    Getting started

    Your professional driver will pick you up directly from your address in Split. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes for a smooth journey to Plitvice Lakes. On arrival, your driver will provide practical tips before you begin your self-guided adventure.

    Walking the terraced lakes

    The experience centers on walking routes that trace 16 interconnected lakes, where mineral-rich water flows from one level to the next, shifting in color from deep turquoise to pale green depending on light and depth.

    Waterfalls at close range

    Rather than viewing cascades from afar, the paths take you directly alongside and beneath them, including Veliki Slap, allowing you to hear, feel, and photograph the waterfalls as they drop into the lower lake basin.

    Wooden walkways over water

    Narrow wooden boardwalks guide you just above the lake surface, crossing streams and channels where fish glide below, and waterfalls appear at eye level, creating constant changes in perspective.

    Forest trails & quiet sections

    Between lake systems, shaded forest trails offer quieter moments away from the water, passing through beech and pine woodland that frames the lakes and provides a slower, more reflective pace.

    A flexible pace throughout the day

    With self-guided time in the park, you can pause at viewpoints, linger along walkways, or move steadily between sections, shaping the visit around your interests rather than a fixed group schedule.

  • What to bring

    • Choose sturdy, comfortable footwear with good traction, as boardwalks and forest paths may be uneven or slick in places.

    • Carry drinking water along with sunscreen and a hat to stay comfortable during outdoor walking.

    • Dress in weather-appropriate layers, as temperatures can vary between the coast, highlands, and shaded lake areas throughout the day.

    What’s not allowed

    • Swimming, bathing, or entering the lakes is strictly prohibited.

    • Pets are not permitted, except for registered service animals.

    Accessibility

    • The experience is not fully wheelchair accessible, as most trails feature wooden walkways, steps, and uneven terrain; however, limited access is possible near some entrances and facilities with assistance.

    Additional information

    • Entry to Plitvice Lakes National Park is not included and must be purchased on-site.

    • Stay on marked paths at all times to protect the lakes and delicate travertine formations.

    • The park spans a wide area across the Upper and Lower Lakes, so plan for a full day that may include walking combined with boat or shuttle transport based on your route.
