Natural wonders of Plitvice Lakes

Croatia boasts some of the most beautiful parklands in Europe – and Plitvice Lakes National Park is right at the top of the list. Dive into this UNESCO World Heritage Site on a full-day tour, stepping into the heart of nature with wow-factor waterfalls, lakes, and wooden walkways. You'll journey inland through the scenic Croatian hills, arriving at the heavily forested Plitvice Lakes National Park, right near the Bosnia-Herzegovina border. Inside the park, you'll have plenty of time to wander the 18km of wooden bridges and pathways snaking around the 16 crystalline lakes. They're the perfect backdrop for some killer snaps. Your knowledgeable local guide will spill all the tea on the local flora, fauna, and wildlife of the park – from deer and bears to over 120 species of birds. You might even be joined by hosts of butterflies as you walk. Explore the lakes by foot, then take a relaxing boat ride across Kozjak, the park's largest lake. And don't miss the star of the show – the jaw-dropping 78-metre-high Veliki Slap waterfall, the tallest in Croatia.
