Trip at a glance
Overview
Plitvice Lakes is the oldest national park in Croatia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site: sixteen turquoise lakes linked by waterfalls and travertine pools, set in well-preserved forest. This private day trip takes you there from your Zagreb hotel and continues in the evening to your hotel in Zadar, so you reach the coast and see the park on the way.
You travel in your own vehicle with a driver, stop in Rastoke, a charming village that is 300 years old, and spend the day in the park with a certified local guide. Your entrance tickets are reserved with a skip-the-line pass, so you walk straight in.
