Explore the beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park on this day tour from Zagreb. Located at the top of Croatia’s Adriatic region, in the Dinaric Alps, this UNESCO-listed site is one of the must-see sights in the area. The unanticipated beauty of this National Park lies in its sixteen stunning turquoise colored lakes, harmoniously inter-connected by a chain of waterfalls and surrounded by serene deep-green forests. The sereneness of the nature and the roaring thunder of water falling from one lake to another make you wonder if you’ve accidentally fallen into some fantasy land. Perfect day-trip destination if you want to take in the most of your holiday in Croatia.

The trip was well organized. Special mention to Samantha of Gray Line coach and our driver for their caring attitude. A couple missed the coach by 5 mins as they got lost at the starting point but Samantha and the Driver were kind enough to turn back the bus to pick them up. Having noticed an elderly lady with a walking stick, Samantha adjusted our walking pace for the long trek but kudos to the lady who actually walked at a brisk pace than most young people. The views are mesmerizing. I could have given a 5 star but the lower 4 star rating is due to impolite, impatient, rude staff at their co-partner Vila Velabita restaurant. Having read previous review we were prepared that lunch break will be at around 3:30pm with break time of 90mins as minimum 30 min wait time after ordering meals for each batch of 50 to 60 people per coach. Even though we had ordered lunch and drinks for around 60 euros for our small family, the staff refused to provide tap water to fill one water bottle on our way out insisting on buying mineral water. The irony was Plitvice park is blessed with crystal clear water all around and Samantha had earlier spoken with pride about how safe Croatia's tap water were but the restaurant staff attitude and behaviour was questionable....... There are ample restaurants at the park but Grayline took us to this place which is half hour away from park

The guide Samantha was very nice and knowledgeable. Time at the park however was very limited due to the fact that we had to coordinate with another bus and go to a restaurant on the way back which I did not appreciate. The park is expensive so only getting 2 -3 hours there to walk is not enough and then having to spend money on a dinner I did not really want was a waste of time and money. The park however is beautiful and I would go back there.
Amazing Awesome

Series of cascading lakes and waterfalls. Just go. Spring or autumn is best to avoid the hordes. Also there is less water in summer meaning waterfalls could be less awesome.
