Tour Options
Itinerary
Plitvice are known as a natural phenomenon because they keep changing through sedimentation of calcium carbonate and create special kinds of algae and moss, tufa or travertine which has been deposited and is still deposited to form the natural dams that separate the lakes. Since the process is ongoing today, just as it always has, new travertine barriers, curtains, stalactites, channels, and cascades are built as the existing ones keep changing. So it doesn’t matter if you have visited the lakes before, they probably look different now, so you can visit them again and never be bored. Besides the lakes, there are some interesting caves in which remains of prehistoric settlements have been found.

It was very fun and nice to walk there and to see the lakes en our tour guide Luka explained everything perfectly.
Luka was awesome! Recommend for avid hikers and active people.
We had an excellent tour to Plitvice. Lovro is a fantastic guide. The pickup location was very convenient in the morning in the center of Split. The bus ride was comfortable and the WiFi service was very helpful and reliable. There is a 15 min break at a highway rest stop on the way up and back at the half way point of the ride to get food, water, etc. It was a hot day and Lovro kept every engaged and energized. He provided helpful and informative inputs on the ride up on Croatia history, geography, scenery, etc. we spent about four hours in the park to include a 20 min tram ride to the first hike. We hiked the upper lakes followed by a 20 min boat ride, 15 min break, and then hiked the lower lakes. The hikes were at an appropriate pace, enough time to snap photos along the way. One small suggestion for Booker is it may be helpful to have a second guide assisting Lovro, it was a large group so naturally we spread out on the narrow trail so a second guide would have been able to monitor the stragglers in the back of the line in case anyone needed assistance while Lovro led. Lovro still did an amazing job keeping everyone together and making sure we had enough time to see everything. The tour also offers a self guided option that enables more independent touring for those who wanted to hike by themselves. Overall it was an amazing visit to Plitvice and well worth the ride. Thank you Lovro for making it an excellent experience.

Lovro was a fabulous guide and kept us entertained and organised. The tour was sensational and I enjoyed every moment. I would highly recommend doing the guided tour (rather than unguided) as you learn so much about the history, geology and environment from your guide.

Lovro was a fabulous guide. He was really knowledgeable and infused humor every step of the way. Pick up was simple and easy. The park is absolutely stunning and worth the long drive from Split. For those going in August, there is shade along the way and you are not baking in the sun the whole time!

It was a wonderful experience for me and my 12 year old son. The natural beauty of of the national park was breathtaking. The guide Lovro was very funny and knowledgeable. He really managed the crowed well. My 12 year old son was only child in group but he also attended him with great interest and answered every question my inquisitive child had. He shared useful tips, affordable restaurants, history of Croatia which was very insightful. I would definitely recommend Lovro and booker agency to book any guided tours from Split.
