Plitvice National park | Private trip from Ljubljana
Description
The unity and harmony of the 16 lakes here and their rare natural and cultural value is not only famous throughout Croatia, but also worldwide; earning this remarkable national park a coveted place on UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites. The path takes us first across Gornja Jezera (Upper Lakes),a system of 12 lakes separated by travertine barriers. Then it's time for a peaceful boat ride towards the second area called Donja Jezera (Lower Lakes), placed in a limestone canyon. Wherever you are in Pltivice it's easy to see why its travertine marble formations are such an extraordinary natural phenomenon. The barriers, sills and other forms created in these lakes, karst rivers and streams are stil an ongoing process that shapes the wonderful landscapes that make your walk through the park so enjoyable. Its these same travertine formations that have and are still creating the numerous magnificent waterfalls here. This constant evolution makes the Plitvice Lakes never look the same.

Amazing tour with the professional guide. The tour is suited for not only group but also solo participant. Duration of tour is well considered.
Steve gave us the most fantastic experience! From the moment he picked us up in Zagreb, he offered a running, informative commentary on Croatian history, geography and culture. Our stop in Rastoke was a special treat and Plitvice was absolutely amazing! If you’re going to Zagreb be sure to schedule an extra day for this tour and be sure to take it with Steve (Klarić).
I went on a trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park with Roundabout Travel, and couldn't be happier with my experience. The guide picked us up on time, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and always there to help take photos for us. It made for a really wonderful day out! Plitvice Lakes itself was a true gem and 100% worth visiting!
Our guide Luka was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing day and would definitely recommend.
Amazing trip! We managed to take lots of photos with stunning views. Special thanks to our guide, Ivan, who did everything in his power for us to have good time. Great driver, he knew answer to our every question and even with the stormy weather, he managed to show us the park and do it all with a smile on his face.
We had a full day of adventure going to Plitvice Lakes. It was a wonderful day of hiking through the national park. Our expert guide Dranka was very knowledgeable about Plitvice and Croatia in general. She was very competent with navigating the road portion of the trip. We felt very safe despite the busy traffic. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in nature and seeing the beauty of the lakes.
It was the best tour I took in my trip to Croatia... Vert well organized and the guide (Luka) was very nice and always had good conversation
This was a great trip - well organised, informative and fun! The meeting point was easy to find and the guide was on time. He was friendly, told us lots of interesting information about the history of Croatia and the local area as we drove, and we stopped off in a beautiful village for a coffee and a wander on the way to the National Park. Whilst at Plitvice Lakes, the guide took us round the best spots but it was also relaxed and we all felt we had time to explore too. There was also plenty of time for photos, and a stop for lunch/coffee/souvenirs.
This trip was from Zagreb, we changed the dates last minute no problem, everything ran on time, all as expected, our guide Patrick was very good, very friendly and informative, we got a feel for the Croatian countryside, a really enjoyable day.
Great experience with friendly and knowledgeable guide, Dino. Pure blue colour of lake’s firmly etched in mind, as is fresh smell of air in woods. Good long walks left us both fully satisfied and restful upon evening return. Both interesting and distressing being informed of relatively recent conflict with evidence of this still visible.
