About this experience

Full-Day Trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park from Split This full-day trip from Split takes you to Croatia's oldest national park, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls. You'll travel in comfort aboard an air-conditioned coach with an English-speaking guide who shares insights about the park's formation and wildlife throughout the day. The tour covers both the Upper and Lower Lakes zones via wooden boardwalks and forest trails. You'll see Veliki Slap, Croatia's tallest waterfall, and enjoy a boat ride on Kozjak Lake when conditions permit. The guided portion includes strategic photo stops at viewpoints offering sweeping park vistas, followed by free time to explore independently or relax in the natural surroundings.
