5.00We were picked up from our hotel around 8.30am for this full day tour in a decent sized minibus by Darko (apologies if we misheard) and were quickly on our way. An approximate 90 minute drive and we were at our first stop Rastoke, what a treat this was, we booked the tour purely for the main event of Plitvice but this was the cherry on top. A stunning little town surrounded by rivers and mini waterfalls, very picturesque, you wont spend long here just enough to walk through take a few photos and grab a drunk or as we did an Ice Cream. We jumped back on board and thirty minutes later we were at Plitvice National Park. Photos really dont do it justice, clear water, cascading waterfalls, greenery its a feast for the eyes and camera. Back on the coach and a two hour journey back fully satisfied with our days experience. If you have the time and the money (£110 per person) I can't recommend this highly enough a great trip to see some amazing sights (dont forget your passport).
Wonderful Waterfalls
