The park is a natural wonder to do absolutely, the guide "Sandra" was on top, organized, professional, very attentive and all that with her good humor. Plan cash in Kuna for the entrance ticket which will cost you less with the group rate and you will avoid the queue and it was the guide Sandra who offered us that and collect the money.

Great tour and very doable as a day trip from split if you don’t mind a long day (7:30 start and 19:40 return). Tour included the full upper and lower lakes (route H) and the Plitvice lakes are stunning. I didn’t do the guided part of the tour as prefer to explore solo, but the guide on the bus was really friendly and helpful to recommend best routes etc

Excellent way to spend your day among nature's wonders. We had a great guide in Vice who was very helpful, kind and energetic. The 6h (two-way) spent on the bus were definitely worth it.
