The 15 Best Plitvice Lakes Tours & Day Trips

45 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $15

Sixteen lakes falling into one another over travertine, linked by boardwalk. Getting there is the hard part: these 15 day trips leave from Zagreb, Zadar and Split, and the ones worth paying for include the timed entry ticket rather than leaving you in the queue for it.

“We had a great tour guide Ivanka ( I believe her name was) she was great she go to know us all personally ; Ivanka also knew so much about the Park and its history very passionate about her work and history she made it very interesting. I recommend the tour if you are interested in nature beautiful waterfalls never seen before. The walk is long but a slow steady walk that anyone could do. Walking shoes recommended a water proof jacket incase of water sprays , a bottle of water, poncho .... great day out...”
