Very fun day trip
The trip was great! Our guide Kacper was a great and he kept us informed every step of the way on our time at each stop and knowing what we can do at each one. Zakopane was great with lots of stalls to buy from and amazing views from the top. The thermal baths were the best though with many relaxing spots and also fun ones like a lazy river and slides. 5/5!

Fun
Great place to have fun with friends. For me, 2 hours is enough if you don’t like saunas or hot tubs. The SPA is really big, but I would love to see more slides if you come there to have fun as we did. Otherwise, there are a lot of pools, hot tubs, and other activities.
