Itinerary
Plitvice are known as a natural phenomenon because they keep changing through sedimentation of calcium carbonate and create special kinds of algae and moss, tufa or travertine which has been deposited and is still deposited to form the natural dams that separate the lakes. Since the process is ongoing today, just as it always has, new travertine barriers, curtains, stalactites, channels, and cascades are built as the existing ones keep changing. So it doesn’t matter if you have visited the lakes before, they probably look different now, so you can visit them again and never be bored. Besides the lakes, there are some interesting caves in which remains of prehistoric settlements have been found.

Traveler reviews
Excellent!
Sanja was awesome! Easy to understand, very clear voice. Super pleasant mannerisms and fun to listen to. Great work, Sanja!
A must in Croatia
This exceeded my expectations. Sensational day so magical. Sanja was an informative and well organised guide
Most beautiful national park
We LOVED our visit to Plitvice! The waterfalls and lakes are absolutely gorgeous, one more beautiful than the next. Our guide, Luka, was fantastic, providing a history of the park and clear directions for each meeting point. The bus ride from Split is long, about 3.5 hours each way, but completely worth it. Wear comfortable shoes and bring lots of sunscreen.
Grand Trip to Plitvice
Our trip to was a wonderful experience, made even more enjoyable by our excellent tour guide, Sanja. The entire trip was very well organised, and Sanja shared many interesting insights about Croatia’s history, culture, and the places we visited. Her knowledge and passion made the journey much more meaningful. What we appreciated most was her calm and thoughtful approach — there was no rush, allowing us to truly enjoy the beautiful scenery and take in every moment. We feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful guide. Thank you, Sanja, for making our Croatia experience so memorable!
