“Stunning! Great experience with Mia & Sanja walking through the National park. I couldn’t imagine leaving Croatia without having visited. Saying this, I would have loved more time to really take in the beauty of the park, but the pace was kept so we’d be able to see the majority of lakes, falls & scenery. Highly recommend.”

“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…”
