Review of the Plitvice Lakes day trip from Split, including transport, walking, boat and train rides, cost, guides, and practical tips.
“This was an amazing trip. Highly recommend. It was a full day trip. The guide Sanja was great. She was a wealth of information and provided stories and histories and local information along the way, but not so much that we could not also just rest and enjoy the trip. She was great and taking pictures, and provided additional tips and information throughout the walk thruogh the park. The park itself should be lakes and waterfalls as it was so beautiful. The day trip itself was extremely well coordinated and went smoothly throughout the drive and time at the park.”

“It’s AMAZING!!! Craig was the best, so full of knowledge. Everyone was! It’s always great when you get. Tour and leave with way more information about the area/experience/thing that you thought you would get. Really awesome!!! Yes it’s cold when you are 2100km up a volcano, and are PAST the clouds, dress like it!! If you want a chance at seeing your zodiac, you have to be there 8-10weeks before your birthday. The food was DELICIOUS, I cleaned the plate and really wanted to go back for more (I got the pork) or a to-go plate!!! The English was perfect, with other guides for Spanish or German. I 100% recommend…”
