Excellent day trip from Zagreb

If you don't want to drive yourself this is the way to go. A comfortable bus both ways and enough time to see the main sites. I would consider staying overnight at the park to have more time bit this was the next best way to see this gorgeous park.

Wonderful day trip...

From start to finish this was a well organized tour. Everything was communicated clearly and the time in the park was beautiful and scenic. Also, Sanja was very kind and when I accidentally left my water bottle on the bus after the tour was over, was able to help me get it back the next day! Above and beyond service. Couldn't recommend higher.

They should expect around...

They should expect around a 5 km hike with beautiful views. You could pack a sandwich and avoid the pricy food at the end. Overall, the experience was beautiful and I got some great photos.
