Top Šibenik Day Trips - page 2

Ideal for travelers looking for outdoor physical activities, this experience combines a boat tour of the Sibenik waterfront with a walking or cycling trip through Krka National Park and swimming (or snorkeling) in Vidrovaca Bay. Other stops include the famous Skradinski Buk Waterfalls, the UNESCO-listed St. Nicholas Fortress, and the island of Prvic Luka.

See Croatia from one of the coolest vantage points—the water—without having to rent a boat and navigate the sea the alone. Along with bus pickup from select Porec hotels, this barbecue boat cruise also includes a lunch and drink, as well as free time to snorkel, swim, or sunbathe.

The forested islands, rocky cliffs, and tranquil bays of the Kornati National Park lie just off the coast of Sibenik. On this tour, set sail on-board a small boat with space for just 12 passengers and enjoy a more relaxed and intimate experience to the big boat tours. Stop at sites such as St Nicholas' Fortress, the Mana cliffs, and Lojena lagoon; admire stunning views from the water; and spend the day swimming, snorkeling, or sunbathing on deck.

There is far too much to mention, but a few snippets you might see and glean include small town which is dating from 339 BC, river which started under waterfall, Ice Age, melting, salty and fresh water, sea level which was on 95 meters lower, First Croatian hydro power station which was the second AC-generating hydroelectric project in the world, unrecognized state of Serbska Krajna, Croatian operation “Storm” against unrecognized state, eight waterfalls (one of them is underwater waterfall), effect of calcareous sinter, the most powerful family in Croatia in the middle Ages, Romans (how could I forget the Romans), trade routes, an ancient Roman roads, hajduks, small balustrade lookout point built for monarch whose nephew assassination started World War one, karst phenomenon, mills, caves, only poisonous snake, and quite a lot more.
