Plitvice Lakes: Croatia's Unforgettable Waterfall Paradise

Beautiful national park. Lovely walk within nature. Definitely worth a visit. Suggestion is to go early to avoid the crowds.

Beautiful national park, our family enjoyed it very much. We bought tickets from Entrance 2 on the official national park website (significantly cheaper) and took the H route to see everything. We had to pay for parking upon departure. It took us about 4.5 hours in total. The park is walkable for most people. For the uphill stretches there is bus/train transportation as part of the ticket, so the walk is mostly flat and slightly downhill. We especially enjoyed the upper lakes, they were very beautiful and not as crowded as the lower lakes, which seemed to have tourist busses arriving throughout the day. Also, at this time of year the biggest waterfall did not have as much water as other times of the year. We were there on Oct 1st and the weather was cool during our visit, so I advise to bring clothes to prepare for all kinds of weather in the autumn.

Amazing National Park experience. So well organized with hiking trails, boat ride and shuttle to view different areas of the park.

Plitvice is beautiful, can't argue with that :) Just wish I had gone there maybe earlier in the morning, because it gets a little too crowded at noon.

Visiting Plitvice from Entrance 1 and taking Trails A & B was an unforgettable experience. The scenery is straight out of a fairytale—turquoise lakes, cascading waterfalls, and wooden boardwalks winding through misty forests. If you can, arrive early in the morning. The light is softer, the colors of the lakes are at their most vibrant, and you’ll enjoy a much calmer walk before the larger tour groups arrive. Trails A & B give you a fantastic first impression of the park, with iconic viewpoints and plenty of photo opportunities. Absolutely not to be missed—this is one of those rare places that truly lives up to the hype.

The experience was great. However Viators instructions on where to redeem the tickets were inaccurate and we wasted 45 minutes following they're incorrect google maps address.

Absolutely fabulous nature. Totally well taken care of for nature and for human visitors. Everything is very well signed.

The park is gorgeous, even in the rain- we had some drizzle with clouds all morning. Can’t imagine how much better it would have been if the sun was shining. That said, still an awesome experience. Walks took longer than the map said in our experience. Even with taking the C route and the boat we ended up taking the tram at entrance 3 back to parking lot 1 after walking almost 4 hours. Also note that this ticket is not really a ticket. It’s a voucher that needs to be exchanged at the office when you arrive.

It was an incredible tour. Dalibor was so knowledgeable, kind, patient. The sights are so picture perfect, you wouldn’t believe it was real ! I would recommend bringing comfy shoes, wearing workout clothes, and bringing only the bare necessities. Definitely a hat, sunscreen, water, if you are traveling in summer months. Dalibor was so patient, answered all our questions (and we had a lot), he led the tour at a pace comfortable to us, and gave us ample time for breaks in between. He went above and beyond in taking great pics for us at all the beautiful spots, and pointing out things we wouldn’t have noticed on our own, like the different plants, fruits, and context around it in the area. He also was so kind to ask us about our trip like where we are going next and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our travels. We are so thankful and appreciative of the amazing experience Dalibor provided!!

It's crowded, busy, lot's of screaming children and an overload of tourists. It gets better when you take the long walk but still busy.
