Plitvice National Park full-day tour from Zadar

Granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979, Plitvice is located roughly halfway between Zagreb and Zadar. Marked on old maps as the “Devil’s Garden,” this spectacular area consists of 16 interconnected terraced lakes, gushing over travertine rock covered in moss.

Departing from Zadar at 8.15am, you will drive for 1 hour and 45 minutes before reaching Plitvice National Park, home to diverse flora and fauna, including wild boar, wolves, and even bears. Once at the national park, you will begin your 4-hour guided tour, visiting the Upper and Lower lakes and enjoying the unspoiled nature of one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. Although you will not be able to swim in these lakes, as they are protected, your guide will show you the best places to explore and relax in this paradise of natural wonders. Besides walking and sightseeing your tour includes an electric boat ride on Kozjak lake. On your journey back to Zadar you will stop at a restaurant in the Lika region. Here you can choose to have lunch and taste the local foods or stretch your legs before returining to Zadar at 6.00pm.
