Well organised transfer to the Plitvice Lakes National Park

The Falls are outstanding even with our late start
Kari_T
, May 2022
Had an 8:00 am start time and while by ship only docked at 8:00 am I was with the driver promptly at 8:01 am. Our van had 3 other passengers who booked from various other locations. Sadly we waited until 8:30 AM for more passengers who came from yet another company. In reality, we had more than enough time at the park and did route B, boat ride, C, and a bit of K. Our driver did not engage or speak very well English which was OK since all of us in the van spoke amongst ourselves. Also tipping of drivers is not common and with is lack of communication and poor local music choice no one felt obligated to tip.
Wonderful park

Plitvce was amazing in every way. The paths are well marked and easy to understand. The beauty of the waterfalls, seen from so many angles was a wonderland.
Our bus ride was safe and in a comfortable small bus, seating wise.
However, there were several problems that the driver could change for another group. When we arrived, he very quickly told us to meet back at that spot at 3:30 and then took off over a staircase while our group struggled to keep up and find the rest of the group. Once we arrived at our starting point, I felt disoriented and unsure of how to get back to the bus. The driver showed us the park map and made suggestions and gave us our tickets.
We had a wonderful time but had trouble knowing which bus was ours since it was unmarked and we had taken off so fast. There was some confusion about numbers since some people were in the wrong bus.
Once we left, there was no airflow and it got stiflingly hot. When I requested air, the temperature went down to 17 Celsius. Burrr. It seems like there’s a middle ground.
So to me, my issues are easily fixable and most of the trip was very good.

Worth it!

Pick up and drop off option is quite helpful.
Route B is ok in general, but you can choose a longer route D/E (I think) if you have all day as the park is open until 1830. Cafes and restrooms are available at every stop point which is really good. No need to bring food, maybe just light snacks and water if you want to stop and eat by the side of a lake (clean as you go). Boat and bus trips as available within the park, which are included in your entrance ticket price.
Really nice view and paths.
Amazing experience

This is a bus ride to and from nothing more but makes planning easy. TIP Bring headphones/earplugs because the bus driver assistant never stops talking and she is LOUD! Also no English speaking driver or assistant. The man that works at Elegance Tours is great and very helpful. Highly recommend him. The lakes were absolutely spectacular a must see experience.

Keep on walking

Thoroughly enjoyed the scenic walk. Underestimated the duration and amount of walk involved. Contacted our rep and was picjed up from station 2. Tips: Take contact number of your travel rep. Don't stop. Keep on walking. Toddlers and young kids will need help near the end. Will need extra support. Also, in October will need extra layer as it felt chilly in the morning.
The trip was very smooth,...

The trip was very smooth, back and forth. They pick us up as agreed in old town Zadar (also sent us a lot of reminders before about our preferences) and are there at the exit waiting for us on the agreed time.
No need for a guide at the park, follow the path you choose and it feels like a fairy tale surrounded by emerald lakes and falls all around you. It's a good hike, and you will get wet. Raincoat or boots are recommended, sneakers may not be enough.

Great day at plitvice lakes
Emily_B
, Sep 2021
Had a great day at plitvice lakes - beautiful place and a great day out. Multiple different routes to take which is good. We took route C as this was recommend to us. It took us around 4-5 hours to walk around and had absolutely stunning views. We booked this as a no group / guide tour but somehow ended up with both😂 (although I must say you could leave the group if you wanted to but it was nice to have the guidance as it’s such a big place). Entrance tickets were an extra 200 kuna each on top of this which we found reasonable overall for a full day out with transfer. The only thing we found that we weren’t fans of is that even at the end of September when it’s a quieter time it is still very busy & hard to walk at pace particularly around the big waterfall but this is inevitable really with it being such a big point of interest. The upper lake trails were much better and quieter which we enjoyed more. One recommendation would be to check the weather at plitvice lakes before travelling as the weather differed dramatically on our day and we had to buy hoodies from the gift shop. Travelled less that 2 hours from Zadar where it was 25 degrees to the lakes where it was 9 degrees and raining. Overall had a great day and would recommend to anyone!

A great place to visit with ELEGANCE TOUR

The most beautiful national park that I have ever visited, absolutely amazing. Really a great tour. The driver LEO was very kind and helpful. He explain to us how to do the journey very clearly so we can get back on time for the pick up. A great guy. Also the tour operator DANNY was also very kind and helpful. A very good tour, I really recommended to take ELEGANCE TOUR. Definitely worth the trip.
Easy and affordable

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
