Description

Depart Zagreb in the morning and relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with a professional local guide. Hear engaging stories about Croatian culture and traditions along the way.

Your first stop is Rastoke, a 17th-century watermill village with wooden bridges and traditional houses over clear rivers and waterfalls. It offers a peaceful place to enjoy a coffee by the cascading water.

Next, arrive early at Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Avoid the busiest times as your guide leads you on an 8.5-kilometer (5.5-mile) route across wooden boardwalks. Discover 16 interconnected lakes with shifting colors, stand beneath the Great Waterfall (Veliki Slap), and take an electric boat cruise on crystal-clear waters. The tour concludes with a shuttle bus ride returning you to the park entrance.
