Split to Kravica Falls day trips

Morning light lifts over the Adriatic, the road turns inland, and the Neretva valley opens towards emerald pools. At Kravica, white water fans over limestone into clear basins, willow shade sits by the shore, and marked areas allow a cool swim in season. With a full day you can add the riverside Tekija at Blagaj or a short old town loop in Mostar.

Documents

Bring passports for all travellers. If your nationality requires a visa, check that your entry is valid for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that you have re-entry rights to Croatia.

Money

Croatia uses the euro. Bosnia and Herzegovina uses the Convertible Mark. Cards work widely; keep some cash for small cafés and stalls at the falls.

Border timing

Queues vary by season and time of day. We plan early starts, use reliable crossings, and adjust the order of stops to keep the day relaxed.

What to wear

Comfortable shoes for steps and damp paths. Swimwear and a light towel for marked zones. Modest clothing for Tekija interiors if you add Blagaj.

Safety and etiquette

Swim only in marked areas, follow lifeguard and guide advice, and keep to signed paths and terraces. Be quiet in places of worship and ask before taking photos during prayer times.
