Top-rated day trip (4.9/5 from 7,000+ reviews). Ride the Gubałówka cable car, taste highlander cheese & local vodka, and enjoy a full 3 hours at Chocholow Thermal Baths — modern geothermal hot springs with outdoor thermal pools, slides, pool bars and unforgettable mountain views.
Your tour will begin with a pick-up from your hotel. During the journey to Zakopane, we have two amazing stops planned. Chochołów - one of the most beautiful villages in Southern Poland where you'll find the oldest houses inhabited by locals.
When we arrive at our destination - Zakopane, your guide will explain how to use the funicular car and provide you with all the necessary tickets, saving you time and avoiding the ticket office queues.
The thermal pools in Chochołów are one of the largest facilities of this kind in Poland. The health properties of the water have a positive impact on the skin and overall well-being. Pool bars allow for a moment of relaxation with a drink! See you on board!

5.00Exceptional customer service. Kamil, Olaf, and Kaja have been absolutely amazing. We had a great time trying Polish Vodka and Cheese in the Highlands of Chochołow, Kamil had the minibus in great spirits. The views from Zakopane and the thermal baths were spectacular, nothing felt rushed and the Kamil was always there if needed. We had a member of our party fall ill and he did everything he could to help, even organising a later bus back to avoid paying for a taxi if we wanted. Also I left my watch at the thermal baths accidentally when changing my shoes and together Kamil and Olaf made sure that I was able to receive my watch back, even delivering it to our hotel by hand!!! The service has been way above and beyond anything I would’ve expected. I highly recommend the tour, but also the staff. They have truly been amazing!
Fabulous trip

5.00A wonderful experience from start to finish. Our guide Nico was friendly, professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He accommodated our request to change our plans and remain in Zacopane overnight by altering our itinerary to suit us. The visit to a traditional home, with its wonderful craftsmanship was thoroughly enjoyable; the cheese and vodka tasting was great; the pinnacle ride was fabulous, even in the fog, and the thermal baths were brilliant. Zacopane was magical, beautiful scenery, wonderful waterfall, great food and lovely people. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone intending to visit Krakow.
