Plitvice Lakes N.P. Bus Tour from Zadar with Skip-the-Line

The park was beautiful. Ante was a good tour guide. However, there was no mask mandate and several people were not wearing a mask on a bus ride lasting over 1 1/2 hours one way.

Josepa was a friendly and informative guide who told us lots about the country of Croatia - including its geography, climate, and history - on the coach ride to the lakes. We started at the upper lakes and worked our way down. The scenery is beautiful, you won't believe how tranquil and blue the water is, and there's plenty of wildlife to be spotted too including fish, ducks, and birds. Lunch was provided on this tour; a pretty simple offering with a cheese and salami roll, an apple, a carton of juice, a bottle of water, and a croissant, which I couldn't eat because of my nut allergy (which I did tell them about beforehand so a little disappointed I didn't get a nut-free alternative but no biggie). It's a 7-8km walk mostly on boardwalks with a few rough parts, and the park entry ticket (200hrk, not included in the price of this tour) entitles you to a boat crossing the largest lake. Our tour ended at the largest waterfall in Croatia, which is spectacular. Then it's a long climb out of the valley to entrance 1 back to meet up with everyone else. The only slight downside was we only got 4.5hrs in the park and I wished we could have stayed longer. Overall, I thoroughly recommend the park as a picturesque place to walk, take pictures, and admire nature. Doing it as a tour allows you to meet fellow travellers, gain knowledge about the country and region, and the lunch provided was fine.

Tour was good but was triple the price of those for £22-6 which did not advertise a tour guide, yet provided just as adept tour guide.

Very beutiful nature with small lakes on different levels with watefalls beteween them and water poring through cracks in the rocks of limestone. The water in the lakes are cristal clear. A fantastic tour walking through this park. Our very competent and nice guide Ante made this a fantastic tour.

Our guide Josephina was brilliant. She gave us a very interesting commentary on the journey to the lakes and a little about the history of Croatia which we enjoyed finding out about. On the walk itself she was attentive and helpful but also gave the freedom to explore independently. The lakes and waterfalls themselves are absolutely beautiful and incredibly blue (photographs don’t do it justice!). It was busy, but still plenty of room to walk and enjoy the scenery. I would highly recommend this tour; be aware that it involves around 8-9km of walking on mixed terrain and is not suitable for wheelchair users or prams.

It was a small group, which was nice. Guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful. The view was worth the 10km walk.

We did this tour and I turned out to be an amazing one..We strated from the upper lakes and descended to the lower lakes..The trip was exciting and comfortable with spectacular views and informative as Ante our guide planned it so well..

This park is so beautiful and I'm so happy I visited in a tour group with viator. Guide gave us great explanations and the scenery is breathtaking! Thank you!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Plitvice NP. Our guide Ante was a very pleasant young man and very approachable. It was a long walk down but didn't want to miss any of the beautiful lakes or waterfalls and am really glad I have taken the time to visit this amazing place.

Catarina was an incredible tour guide. She is extremely knowledgable and talented, and definitely manages a large group of people very well something that's not always easy to do, especially in a place crowded with tourists, like the Plitvice Lakes in August. She is very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this tour in one of the most beautiful parts of Croatia. It was my favorite day of the 2 weeks I spent in Croatia.
