★★★★★★★★★★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”

“The lakes/waterfalls are amazing and once you get there its brilliant and would recommend 100% The travel does take a while; however there was a stop for ‘food & drinks’ on route to get lunch as we were told the food and drinks at Plitvice were expensive and not good so this dragged out the day so much - met at 7:30am and we didn't actually get going on the walk until 11:30am - would be better if the tour said just bring your own lunch / buy it at the lakes (its not expensive and its just the basic sandwiches/burgers/hot/cold drinks/ice creams (better option than the stop off) and…”
