★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,519 reviews · 12 hours · from $58Our pick

Travel from Split to Plitvice Lakes by comfortable bus, then explore the UNESCO-listed park on your own with a boat ride, electric train, and 4.5 hours of free time. English-speaking hosts such as Sanja, Luka, Lovro, and Antonia provide clear directions and useful commentary.

“Sanja was a great guide! She had an excellent sense of humor and really made sure we all knew where we were going and when we needed to be in certain places. I was originally worried about getting lost on the self-guided option, but her instructions were so clear it calmed me immediately. Would recommend her as a guide and this tour overall!”
