Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and most famous national park in Croatia. It covers an area of 300 Km2 with a lake system of 16 lakes cascading one on the other. The lakes comprise 1% of the park. Stunning unspoiled nature, thick forests, and mountain meadows, all surrounding the lakes make it a perfect place for a hike and visit. There are numerous trails that can be taken, as well as little train and boat ride (depending on the season).
The national park is part of UNESCO world heritage and is a must-see for all guests coming to Croatia.

Due to a number of inquiries by our guests, we decided to organize and sell this tour. It is a long day tour starting from and returning to Dubrovnik on the same day, but it is a unique way to see Plitvice Lakes and enjoy the beauty of its nature.

All additional info about the park is on this website .

There is also a possibility to stop 75 min in Split Old Town on our way back (extra charge applies)

Our driver-guide will pick you up at your hotel/Airbnb in the air-conditioned vehicle at 05:00 AM (Early pickup is necessary to visit all the sites in time).

We continue driving along the Croatian coast and after 1:30h we continue by modern highway (A1). We will stop on the highway for coffee/breakfast/.

During the drive, our English-speaking driver/guide will fill you in on Croatia’s history, politics, economy, food, people, and customs (you can discuss any topic of your interest with your guide).
