We can absolutely recommend a visit to Plitvice Lakes. We had a great day. Even our teenage girls enjoyed the trip. We can recommend Route G. You should allow about 5 hours for this.

A visit to Plitvice Jezera Park was one of our stops for our vacation in Croatia. Personally, I recalled a visit from several years ago, but my wife was there for the first time. Everything went great, we covered the longest route. In addition, the park's online support service, made it very easy for us to resolve an issue - positively. Recommended.

Great way to buy tickets and jump the queue. The whole experience was incredible. We hiked route c which took about 4 hours at a medium pace. Every step was breathtaking scenery. All the paths were well maintained and made it a delightful experience

We were there at 7am and walked/drove route C...as it was very early and still fresh at the beginning (start at 8.5 degrees/finish at 11:30am at 19 degrees) there were hardly any people around at the beginning. We made great progress and our daughter (10) was always well distracted. It was mega nice and a really great experience ☺️. The only important thing is to have enough food with you at this time of day, as you can only buy something later.

Pure nature. Further back in the park, which we reached on the panoramic train, it was very quiet. We also took the boat. Only the long queue is very tiring. There are also plenty of toilets in the park. Everything is very clean here. It was a great experience. We drove all the way over from Istria. It was worth it.

Plitvice Lakes Croatia is heaven on earth, amazing colours of still lakes and fresh waterfalls, fresh air and cleaness everywhere, no barbage bins, no toilets on the wooden trails, no anyone can understand the principle here. Nature is sacred and at Plitvice they know how to keep it preserved this way by not encouraging consumerism. Number one point of attraction in Croatia, my perspective.

It was a wonderful experience! The landscapes and the nature's sounds were amazing. We chose the path c and after the boat we feel a little tired but we found space to stop and fill our battery enjoying the view. The train goes to st 1 and st 2 and it's about 15 min walk more to the exit. Be careful at which stop you should get out!

The staff was super friendly and explained everything very well. They tell you which way to go depending on your time and disposition. The park is very well maintained and signposted, they have several points during the tours where you can rest and buy something if you need it. The views are spectacular, it is definitely a worthwhile experience. It is advisable to go early, as later in the afternoon there are more people and especially you will find larger groups. But without a doubt it is an unforgettable experience!

The amazing nature and the organization of bus, boat and pick up back with the bus! What was less , is the fact that you have to be on site at 6.45am to be told there that you only have a bus at 8am if you take hike H, For the rest everything okay

Just the natural beauty. The infrastructure is terrible, toilets, drinking fountains, places to eat and signs are poor or non-existent. Ill-tempered and rude staff. Nature 10, infrastructure 1.5.

Very beautiful waterfalls and lakes with fabulous landscapes! Forest tour! The signage could be more and clear bus ride time intervals were not found! Regardless, it should be a full day experience for everyone to see the silver lakes!

We were there with a small child and were recommended a relatively "short" route of about 5 km, which was totally enough. We saw such beautiful waterfalls and lakes, it was definitely worth it. And as it is also recommended not to take a baby carriage or buggy with you, you didn't have to worry that you wouldn't make it back with a child without stress.

reviewer

The Lakes & waterfalls were amazing. Such a beautiful place! Went with my sons who loved it too. How anyone could be disappointed is beyond me. I'm glad it was low season for our visit , as not so many people walking around although we still had to wait an hour for a boat so be prepared for longer wait times. We did route C & lived the hiking element that was less busy. The trees are majestic and being immersed in nature was wonderful. A great day out.

Ticket purchase went perfectly - showing it in the app was wonderful. The park is a dream - wonderful winding paths close to the water. The routes are easy to walk, depending on your level. Some sections can be covered by boat or shuttle bus. Everything is very well signposted and easy to understand. There are plenty of rest areas and toilets. An impressive experience that should not be missed.

Went on a day tour to Plitvice lakes. I am impressed how everything was PERFECTLY organised! Few days before the tour you get messages with practical information. We stayed around 5 hours in the park, took the train and the boat, walked 9km, perfect tour suitable for anyone and you see a lot. You can still walk to your own beat, the guide manage to keep in touch with everyone in the group and that the “trail instructions” are clear. Special thanks to Klara, our guide, passionated, nice and funny ! Also to mention that the bus driver drove very safely!

You should go to the national park early in the morning. Unfortunately, it gets a bit crowded from midday onwards. It's beautiful and you can go hiking

Went on a day tour to Plitvice lakes. I am impressed how everything was PERFECTLY organised! Few days before the tour you get messages with practical information. We stayed around 5 hours in the park, took the train and the boat, walked 9km, perfect tour suitable for anyone and you see a lot. You can still walk to your own beat, the guide manage to keep in touch with everyone in the group and that the “trail instructions” are clear. Special thanks to Klara, our guide, passionated, nice and funny ! Also to mention that the bus driver drove very safely!

Beautiful waterfalls. Take decent shoes, wouldn't recommend flip flops as ground can be uneven in places although a lot of the waterfall walk is via wooden boardwalk.
