“Stunning! Great experience with Mia & Sanja walking through the National park. I couldn’t imagine leaving Croatia without having visited.

Early pickup from Split to Plitvice Lakes: guided Upper and Lower Lakes walks, round-trip transport, and optional lunch on a long day.
“Plitvice is a beautiful national park with many waterfalls. Even inbthe fog, it was lovely. We took the last tour of the season in November until next spring. Our tour guides Mia & Sonia were excellent and knowledgeable. They spoke perfect English. Most of the day the weather was foggy and cold. 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully, we dressed in layers and brought hats and gloves. It is a very long ride from Split. Approximately 12 hours round trip. Three hours each way on a comfortable bus, so be prepared. We wore hiking shoes, brought water and our breakfast. There is one midway quick bathroom stop where you can but food…”

“Amazing tour to Plitvice lakes from Split - can only recommend to do this with Booker. The guide Lovro aka Larry was great, too: funny and entertaining, provided a lot of insightful information and was kind and helpful as well. I did the self-guided tour. Instructions were clear and hard to miss, if you just follow them the tour will work out perfectly fine. Many thanks to Booker, Lovro and also to Marko who drove us safely to Plitvice and back (the bus was very comfortable, too).”
