Transport
The guide and tour bus driver were ace. So incredibly knowledgeable and gave you plenty of refreshment breaks during the trip. The views of the lakes were incredible phenomenal, like nothing we have ever experienced and so were well worth the travel. This trip has made our entire holiday. The only thing that would have improved the day was going when there weren’t so many tourists but I suspect with such a natural wonder as the lakes that’s very rare.
Croatia boasts some of the most beautiful parklands in Europe – and Plitvice Lakes National Park is right at the top of the list. Dive into this UNESCO World Heritage Site on a full-day tour, stepping into the heart of nature with wow-factor waterfalls, lakes, and wooden walkways.
You'll journey inland through the scenic Croatian hills, arriving at the heavily forested Plitvice Lakes National Park, right near the Bosnia-Herzegovina border. Inside the park, you'll have plenty of time to wander the 18km of wooden bridges and pathways snaking around the 16 crystalline lakes. They're the perfect backdrop for some killer snaps.
Your knowledgeable local guide will spill all the tea on the local flora, fauna, and wildlife of the park – from deer and bears to over 120 species of birds. You might even be joined by hosts of butterflies as you walk. Explore the lakes by foot, then take a relaxing boat ride across Kozjak, the park's largest lake. And don't miss the star of the show – the jaw-dropping 78-metre-high Veliki Slap waterfall, the tallest in Croatia.
