5Great Nature and Hiking trip- Must see Gem.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Hike and views of the Plitvice Lake and Water Falls. It is a must visit if you are in Zagreb Croatia. Our driver Philip was excellent and made us feel safe and comfortable on very scenic roads. Our guide Ivanka did an excellent job of keeping the big group together on time and with as much information as we needed to enjoy the experience. Our final visit to Rastoke village was good and just sufficient time to enjoy this small village. Overall a good day and an enjoyable tour. Would definitely recommend to do if you are in Zagreb. You can even drive to the Park and do a longer hike if you wish.
5Lovely daytrip
Our guide Marin was really friendly, the tour was well organised, and the lakes are beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!
5Amazing
Very well organized…. Marin was great with us x
5Stunning!
A serene place with stunning scenery! We thoroughly enjoyed our day. It’s too bad the water levels were low and we didn’t get to experience the full effect of the waterfalls but there’s no control over that.
5The walk/trails are very...
The walk/trails are very well maintained. The views of waterfalls and lakes incredible. Although the waterfalls were smaller as end on September, the fall colors were amazing . It was also fun to take the boat.
5Amazing and unique
Fantastic day trip to a unique nature park. Everything went smoothly, from the meeting point and pickup, great guidance from a very informative and funny guide along the way to the park. The walk through the park at a slow and enjoyable pace with quite a few stopping for the photos. The boat ride and panoramic vehicle where cherries on top. Thank you for a great day in this unique wonder of nature.

About Zagreb
Zagreb is Croatia's capital, a city of two historic towns, cathedral spires, café-lined streets and green parks beneath Mount Medvednica.
Zagreb has two historic halves. The Upper Town, Gornji Grad, sits on a hill with cobbled lanes, the tiled-roof church of St Mark and the Lotrščak Tower, from which a cannon is fired at noon each day. Below, the Lower Town has Austro-Hungarian squares, theatres and museums around Ban Jelačić Square, with the twin neo-Gothic spires of the cathedral just east and a short funicular linking the two parts.
Top-ranked sights in Zagreb: Ban Jelačić Square (Trg Bana Jelačića), Gric Tunnel (Tunel Gric), Dolac Market.
