Escape into the heart of Croatia’s natural beauty with our semi-private day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park from Zagreb. This UNESCO-protected wonder spans 295 square kilometers of pristine forest, featuring 16 terraced lakes connected by stunning waterfalls and set in a dramatic limestone canyon. Stroll scenic wooden walkways and forest trails, take a relaxing ferry across Lake Kozjak, and witness the majestic Veliki Slap, Croatia’s highest waterfall.
What sets our tour apart is our small-group approach—ensuring a personal, unhurried experience. You’ll travel in a comfortable van with free Wi-Fi, snack, and bottled water, guided by a friendly local who’s both knowledgeable and flexible. Their personal insights will give you a deeper understanding of Croatian culture and everyday life. Spend a day immersed in nature, beauty, and authentic local connection.

Beautiful place on the way from zagreb to zadar, you have to walk a lot not suitable for people with motor difficulty, we rented a car in zagreb, and we toured everything

Dalia was an excellent guide for this trip to Plitvice. She knew I was a photographer and was patient and helped me when I stopped at every possible photo location. With a group including people who only spoke Spanish and myself only understanding English Dalia gave all tour information in both languages so none of us missed out! She knew Croatia history and shared that with us. Dalia was friendly and so helpful, making this day tour exceptional for everyone.

It was an awesome experience with both a good guide and good company from other passengers. We had luck to get it on a sunny and Autumn day so sightseeing was awesome with colorful trees. Amazing landscapes and view. The guide shared a lot of informations with us regarding history, cities’ curiosities and culture from Croatia.

The day with Dalia was extraordinary: for all ages, she adapted. Our small group of 6 people was a perfect number. The toilet break was regular, I learned a lot about the country’s history, culture, fauna and flora. The whole organization is thoughtful: bottle of water to start the hike, then the bus finally the boat and snack at the end of the day. I highly recommend this tour.

It freed us from the massing of people by doing it in the reverse direction. Dalia is a fun guide and makes it very enjoyable. Small group.

The Dalia guide is clear, dynamic and very good guide on this long journey. Everything has been wonderful and the park is a must-see nature gift!

A great day out in nature, lots of exercise >15,000 steps and some steep climbs and all worth it. Our guide Drako was great. Try to avoid visiting in Summer, best in April and May for lots of water in the falls, in October and November it's the Autumn colors, September is great for cooler temps and less crowded.
