Explore Plitvice Lakes at Your Own Pace

Who is this tour for?
Perfect for independent travelers who love nature, value flexibility, and prefer exploring without a guide.

If you prefer exploring nature without a fixed schedule or group pace, this private tour to Plitvice Lakes National Park offers comfort, flexibility, and freedom.
Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with pick-up and drop-off at your Zagreb accommodation. All logistics are handled — you just enjoy the journey.
On the way, we’ll visit the charming village of Rastoke, known as “Little Plitvice” for its waterfalls, wooden mills, and riverside scenery. It’s a perfect spot for a short walk and coffee before heading to the park.

At Plitvice Lakes, you’ll have 4–6 hours to explore completely on your own — no guide, no schedule, just you and nature. Don’t worry, the park’s well-marked trails make it easy to find your way, while the freedom lets you wander where curiosity takes you. Linger by a waterfall, take a thousand photos, or simply enjoy the peace — the day is entirely yours. Afterward, sink into your seat and relax on the scenic drive back to Zagreb.
