★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 3,148 reviews · 10 hours · from $88Our pick

A guided day trip from Zadar to Plitvice Lakes with skip-the-line tickets, boat and train rides, then an optional Old Town walk at dusk.

“Our time at the National Park started out with rain which didn’t las. It in no way detracted from the beauty of the park or the walk. Our guide, Filip, was always on hand to make sure his guests did not get lost. He was engaging, professional and ensured we had a relaxed pace and did not feel rushed. After the tour he offered tips by WhatsApp and email to ensure guests got the most out of their stay in Zadar. Thanks for a great day Filip. Elaine”

He explained everything in an engaging way and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. We really enjoyed every single part of the trip, from the breathtaking lakes to the smooth organization of the day. Highly recommended, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Marko as your guide!”

“My wife and I had an outstanding day out with our guides Mia and Sanja - they were friendly, communicated clearly, were knowledgeable, funny and helpful. Plitvice Lakes NP exceeded my expectations with its unique and impressive beauty, unlike anything I've seen to date! This tour involved about 1.5 hours of easy to moderate intensity walking, and all up we spent 4 hours seeing the sights of the park. Be prepared for significant crowds, even in the off season.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,948 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $78.60

Guided Plitvice Lakes day tour from Split with hotel pickup, English guide, and round-trip transport. Upper and Lower Lakes waterfalls.

“Interesting, but I would do a tour that provided transportation only so we could explore on our own (nothing wrong with tour, just personal preference). Stopped for snacks on the way there and at a great little lunch spot on the way home. Ivanka was a great guide. Side note - the gift shop there is very reasonably priced. I saw some items there that were way more expensived in Dubrovnik and Split.”

Zrmanja River: Half-Day Guided Kayaking Tour Near Zadar

9.Zrmanja River: Half-Day Guided Kayaking Tour Near Zadar

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,817 reviews · 5 - 7 hours · from $64

Guided kayaking on the Zrmanja River near Zadar, with canyon scenery, waterfalls, rapids, and time to swim in clear water.

“This is the BEST activity you can do when visiting Zadar! We booked the transfer option which was definitely worth it as other options were much more expensive! The only area for improvement would be a pick up point in the old town, but the walk to the McDonald’s pick up point wasn’t too far. Our guide, Ricky (I may be wrong, I can’t remember his name 😣) was super funny and really helpful! You can rent water shoes there for €3 if you don’t already have some, but they’re definitely necessary for this activity! I had never been kayaking before, but it was really easy to get the hang…”

“Fantastic , Leopold is a wonderful guide . Learnt so much on the tour . The only confusion was the tour is listed as Guide, boat and train which is great but as Boat and train is included in the price of the entry ticket to the park , it seems like false advertising giving people the impression that they have paid for the boat and train twice .”

“The best tour I’ve ever taken. I don’t usually go on many tours, but I’m so glad I joined this one. Our guide, Natasha, was extremely friendly and answered all our “stupid” questions with enthusiasm. If you want to experience the city from a different perspective, I highly recommend taking part in this walking tour. The extra tips and information about the city—beyond just the tour—made our stay in Split so much easier and more enjoyable.”
