Highlights
- Šibenik - Here you will get a chance to experience idyllic Šibenik, the city of stone. Šibenik’s narrow winding streets, stone houses and stone stairways will make you feel as though you have stepped back in time.
- The Cathedral of St James in Sibenik - You will have a 15-minute presentation of UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St James with a licensed guide. Interestingly, the cathedral of St James is unique to European architecture in that it is made entirely from stone.
Following your guided tour, you will have 45 minutes free time to do some exploring of your own. We recommend a visit to St Michaels fortress which is perched above the old town – or grab an ice-cream.
- Krka National Park - Following this, you have a guided tour of the park and free time to take lunch and some great photos of the Skradinski Buk waterfall. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity you won’t want to miss. Here you can also explore the travertine formations in the Skradinski Buk pools and lap up the crystal clear Krka river waters and the Dalmatian sun.
- Skradin - Afterwards, you will get back on the boat and sail thirty minutes to Skradin town. Here you have a choice to swim at the beach, eat in various local restaurants, taste local wines or just wonder in the gorgeous city of Skradin.

Choose This Tour! - This was an informative, interesting, and fun day - it went by so fast! Our meeting location in Split was easy to find, our guide (Tonko) was great, Sibenik had great history, Krka was absolutely stunning, and the ferry ride to and visit to Skradin was a great end. I think the tour had a good balance of giving us autonomy while being educational at the right times without overloading us with information. Tonko did a great job of providing important information not only about the places we visited, but also how to navigate, meet back up, etc. We picked this tour because of the bonus visit to Sibenik and the in-town visit to the wine garden in Skradin, and it definitely met our expectations. The small group size was helpful, and it was fun to get to know our tour-mates and see them around town. I definitely recommend this tour! (P.S. End of September was a perfect time as it wasn't too crowded; I could even get pictures with no one in them! The weather was also perfect.)

Wonderful day - A very enjoyable day trip. Our guide gave us a good overview of each site and then we were free to explore on our own. I really appreciated this approach as I don't like groups or being herded around. There was just the right amount of time in each place to see major sites, make a few discoveries, and shop without feeling rushed. Sibenik and Krka are both gorgeous places well worth a visit.

One of our favourite days - The waterfalls were amazing and our guide was really helpful. There is a freshwater beach at the final town where you can swim, and they recommended the "wine garden" where you can try all the local wines and then buy a glass and sit in a beautiful courtyard for a really reasonable price. One of our favourite days of the holiday, great for couples.

Excellent trip - We had a very nice time on this trip! The timing for every part of the trip was just enough to see and do everything on our list. We greatly appreciated the punctuality, not only of the tour operator, but also of the other people in the group. Our guide, Nina, was helpful, friendly, fun and knew how to present information in an interesting and engaging way.

Krka & Sibenik tour - Very beautiful waterfalls! Sibenik was a lovely old stone town with lots of history.
The snag we had was that we missed most of the narrative because tour guide did not have audio and was at the front of our group

A bit disappointing - Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. However he promised to provide any help we might need after we left the bus and gave us his phone number. And also offered a wine tasting option at the end if interested. We messaged asking about the restaurants he had recommended and although he did try to call once we missed this and he didn’t follow up. I also messaged about the address for the wine tasting but he never responded so we didn't manage to do this. All the passengers were very prompt and were back at the bus welll before the scheduled time but we were last and still 5 minutes early but he made a point that they’d all been waiting for us. Finally he was doing 100km ph on the motorway back to Split in many places where the limit was 80km ph, we didn’t feel unsafe but the overall feeling was he couldn’t wait to get back to drop us off asap.

Disappointed! - We did not get to go on this your as it was cancelled. We were not informed of the cancellation by either Pelican Tours or Viator and therefore wasted vacation time waiting for the tour guide at the appointed meeting location in Split. When no one showed up, we contacted Pelican Tours and were informed that the tour had been cancelled on August 31. If we had known, we would potentially have a the opportunity to book a different tour. Needless to say, this was a very frustrating experience.
