With their magnificent grounds, they form a unique entity. Visovac Island is among the most important natural and cultural values of the Republic of Croatia.

Skradinski buk waterfall is divine. But I can't recommend the boat excursion. For the excursion from Skradinski buk waterfall to Roški slap waterfall with a large number of people, they chose an unsuitable small boat! There were only a few places (22) up on deck where you can see something and where it's not too hot. For the others, there will be just places below decks, where nothing can be seen (from the whole park I could see only small dirty windows), where it is as hot as in a Finnish sauna and where is a riot. Everyone downstairs was just staring at the phone, sweating, and being desperate.  Upstairs, people preferred to better sit on the floor and stairs rather than being downstairs. I don't understand the choice of this boat when there was a bigger boat with an open deck moored right next to it, which would have been nice for everyone to fit in and see the park. We met that one during the journey, and only two people were sitting in it. Poor organization and information before shutdown and during the entire cruise. We were there half an hour before departure, one of the first, and then suddenly someone whispered something and all ran towards the small boat, and suddenly we were one of the last in line and only the seats in the sauna below left for us. Such an experience is not worth the price of 130 HRK (18 EUR) per person and 4 hours of your...
