Full description
Travel from Split or Trogir on this full-day tour to the most beautiful natural park in Europe, protected by UNESCO since 1979 as a World Natural Heritage Site. Plitvice Lakes National Park was founded in 1949, making it one of the oldest national parks in southeastern Europe. In Plitvice National Park, nature has created 16 lakes and connected them with amazing travertine waterfalls. The park covers 29,685 hectares, with lakes making up 200 hectares and forests covering the majority of the area. During your visit, you may encounter a variety of species that have lived in the area since before the time of human arrival. One of the main attractions is the 78-meter-high waterfall known as Veliki Slap, which is the highest waterfall in Croatia. In addition to the guided walks along wooden paths, you’ll enjoy a boat ride across the biggest lake, and also a short train ride. Admire even more stunning scenery on a relaxing drive through the Lika region, taking in the mountain and forest landscapes.

Fortunately, due to Covid, the lakes are quiet to visit this year. Petar, our guide, was very informative of the area on the drive to the lakes from Split and provided us with lots of information whilst at the lakes. He made time to chat to everyone to and helped with taking photos. It was a long day, but it is an area of natural beauty and was worth the trip.

Really enjoyed the tour. Was lovely to be in a cooler environment amongst nature and beautiful scenery. Quite spectacular and was pleased it wasn’t as busy a day as too many people spoil the experience! Our guide Peter was fantastic giving us lots of information and always making sure we haven’t got lost and are happy. I would highly recommend this tour.

The national park is definitely a must-see when in Croatia. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is a long bus ride to the park from Split, but this tour company seems to be very well organized and knows how to make the most out of the time you have in the park
