Great Nature and Hiking trip- Must see Gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Hike and views of the Plitvice Lake and Water Falls. It is a must visit if you are in Zagreb Croatia. Our driver Philip was excellent and made us feel safe and comfortable on very scenic roads. Our guide Ivanka did an excellent job of keeping the big group together on time and with as much information as we needed to enjoy the experience. Our final visit to Rastoke village was good and just sufficient time to enjoy this small village. Overall a good day and an enjoyable tour. Would definitely recommend to do if you are in Zagreb. You can even drive to the Park and do a longer hike if you wish.

Thank you! We’re happy to hear you had a great time with us.

Stunning!

A serene place with stunning scenery! We thoroughly enjoyed our day. It’s too bad the water levels were low and we didn’t get to experience the full effect of the waterfalls but there’s no control over that.

The walk/trails are very well maintained. The views of waterfalls and lakes incredible. Although the waterfalls were smaller as end on September, the fall colors were amazing . It was also fun to take the boat.

Amazing and unique

Fantastic day trip to a unique nature park. Everything went smoothly, from the meeting point and pickup, great guidance from a very informative and funny guide along the way to the park. The walk through the park at a slow and enjoyable pace with quite a few stopping for the photos. The boat ride and panoramic vehicle where cherries on top. Thank you for a great day in this unique wonder of nature.

A fantastic day out

A very pleasant day. Plenty of walking but at a slow and steady pace following the trails. Our guide Marco was great and would walk at a pace that suited everyone and was very knowledgable. The trip was well worth the effort to see the lakes and waterrfalls. Wear suitable footwear for walking.
