Plitvice Lakes National Park Tour with Secured Tickets, Train & Boat Ride

From the parking options right through to entry, everything was completely hassle-free. I had bought the tickets online in advance; they just scanned them at the entrance and we were good to go. Parking was reasonably priced. The national park was beautiful and everything was very accessible. There were 3 bus stops and 3 boat docks, which made it quick and easy to get to the other side of the park. We spent about 4 hours there; right at the start, we took the first bus to stop 2 and headed straight from there to stop 3. From that point on, we continued on foot. Everything is very well signposted and easy to walk. Coming from Germany, it felt a little unusual to us at first that the trails have virtually no railings. But if you aren't afraid of heights and watch your step, it's not a problem at all. In fact, it makes the whole experience much more intense, as you truly feel out in the wild. We hiked up to the viewing platform, which was a bit of a workout for inexperienced hikers like us since it sat high up on a mountain. But the effort was 100% worth it. The view was breathtaking: you could admire 4 or 5 of the 8 total lakes from up there. I can wholeheartedly recommend this park to anyone who enjoys nature. There are mountains, lakes, streams, waterfalls, and a vast forest to explore and cross. If you're lucky, you'll certainly spot some small wildlife like lizards, fish, or birds—and those were just the ones we happened to see. We brought our own snacks, so I can't speak for the food, but there was at least a small restaurant at every bus stop. It was a wonderful experience for me, and if I ever visit Croatia again, I would definitely do it all over again.

We booked an early entry time of 8am and then discovered that breakfast at our accommodation wasn't until 7.30am. We were concerned that we couldn't do both! But you get up to an hour from your scheduled entry time so all worked out well! The car park is a 5 minute walk away and you pay on exit. The charge is 1.50€ per hour. We stayed seven hours so paid 10.50€. The park is beautiful and easy to get around with lots of boardwalks to follow. We enjoyed the leisurely boat ride and were grateful for the train ride back, although it is more like a bus than a train! There is plenty to see with four trails to choose from, graded according to length and difficulty. It is well sign posted but despite that, we kept losing the trail we'd chosen. In the end we decided to just relax and enjoy what was in front of us! I was expecting spectacular waterfalls. You don't get that. There are lots of small waterfalls, lakes and trees. It was still a great day out enjoying nature and the open air. Well worth it!

As a couple visiting 28 Sept found the park beautiful, well kept and plenty of rest / toilet/ eating stations, Transport in the park well organised, Bus,train, boats easy accessible and regular, there is a fair bit of uphill and downhill, wear comfortable footwear trainers etc , late Sept nice time to visit as less busy and a little cooler, although consequence of a hot summer less water in waterfalls, but still stunning , we did H trail which we found do able in the 4-5 hrs with stops and travel on bus & boat , we are not the fittest but found it comfortable and easy going, an absolute must do if in Croatia x

1. Very clean, neat and beautiful, not any garbage left in the park or in the lake. 2. Visitors numbers control is quite impressive, which guarantee the travel visiting quality 3. Very casual and nice weather, it's easy for visitors to experience. 4. Quite convenient in-park traffic tools to use, a bit tough to climb up to ST1 for bus access. But you still privide the boat for entrance 1 erea users 5. In general, it brings visitors very comfortable and enjoyable sightseeing touring, I definitely will consider to visit the park area again and introduce it to people I know.

The plitvic lakes were absolutely stunning. Tranquil and a wonderful place. Good paths all the way around. Facilities were also good. .the boat ride was a great addition to seeing the park from a.different angle . And the coach laid on was an extra touch at the end . Ti get us back to the entrance. Thus park has so much to offer . Facilities are good . The staff are helpful friendly and the souvenir shop was well stocked. A fantastic day out and worth every penny The website was easy to navigate and book tickets etc in the friendly uptodate app accessible on the day

Entered via the North Entrance (#1) and sadly only had enough time for the short 2-3 hour (A) route. Nonetheless, it was spectacular (using the U.S.' Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Yosemite as benchmarks) leaving us hoping to return to cover the other 4-6 hours of areas. We also had a scrumptous lunch at Dengjia 15 minutes outside the park (having failed to 24 hours advance order at nearby Licka Luce for their special local featured items) of Peka roasted veal and lamb. Great Croatian wines too.
