- Plitvice Lakes National Park - Plitvice is renowned as a natural wonder due to its ever-changing landscape, shaped by the sedimentation of calcium carbonate. This process creates unique algae and moss, as well as tufa or travertine, which have been and continue to be deposited to form the natural dams that separate the lakes. As this process continues today, new travertine barriers, curtains, stalactites, channels, and cascades are formed, while existing ones evolve. Therefore, even if someone has visited the lakes before, they likely appear different now, offering a fresh experience with each visit. In addition to the lakes, there are fascinating caves where remnants of prehistoric settlements have been discovered.

Fabulous tour - We had been recommended to visit the Plitvice Lakes National Park while in Croatia in September and we were very happy with this fabulous full day tour with our wonderful guide Sanja and confident and safe driver, Marko. Sanja is a perfect and professional guide - she kept us informed with history, geography and cultural facts and anecdotes in an interesting and humorous way. She also kept track of everyone while also providing some flexibility to those who were faster or slower in pace. Our tour route began with the upper lakes and ended with lower lakes with a hill at the end.The tour is unforgettable with stunning waterfalls, whitewater streams and turquoise lakes giving great photo opportunities. It requires reasonable fitness for the approx. three hour tour along paths and boardwalks and up and down steps. The tour bus stops on the way there and back at a service station with bathrooms and a cafe with eat-in or take-away food as well as a shop. The tour is very well managed by the Booker Agency at Split where the tour starts.

A well-organised and unforgettable tour of the must-see Plitvice Lakes - We absolutely loved this tour to the stunning Plitvce Lakes National Park with our wonderful guide Sanja and Marko as driver. Sanja is the perfect guide keeping us informed and entertained as well as discreetly supervising everyone in a professional way. We did the upper and lower lakes route ending with the hill. Marko at all times was a safe driver. The tour is unforgettable with a continuing vista of waterfalls, streams and lakes with blue and turquoise water which is crystal clear when close. It requires walking kilometres alongside the many lakes and includes steps and boardwalks, but it is so worth it for an unforgettable experience. There is a stop on the way and back at a fuel station with bathrooms, restaurant/cafe with eat-in or take-away food, and a shop. I recommend the kremsnita cake and fruit muffins. It is well-organised by the Booker Agency at Split where participants meet at the start of the tour.

A wonderful day ! - A great day : our guide Sanja was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and led us around the lakes without being overbearing . We never felt rushed and were given ample explanations to get ahead if we wished to so we had the opportunity to go off piste if we wished to .
Our mini van was very comfortable and our driver Frank made the journey smooth and safe .

The scenery is beautiful - The view was very beautiful. We were lucky to have good weather.
But it's in the mountains, so it would be nice to have a shorter walk.
