Split is Croatia's best-located city for day trips — Krka National Park is 75km north, Hvar Island 1 hour by ferry, Plitvice Lakes 2.5 hours inland, and the Cetina River canyon is 30 minutes south. Almost every major Croatia attraction is reachable in a day from Split.
Croatia's most swimmable national park — travertine waterfalls and emerald pools at Skradinski Buk, plus the Visovac island monastery boat trip.
View Day Trip 🏝️Croatia's most glamorous island — old town fortress, lavender fields, Pakleni Islands swimming and the best beaches in Dalmatia.
View Day Trip ⚓The 'Little Dubrovnik' of the Adriatic — a perfectly preserved medieval walled town on an island of olive groves and famous white wine.
View Day TripNo city in Croatia offers a wider range of day trip options than Split. Within a 2.5-hour radius of the city, you have two national parks (Krka and Plitvice), five major islands accessible by ferry (Brač, Hvar, Šolta, Korčula and Vis), the Cetina River canyon for rafting and canyoning, and the historic cities of Trogir (20 min) and Šibenik (45 min). It's an extraordinary range from a single base.
Our most booked day trip from Split is Krka National Park — only 75km up the coast, with a guide, swimming at Skradinski Buk waterfall and a boat trip to the Visovac island monastery all included. The second most popular is Hvar Island — a morning ferry crossing, guided old town tour, afternoon on the Pakleni Islands and evening ferry back.
For active travellers, the Cetina River canyon is just 30 minutes from Split — half a day of river rafting or canyoning that can be combined with an afternoon in Split itself. We also offer combination days: morning Krka waterfalls, afternoon drive to Šibenik old town; or morning Plitvice Lakes with afternoon Krka on the return — maximising your time in central Dalmatia.
