Set out from Vodice on a traditional timber boat with a multilingual crew, passing Šibenik, St Nicholas Fortress, and the Krka estuary. Fresh mussels are collected and cooked on board before you spend about three hours exploring Skradinski Buk, watermills, and Jaruga power plant.

“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.”

Le restaurant prévu dans l'activité ( non compris dans le prix) est très bon mais fait payer au prix FORT son exclusivité. Magnifique excursion à ne pas rater. Nous étions un groupe de 8 Belges et 3 charmantes Hollandaises.”
