4 Boat Trips in Sibenik Worth Booking

1.Krka Waterfalls National Park Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 250 reviews · from $93Our pick

Set out from Vodice at 9:00 on a traditional boat with a multilingual crew, passing St Nicholas Fortress and Šibenik before collecting fresh mussels at a local farm. After cruising up the Krka estuary, you get about three hours to explore Skradinski Buk, watermills, and Jaruga power plant. Goran is one especially warm crew member to look for.

“We had a lovely day on this gorgeous traditional timber boat. The staff were so friendly and great to talk to. The host was very helpful and informative and great friendly guy. He also explained with each guest the boat route to the Krka National Park. We loved the fresh mussel and bread lunch cooked on the ship and the national park is truly stunning to walk around. It was also a scenic boat trip past towns and a fortress. We really enjoyed the day and highly recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 71 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $144

Set out from Šibenik at 10 a.m. for a six-hour island-hopping trip to Zlarin, Tijat, and Prvić.

Drivers such as Dino and hosts such as Dragon may vary, so confirm the day’s arrangement before departure.

“We were picked up from the quay at our hotel, the D resort Šibenik, which was a real bonus. The two islands we visited were just as described and we had sufficient time at each to enjoy our surroundings and swim. The additional swim stop was exhilarating. There were six passengers on the boat and we all had a good time that day. We were dropped off at our hotel on the way back, so a hassle free and totally enjoyable day.”
