We did the tour (by bus)... - We did the tour (by bus) and can highly recommend it! The tour guide provided information not just about the national park, but also of Zagreb, which was appreciated. The park can be very busy, but it’s well worth the visit.

A must do - Inspiring! Stunning park with dramatic landscapes, lush trees, emerald colored - yet clear - lakes and cascading waterfalls. Pathfinder tour guide was excellent: Informative, personable yet not overbearing.

Discovering Plitvice with Marin - Our guide was Marin, and he was not only an excellent guide but also our ‘Instagram husband,’ taking many photos of us in different spots. You could clearly see how much he enjoyed guiding us and answering our questions about Croatia, Zagreb, and even the neighboring countries.

A day at the park. - We had an amazing day! The small group made for a much more intimate adventure. Sasa was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable and provided so much information about the park and the country of Croatia as a whole. He also added some humor to the mix. We are so happy we spent our day doing this tour and would highly recommend you check it out!

Great tour, prepare for long day! - OMG, what a beautiful park. Totally worth the 10k hike!!! It’s a lot but very worthwhile. Marko was my guide and was extremely informative and watched over our group to make sure no one was left behind! Thank you Marko! It’s an exhausting day and full day. Bring your own lunch and snacks and plenty of water. Long day so keep fueled. Best advice I can give. When you sign up, ask for Marko, he’s the best best best! Pathfinder Zagreb is the best tour company!!!

Breathtaking - Lots of walking but worth it. 16 lakes connected by more than 90 waterfalls. The number changes due to rain and snowfall.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful experience. It was beautiful to see. The guide gave us an alternative root because my cousin had hip surgery and it would have been too much on her. She checked in the whole time we were apart and still gsve us suggestions through WhatsApp.

See if you are in good physical shape - Interesting national park. However, the falls were less impressive in September. You must be in good physical shape as it is a long walk of 12 km with a lot of elevation gain (uphill-downhill etc) and the trails are narrow and without guardrails.
