Plitvice National Park & Rastoke - Private Tours from Zagreb
Overview
Private trip to Plitvice Lakes directly from your hotel!
Forget the crowds and standard tourist routes. I invite you to experience Plitvice Lakes through the eyes of a local. While others rush through the park, we will explore the quiet corners where the water tells the most beautiful stories, with enough time to take photos without people in the frame.
The national park is world famous for its 16 lakes arranged in cascades and connected by a series of waterfalls. These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. This heavily forested park hides 75 endemic plants,55 different species of orchids,160 bird species and even bears and wolfs!
On the way, you will stop at Rastoke ethno village. With its well-preserved mills and picturesque little waterfalls Rastoke Ethno village, often referred to as 'Little Plitvice', makes a great place to prepare yourself for the magnificence of Plitvice National Park.
This should be at the TOP of your list!
