetable rather than a remembered journey time. Plan the return alongside the outward journey, especially when your day also includes a seasonal park boat.
From Šibenik, ŠIKBUS line 54 is the regional connection serving Skradin. The operator introduced its timetable from 3 September 2026; consult the current day’s departures and fare for the journey you need. Keep time for the movement between the stop and your park access. If staying overnight, compare Skradin and other practical bases before deciding whether to return to the same city.
