Plitvice Lakes National Park Small-Group Day Trip from Split

My boyfriend and I went on this trip. I feel as though you basically are just paying for the ride. We did not really get a tour out of it at all, and actually a few people from our group were lost and almost left behind. I would probably recommend just taking your own car and doing it yourselves. I do not like sitting in a van for that long, so I would have rather done a private car.

Transported on a luxury minivan with a superb guide Elena, we headed of to the lakes. A good 3 hour journey with a break halfway and Elena keeping us entertained with the history of Croatia etc. Upon arrival our small group of approx 17 was kept under the guidance of Elena as we hiked round the lakes taking in the spectacular sights and waterfalls in this National Park. A short break was taken about halfway and upon completion we were whisked to a wonderful roadside restaurant found on the return journey. An hour later, settled back on the minivan for a nap on the journey home. Tired, after lots of hiking, but a happy tired...

We traveled to the national park on a small mini bus with around 20 other people in our group, which made it easy to keep track of everyone while walking around the park. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. This is the most beautiful place I have ever been, well worth the 3 hour drive to get there, A must see if you are lucky enough to visit Croatia

The day trip was a nice excursion away from the heat of Split. Our guide was lovely and the trails were maintained

Fabulous place, great transport, excellent guide Elena The party was compact, the place we took a food break on return was exceptional

We truly enjoyed ourselves with Sugaman tour. Marina was our guide of the day and she is very knowledgeable and humourous. The tour was well organised and bus ride was comfortable. It's a long journey to Plitvice lake so pack along some food. We were not aware that lunch was after 3pm and were hungry by then. Wear comfortable shoes as the place requires lots of walking.

It may be a long day from Split, but definitely worth it! The park was unique, the water was spectacular and Petra the guide was professional, funny and had loads of great information. Before we came on the trip I was questioning whether or not we really wanted to spend 12 hrs on a long tour, but during and after the tour I couldn't imagine otherwise. You would regret not going!

Knowledgeable tour guide who was very willing to share insider info and tips on how to enhance our stay in Split. The National Park was stunning even in the rain.

The weather was not ideal for this trip. Very cold and rainy even though we went in May (May 9th). Our guide Elena made it all worthwhile. She is over 6 feet tall, easy to spot and hilarious. She even carried a couple's small child up the steepest part of our hike. What a trooper! The waterfalls are spectacular even in those conditions. The restaurant we went to afterwards was one of the best meals we had! Take her advice and order the cheese pancakes for dessert. Thank you Elena for being such a wonderful tour guide!!

Barisa was an excellent host who took the extra time to show us the park. He was entertaining and made sure all of our needs were met. I would recommend Sugarman Tours!

Plitvice lakes are out of this world. The tour was great from start to finish. Mini van was modern with chargers and AC. Tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. Definitely highly recommended from my end.

An incredible experience. In the morning we were met by our wonderful guide Alana who, despite the wet weather, made the day special. Her positive attitude along with her knowledge made for an unforgettable experience.

The trip was very good. The tour guide Barry, arranged entrace tickets (which was additional cost) . He guided us through the walk in park and showed good photo stops. He did good job on his second day as guide to this tour hahaha..

Take comfortable shoes and a good camera! This is a beautiful location and should not be missed when visiting Croatia.

Petra was an amazing tour guide! She provided lots of interesting info on the bus ride there and back. Having her take us around the park made the experience so much more enjoyable than if we had to find our way around the massive park ourselves. Highly recommend!

Amazing Tour! My family and I were picked up from hotel at 7am and taken to center of Split where we joined the rest of the group. It was beautiful seeing Split early in the morning. I would not have gotten up that early otherwise, but tour to Plitvice was totally worth it. Our tour guide(Elena) was wonderdul and very entertaining. She gave some fun facts about Croatia on our drive to the lakes and she made sure we saw all the best areas of the park. My two young kids, 3 years old and 5 months old were troopers on the tour. My 3yr old walking the whole time. Definitely need to hold hands as the paths are narrow and water or drop offs on both sides. It was Stunning and definitely made you feel adventurous!! Marko set up the tour for us and was very accommodating with the fact that two small children would be on the tour. This was definitely the highlight of our trip!
