Additional Information

Spend your evening and afternoon in the scenic Polish mountains.

Explore Zakopane, nestled within the Tatras. This location is widely celebrated for its unique culture that reflects the lifestyle of the highlanders in the Podhale area. It’s also regarded as Poland’s prime skiing destination. Krupowki, Zakopane’s most renowned street, teems with traditional markets that sell memorabilia and offer local delicacies like Oscypek, the smoked cheese.

In the settlement of Chocholow, marvel at the age-old wooden houses crafted by highlanders, and indulge in the massive thermal baths complex situated there. Immersing yourself in its warm waters may help unwind and de-stress. These naturally sourced waters, siphoned from roughly 3600 meters beneath the earth’s surface, are believed to provide various health benefits.

The order of attractions is flexible to the group’s preferences – you can start with Zakopane and then proceed to the thermal baths in the evening, or vice versa.

Fantastic Views! Piotr the Tour Guide was great! Highly recommend this company for your trip! - Brilliant day, started off with a coffee stop, then we stopped off in Chocohok a quaint beautiful town with wooden houses, church we then followed with a stop tasting local smoked cheese - beautiful surroundings. Our final stop was Zakopane where we explored for a few hours, views were incredible, lots to do for all the family at the top of the mountain including a mini zoo and slide! We really enjoyed the whole day in Zakopane (We didn’t do the thermal paths we opted for a shorter trip of 8 hours as we were only interested in the mountains but couldn’t find it on here!) Our guide was amazing, full of information, told us about the sleeping knight, the stalks who travel from Africa and nest pointing these out. Chatted away - Piotr was great, got involved in the tour made the trip, also very safe driver even on busy roads!

Amazing service. Amazing place! - Me and 5 of my friends travelled from Krakow to the thermal baths. Our driver Micheal was absolutely brilliant. He was friendly, and told us so much about the history of Poland through-out our journey, including the villages and thermal baths. He made us feel very welcome to the country and I couldn’t have asked for a better service. The thermal baths themselves are cheap and very enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone to visit this place!

Fantastic experience - We had an absolutely fantastic experience. Michael our driver was so careful and caring towards any needs. As our drive was 2+ hours he offered to stop at several service stations with no issue and informed us of local history and how long was left of our journey. He was also very informative of telling us where to go at the thermal baths and where to get drinks/ food. We would highly recommend this service.

Amazing Tour, Thanks Michał! - This tour was amazing! The thermal baths were very relaxing and the bath outside had a DJ and was lots of fun... the views were beautiful as you could see the mountains and the forest. The drive there was also very nice as you saw a different side to the country and it is beautiful. I would like to say thankyou to our tour guide Michał who really made our experience amazing... he was teaching us about the culture and history of the country and all about the countryside we were driving through on the way to the bathhouse. He made sure everybody was happy and enjoying the journey and he was so kind and had great conversations with us! Very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour it is worth the money and Michał made the experience even better and more fun than we had expected it to be. Dziękuję 😁😁

Zakopane Thermal Pools - Having experienced some incredible thermal pools back home in New Zealand, I was curious to see how the Zakopane Thermal Pools would measure up. While I would describe them more as heated pools rather than true thermal pools, the experience was still enjoyable. One of the highlights of Zakopane Thermal Pools is the sheer variety of pools and saunas on offer. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking to relax in warm waters or enjoy a refreshing dip in a cooler pool. The saunas were a nice touch, providing an opportunity to unwind and detox after a day of exploring. Although the thermal aspect didn’t quite match up to what I’m used to in New Zealand, the facilities were well-maintained, and the overall experience was pleasant. The pools are definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing day out in the Zakopane area. A special mention goes to my guide, who was absolutely lovely. She was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, while Zakopane's pools may not be on par with the natural hot springs back home, they still offer a worthwhile and relaxing experience.

Zakopane and Thermal baths afternoon - Piotr was our tourguide for the whole trip and it was very pleasant! He spoke English very well and gave us does and font’s along the way. Chocholowski thermal baths was a bit too crowded for us (better to go very early) and also Zakopano was full of people. I would definitely recommend Zakopane for a half a day getaway!
