Two parks, one ridge, one Roman city
Croatia's two best-known parks, then a trail above Omiš most visitors never find. Unpack once — we drive, you walk.
| Day | Excursion | Drive each way | Walking | Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Plitvice Lakes National Park — boardwalks & terraced lakes | ~3 hrs | Full day on your feet | Easy, long |
| 3 | Krka National Park — Skradinski Buk & nature trails | ~1 hr 30 | Boardwalk loop + trails | Easy |
| 4 | Omiška Dinara — guided mountain hike | From town | Ridge climb, back by afternoon | Moderate / hard |
| 5 | Klis Fortress & Roman Salona, then Split | ~40 min | Sightseeing on foot | Easy |
Park days start early — we want you on the Plitvice boardwalks before the coaches arrive. Your guide sets the order of the four days around the weather.
Day 2 · Plitvice Lakes
Boardwalks & terraced lakes
UNESCO World Heritage · sixteen lakes falling one into the next · a full day on timber boardwalks and lakeside paths · easy underfoot, long on your feet.
Day 3 · Krka
Waterfalls & nature walks
Skradinski Buk, the park's great travertine staircase · boardwalk loop past the old mill houses · time to wander the nature trails.
Day 4 · Omiška Dinara
The hidden ridge
The real walking day. Up from the edge of town onto the limestone ridge, with views over Omiš, the Cetina mouth and across to Brač · moderate to hard.
Day 5 · Klis & Salona
Fortress & Roman ruins
Klis Fortress on its rock above the pass into Split, then Salona, the Roman capital of Dalmatia · afternoon free in Split.

Day-by-day itinerary
Arrival on day 1, four excursion days, departure on day 6. Tap a day to open it.
We meet you in Split and drive you to Hotel Plaža. The rest of the day is free — old town, riverfront and beach are all a short walk away.
Arrive before 18:00 if you can.
An early start north to Croatia's most famous park: sixteen terraced lakes linked by waterfalls, walked on timber boardwalks with your guide. Entrance fees and the drive both ways are included.
A shorter drive to Krka and Skradinski Buk, where the river drops over a staircase of travertine steps past restored watermills. Boardwalk loop, then time on the nature trails.
Swimming is not permitted in Krka National Park.
The hidden half of the trip. From the edge of town your guide takes you up onto the limestone ridge behind Omiš, to viewpoints over the Cetina mouth, the islands and the Adriatic. Back in town by the afternoon.
Klis Fortress, strung along a rock above the pass inland, then the ruins of Salona — the Roman capital of the province of Dalmatia. The afternoon is yours in Split.
Breakfast, check-out and transfer back to Split. The airport is about an hour from Omiš. Extra nights on request.
Every excursion and transfer is organised by us. Outside them your time is your own — your guide will point you to the best places to eat in Omiš.
B&B or half board?
Half board adds five hotel dinners for €95 — about €19 a night. Dinner out in Omiš runs €20–€30 a head, so it pays for itself if you'd rather not think about it after a long park day.

Frequently asked questions
From €850 per person, B&B, sharing a Classic double or twin at the 4★ Hotel Plaža. The price follows the hotel's season: €850 on 3, 10 and 17 April and 23 October; €885 on 24 April, 1 May and 2, 9 and 16 October; €945 on 25 September; €1,030 on 18 September. Half board is always €95 more. Every price includes five nights, four guided excursion days, all transfers and Plitvice and Krka entrance fees. Single occupancy from €120 per person for the five nights.
Plitvice Lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage site with sixteen terraced lakes linked by waterfalls, and Krka, where the river drops over the travertine steps of Skradinski Buk. Entrance fees to both and the drive each way are included.
Both. Two days are spent walking park trails and boardwalks, one is a proper guided mountain hike on the Omiška Dinara ridge above Omiš, and one is cultural: Klis Fortress, Roman Salona and free time in Split.
Activity level 2–3 out of 5. The park days are easy underfoot but long. Omiška Dinara is the demanding day: a steady climb on rocky limestone, moderate to hard. If you can walk comfortably for four hours, you will be fine. No hiking experience is needed.
Plitvice is about three hours each way, so that day starts early. Krka is about an hour and a half. Klis and Salona are around forty minutes. All driving is in our vehicle, with your guide.
All five nights at the family-run 4★ Hotel Plaža on Trg kralja Tomislava in Omiš, a minute from the beach and the old town. A Classic double or twin is included; Superior and Premium rooms and single occupancy are available for a supplement. The city tourist tax is paid at the hotel.
Half board adds dinner at the hotel on all five evenings for €95 more per person — about €19 a night. On B&B your evenings are free and you eat in Omiš, where dinner runs roughly €20–€30 a head.
Only in four windows: April, the first week of May, the second half of September and October. The parks are green and quiet and the ridge above Omiš is cool enough to climb. We don't run it in midsummer, when the limestone is hot and the boardwalks are crowded.
Guaranteed from 5 guests, capped at 8. Below five, the same week can run as a private trip, quoted separately. Children are welcome from age 10 with a parent or guardian; under-12s sharing a room with two adults get a reduced rate.
Split Airport (SPU), about an hour from Omiš. Zadar (140 km) and Dubrovnik (230 km) also work but are further. Transfers from our Split meeting point are included; airport transfers are not, but we can arrange one.
