Claire – United Kingdom

A really well organised trip, comfortable coach ride with comfort stops. Luca our guide was superb, very informative and interesting he was polite, helpful and friendly and kept the group up to date with messages on a WhatsApp group chat so the trip ran smoothly but everyone could go at their own pace. Plitvicka Lakes national park was beautiful and a highlight of our holiday, we took many pictures and memories away from the day. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature.

Full description

Visit Croatia's first national park, Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of the greatest natural wonders of Europe and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park's unique geology makes it a popular destination for people from all around the world.

Meet up in Split and be greeted by your guide. Board your transportation for the day. While driving to the park, take the chance to enjoy the beautiful Croatian landscape.

Spend approximately 4 hours inside the National Park in the company of your tour guide. Admire 16 beautiful lakes of crystal blue-green water and hypnotic cascades, enjoy a relaxing boat or train ride, and grab a cup of coffee or just rest in the shade in the picnic area.

Plitvice's natural phenomenon causes it to constantly change through the sedimentation of calcium carbonate. It creates special kinds of algae and moss, tufa, or travertine which are deposited to form the natural dams that separate the lakes.

See the changing travertine barriers, curtains, stalactites, channels, and cascades being built and the existing ones. Check out the interesting caves in which remains of prehistoric settlements have been found.
