Discover the Plitvice, selected as one of the best European national parks in 2016. Spend the day in the breathtaking beauty of Croatia’s Dinaric Mountains on a 9-hour tour of Plitvice Lakes, and walk in forests and by the side of terraced lakes and waterfalls.Departing from Zadar at 8:15am, you will drive for about 1 hour and 45 minutes before reaching Plitvice National Park, home to diverse flora and fauna, including wild boar, wolves, and even bears. 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, the spectacular area consists of 16 interconnected terraced lakes, gushing over travertine rock covered in moss.

Once at the national park, begin your 4-hour guided tour, visiting Upper and Lower lakes and enjoying the unspoiled nature of one of the most beautiful national parks in the world. Although you can’t swim in the protected lakes, your guide will show you the best places to explore and relax in this paradise of natural wonders. Besides walking and sightseeing, the tour includes an electric boat ride on Kozjak lake.

On your way back, eat lunch at a restaurant outside the national park (at own expense). Return to Zadar afterward.
