From Zagreb: Plitvice Lakes and Rastoke Day Trip with Entry Ticket
Get back to nature on a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park from Zagreb, with the park entrance ticket included so you skip the line at the gate.
Start your journey from the capital of Croatia and enjoy a relaxing ride to the wonderful village of Rastoke, where the Slunjcica River flows into the Korana over a series of small waterfalls between old watermills.
After exploring the village, continue to the beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a nature walk through the magnificent woodlands and marvel at a system of 16 terraced lakes separated by travertine barriers.
Learn how the lakes, karst rivers and streams are an ongoing process that continues to shape the landscape over time. Ride the panoramic train and the electric boat across the largest lake, walk the wooden pathways that snake around and across the water, and stand in front of the 78-meter high Large Waterfall (Veliki slap) to hear the roaring thunder of the water as it hits the ground.
Youth aged 7 to 17 book at the child rate. Children aged 0 to 6 enter the park free of charge.
A private version of this tour is available on request.
