About

Your experience

Set off from Zagreb on a scenic group journey into Croatia's renowned landscapes. Begin with an early morning meeting and a warm welcome from your licensed English-speaking guide, ready to make your day both informative and memorable.

Getting started

Board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and travel through picturesque countryside to reach the village of Rastoke. Your guide shares insights into the day’s plan and introduces you to the rich cultural and natural history of the region before arrival.

What to expect

First, wander the riverside village of Rastoke, where rustic watermills and charming stone cottages sit at the meeting point of two rivers. Learn about traditional mill workings and enjoy the serene atmosphere created by tumbling waterfalls and lush banks. This area, often known as the 'Small Plitvice,' offers the perfect introduction to Croatia’s rural heritage.

The main event is Plitvice Lakes National Park, celebrated for its unique network of 16 tiered lakes and over 90 sparkling waterfalls. The park’s landscape of turquoise waters and forested paths is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for biodiversity and crystal-clear waters. Follow your guide along wooden boardwalks and forest trails, taking in the ever-changing vistas of pools and cascades.

Features

  • Rastoke Village: Stroll through a village shaped by rivers, with wooden watermills, old houses, and cascading waters creating a unique open-air museum setting.

  • Plitvice Lakes National Park: Join your guide for an engaging walk covering around 8.5 km, visiting the Lower Lakes, Upper Lakes scenic points, and viewing the most iconic waterfalls up close.

  • Guided insights: Hear the fascinating stories of Plitvice’s history, legends, and the wildlife that inhabit the park, from rare birds to protected plants.

  • Kozjak Lake boat ride: Board an electric boat for a 20-minute cruise on Plitvice’s largest lake, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and green forests, offering a tranquil, photo-worthy experience.

  • Panoramic train ride: When in operation, the tour includes a relaxing train ride providing breathtaking views over the lakes and dense woodlands—a convenient way to travel through the park's highlights.

  • Small-group comfort: This tour is capped at a limited number of guests, guaranteeing easier communication with your guide and a flexible pace throughout the day.

  • Transfers included: With round-trip transportation straight from Zagreb plus select hotel pick-up options, you can focus on enjoying the surroundings instead of travel logistics.

  • Convenience and value: All entry tickets, transport, guided walks, boat and train rides are included, so you have nothing extra to organize.

Be prepared for a full-day adventure, walking at a steady pace to maximize your time amidst nature. The tour covers key highlights and some off-the-beaten-path vistas for stunning photos and quiet appreciation of the park’s beauty.
