Beautiful hiking location

A beautiful day to plitvice lakes. We had a great hike around the lakes. Our guides Mia and Sanja were excellent and provided great information and kept the group on schedule. Our driver Drago did a good job getting us there and back safely. The hiking is fairly easy and thankfully the park was not too crowded in late Sept. Restaurant had plenty of choices for grabbing a quick bite. The pick up was a little confusing because our voucher had the wrong address on it so we couldn’t find the right group.

Amazing!

I really appreciated the ability to do the tour without the formal guided experience. Our guides, Mia and Sanja, were super accommodating and allowed us to experience the park safely and confidently. They helped us understand where to go, and had very fun personalities that kept the long bus ride enjoyable. Would recommend!

Viator booking of Plitvice Notional Park

Mia and Sonja were excellent! Having 2 guides really complimented the trip. They were funny, kind, and educated! We learned so much about your beautiful country of Croatia, Plitvice National Park and the cultures of your beautiful country! We are so glad we took this trip. We were a bit hesitant to take such a long tour the day after we flew in but have no regrets! Her emphasis on safety of the group was definitely a priority. They left us with a desire to come back!!! Thank you! (And Mia has a beautiful singing voice! (Private joke). Thank you!

Plitvice Lakes worth seeing

Beautiful national park. Many waterfalls and lakes with clear water. Lovely green color. Our guides Mia and Sonja were great. Mia was incredibly knowledgeable about Croatia geography, geology and history. I would love to go with her again.
