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

Travel from Split to Plitvice Lakes by comfortable bus, then explore Croatia’s famous waterfalls on your own time. You get a panoramic boat ride, electric train, and clear park instructions from English-speaking hosts such as Sanja, Luka, or Lovro, though park entry costs extra in cash.

“Amazing tour to Plitvice lakes from Split - can only recommend to do this with Booker. The guide Lovro aka Larry was great, too: funny and entertaining, provided a lot of insightful information and was kind and helpful as well. I did the self-guided tour. Instructions were clear and hard to miss, if you just follow them the tour will work out perfectly fine. Many thanks to Booker, Lovro and also to Marko who drove us safely to Plitvice and back (the bus was very comfortable, too).”
