Spend the day very actively and enjoy the trip from Krakow to the Morskie Oko lake. While about 2 hours of walking each way, you will experience the outstanding beauty of the nature in the polish Tatra mountains. Morskie Oko literally means The Eye of the Sea. It is a lake that was formed from glaciers and is situated right next to the mountains what makes the view even more magnificient. The water filled the empty space that was made because of stones. Now it is home for many animals and a place for people to explore, what also benefits their health. In Zakopane, take a trip up the mountain Gubalowka - cable car and spend the time at Krupowki street, the most popular one in the town. This journey will take 2 hours to drive each way depending on traffic. The driver may be up to 15 minutes late depending on agreed meeting location and time. It takes about 2 hours of walking to get to the Morskie Oko and another 2 hours to get back. Please wear warm and comfortable clothing.

Michał did a fantastic...
Michał did a fantastic job as our tour guide. He contacted us early to ensure we knew where to meet and what to pack. He drove us safely to the Morskie Oko trailhead and Zakopane and gave us information about the culture of the Polish Highlands. The hike was nearly ten miles round trip but the views at the top were worth it, even on a windy and cloudy day. Bring zloty if you wish to buy anything at the mountain hut by the lake as they don’t accept credit cards. We also made stops at the main shopping street in Zakopane, at a small store selling Highlander cheese, and at a small bakery for delicious pastries. I would highly recommend this tour and Michał as a guide to anyone interested in a beautiful nature getaway from Krakow.

Fantastic day trip at Morskie Oko & Zakopane
My family of 3 had a wonderful trip today with Oskar who provided us with clear information about what to do and where to go. Thank you for your patience although we ran later than the agreed upon timing. Morskie Oko was truly beautiful.

From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $263 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.
Is From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krakow?
+
On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krakow?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krakow?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour?
+
Included: Snacks; Cable car tickets to Gubalowka; Alcoholic beverages; The entrance to Morskie Oko; and Professional English speaking driver. Not included: Food and drinks; and Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 87 listed pickup locations in and around Krakow. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is From Kraków: Morskie Oko and Zakopane Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
