5.00We have been today to Plitvice National Park and have had a wonderful day. Clear instructions of where to meet and then the guide on the bus (Karlo) explained timings of the day and that we could stay with him or go and do our own thing with some timings of what time to be at each point to get back in time. It was very well organised with the most amazing views. 10/10 from us. Thank you Dragan and team

5.00Wonderful day out walking 8 km passing many spectacular cascades and water falls . Well thought out excursion with boat ride and trolley car included in the walk.
Very touristy

3.00Plitvice lakes are beautiful, but trip is very touristy and it is 'traffic jam walking'. Not included in the booking is the entrance ticket to the park. There was a distinction between high and low season in pricing uncertainty about this. However, included in the booking is boat and train tour in the park. That is nonsense, of course, because the park ticket itself also provides it. That is misleading in the case of a roaring recruitment ‘lowest price guarantee’. No matter where you book, you end up paying the same everywhere.
Great tour, but you should communicate with the organisator before the day.

4.00It was a really great tour! The national Park is stunning. A must see place! The guide was excellent, it was great to follow someone since you don’t want to get lost in the Park. But, i suggest you must communicante with the organisator before the activity so they can confirm the exact departure place, since we had a miscommunication with them, and missed the bus. They fortunately found us another departure that day, and everything turned out fine. Communication is key.
Spectacular scenery

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I have seen waterfalls around the world and though not particularly high or as well known as others, the numerous waterfalls of this national Park rank them as a group among the more spectacular ones globally. The tour offers time for completing either the B (shorter 4 km) or C (longer 8 km loops), both of which offer numerous waterfalls, though the longer C loop includes some of the nicer ones. An important note that the tour leader should make clear is that in order to complete the longer loop in time to get back to the bus, at least a moderate pace is required if you want to have adequate time for taking photos. The line for the boat can be long and cause delays for continuing the C loop. Once disembarking the boat, I would recommend not starting the remainder of the C loop after 12:30 pm in order to catch the 'train' by around 2 pm to get back to the bus by 3 pm for the journey back to Zadar. Better to try to have more time (preferably starting after leaving the boat soon after noon) to have a somewhat more relaxed pace walk.
Great place
