Full description

Leave Zagreb and head to the Lika region. The first stop on the itinerary is the picturesque watermill village of Rastoke, located at the confluence of the Slunjčica and Korana rivers. Take a stroll through the town to admire the unique rural architecture.

The tour continues on to Plitvice Lakes National Park. This is Croatia’s oldest and most visited national park, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

For centuries, water has formed waterfalls and created 16 crystal-clear lakes in this area. Enjoy the outstanding natural beauty of the forest landscape and the lakes that are connected by a series of waterfalls.

Board an electric boat to cross Lake Kozjak (20-minute ride) and learn more about karst formations and the abundant animal life in the park. Become one with nature, enjoy the clean fresh air, and marvel at the breathtaking views that surround you.

The guide will be with you and your small group throughout the day, and will share some interesting stories about the areas you visit and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Our guide was awesome! The first town we stopped at was something out of a fairytale! The park was beautiful, and nothing you can control but weather was awesome, we saw a rainbow in one of the waterfalls which was so cool!
