Additional Information
The collective beauty and distinctive natural and cultural significance of the 16 lakes here have gained not only national recognition in Croatia, but also international acclaim, earning this exceptional national park a well-deserved spot on UNESCO’s World Heritage sites list.
Our journey begins by exploring Gornja Jezera (Upper Lakes), a complex of 12 lakes separated by travertine barriers. We then switch gears for a serene boat ride headed towards Donja Jezera (Lower Lakes), situated within a limestone canyon. No matter where you stand in Plitvice, the sight of its extraordinary travertine marble formations makes it clear why they’re regarded as an impressive natural spectacle. The structures, thresholds, and diverse forms found in these lakes, karst rivers, and streams are part of an ongoing process that crafts the awe-inspiring landscapes that make your park visit so pleasurable. It’s these travertine formations that have been and continue to produce the numerous breathtaking waterfalls in this area. This ongoing transformation ensures that the Plitvice Lakes always offer a fresh and unique sight.

If you’re going to Zagreb… - Steve gave us the most fantastic experience! From the moment he picked us up in Zagreb, he offered a running, informative commentary on Croatian history, geography and culture. Our stop in Rastoke was a special treat and Plitvice was absolutely amazing! If you’re going to Zagreb be sure to schedule an extra day for this tour and be sure to take it with Steve (Klarić).

Great day out with Roundabout Travel - I went on a trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park with Roundabout Travel, and couldn't be happier with my experience. The guide picked us up on time, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and always there to help take photos for us. It made for a really wonderful day out! Plitvice Lakes itself was a true gem and 100% worth visiting!

Highly recommend Plitvice Lakes - We had a full day of adventure going to Plitvice Lakes. It was a wonderful day of hiking through the national park. Our expert guide Dranka was very knowledgeable about Plitvice and Croatia in general. She was very competent with navigating the road portion of the trip. We felt very safe despite the busy traffic. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in nature and seeing the beauty of the lakes.

Great excursion, definitely worth it! - This was a great trip - well organised, informative and fun! The meeting point was easy to find and the guide was on time. He was friendly, told us lots of interesting information about the history of Croatia and the local area as we drove, and we stopped off in a beautiful village for a coffee and a wander on the way to the National Park.
Whilst at Plitvice Lakes, the guide took us round the best spots but it was also relaxed and we all felt we had time to explore too. There was also plenty of time for photos, and a stop for lunch/coffee/souvenirs.

Lakes waterfalls and Rastoke. - Great experience with friendly and knowledgeable guide, Dino. Pure blue colour of lake’s firmly etched in mind, as is fresh smell of air in woods. Good long walks left us both fully satisfied and restful upon evening return. Both interesting and distressing being informed of relatively recent conflict with evidence of this still visible.

Must see when near Zagreb - A fantastic day with Patrick, who was very knowledgeable of Croatia itself but then also the National Park and lakes. A must visit when near Zagreb, absolute beauty captured in nature.
