Begin your day with a pickup from your Split hotel, then travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site around four hours away. The largest and oldest of Croatias national parks, Plitvice is a region of outstanding beauty, renowned for its interwoven turquoise lakes, gushing waterfalls and dense forest.
On arrival, set off at a leisurely pace to explore the surrounding woodland. As you wander along the forest trails, let the tranquility wash over you, with only your guides commentary and the sound of wildlife stirring in the undergrowth breaking the peaceful silence.
Admire the towering fir trees and the colorful wild flowers that line the pathways, and pass over quaint wooden bridges for sweeping panoramas of the azure-green lakes. While the trails are steep and your 1.5-mile route takes in some 300 steps, it is well worth it for the excellent vantage points.
Next, treat your legs to a well-earned rest with a ride across one of the lower lakes in an electric boat. As you cruise, notice how clear the lake is despite how vivid the waters appear from afar.
Back on dry land, continue on foot to the higher lakes, stopping every now and then to snap postcard-perfect photos. Then, depending on your preferences, crown your hike with a panoramic tour by either bus or electric train.
Finally, youll enjoy free time to perhaps refuel with lunch at one of the park's cafes (own expense). After around an hour, return to your vehicle and relax on the journey back to Split.

Really enjoyed the plitvice trip, the waterfalls are amazing and really worth seeing if visiting Croatia. We had a great tour guide called Luka who was very professional and friendly, always telling us interesting facts on the journey and at the park. Transport was in a comfortable minibus. Food at the restaurant he picked was affordable and tasty. Only criticism is short amount at the park but given distance from Split the travel time affects that. Overall a good trip, worth doing!

We did this tour on my birthday and what an amazing day, our guide was very knowledgeable and considerate of everyone, we had the local food which was amazing and was nice to go to try the local food.
Is well worth paying the extra to be within a smaller group. and we were lucky that the park wasn't very busy so managed to get some amazing photos, I will never forget this place. -

Be prepared for a long 3-hr ride each way and crowds. We went on a rainy day and it was cold and wet. Bring an umbrella and warm clothes, -no good rain gear I'm sure it is much nicer on a sunny day when you can stop and admire the waterfalls without jostling am ong the imbrellas. Despite all this, we're glad we went.

Definitely a worthwhile experience- gorgeous park w/ amazing waterfalls and tropical colored water! However, if possible I'd highly recommend arranging from a location closer than Split- The 3 hour drive each way is a super long day. Our guide, Iris, was very informative on our drive there but was detached @ park where she was often on her cell phone and unjustly reprimanded a couple different partcipants. Overall, we had a wonderful day walking the trails and were fortunate that the park was not overly crowded as mentioned in other reviews.
