ABOUT THE Day Trip to Plitvice Lakes from Zagreb
This tour is operated by our partner Toural Travel.
Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park on this unforgettable day trip from Zagreb. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Croatia’s most treasured natural wonders, featuring 16 interconnected lakes, cascading waterfalls, and lush green forests. Walk along scenic trails and wooden boardwalks, soak in the tranquility of pristine nature, and capture breathtaking views of turquoise waters.
Explore a Fairytale Village and Stunning Waterfalls
Begin your adventure with a visit to Rastoke, a charming riverside village often called "the small Plitvice." Stroll through its picturesque streets, admire traditional wooden houses, and see how the village’s waterfalls once powered historic watermills. Then, continue your journey to Plitvice Lakes, where a local guide will lead you through a spectacular landscape shaped by centuries of flowing water.
Discover the Magic of Plitvice Lakes
Wander through the upper and lower lakes, following trails that lead past waterfalls, emerald pools, and wooden bridges. Stand in awe before Veliki Slap, the park’s tallest waterfall at 78 meters, and take in the sights and sounds of nature at its finest. Whether walking, taking a boat ride, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air, this tour offers a perfect escape into Croatia’s stunning natural beauty.
