    Back to nature

    Nice "nature day" to break up the tour of old towns and farms we had been on. Did not venture to the very bottom as parts of the paths can pose a challenge due to footing. Not the type of fall(s) we were there to see. We also visited a snack station which is a newer addition to the park. Great gelato!

    Amazing place, great guide.

    I would highly recommend this trip. Very well organised and the guide was excellent (Natalie). Bit of a walk from the agency to the coach and it was a very popular trip. After an hours travelling you arrive at the village where the park entrance is. Here you have about 75 mins to explore and maybe get something to eat. You then get on a boat to go the waterfalls, this takes about 20 mins. You then walk around. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful views and whilst it was busy it wasn’t stopping you enjoying the views. A lovely boardwalk to get back to the boat, with enough time to get a drink or buy some souvenirs. Got the boat back and then the coach back to Zadar. With regard to the guide. She kept us fully informed via a WhatsApp group. Sending us pictures to ensure we were in the right place. She was extremely friendly and very helpful always making sure that never felt lost. She seemed to have a special ability to get us on the boat despite the queues. When you travel alone it’s always good to have a friendly and helpful guide. One bit of advice book directly at the agency.

    Fabulous scenery, easy going and informative guide

    Very easy & organised booking On the day of the trip it was really easy to meet up and make the connection with the bus. The guide (Karlo) introduced himself and gave very clear instructions as well as add each of us to a WhatsApp group so there was no doubt of what the plan was for the day throughout as well as share really interesting updates as we passed places. The lakes national park itself was just stunning and we loved it and it was organised as such that you had plenty of time to enjoy the walk, see the views and get a little rest on the way round. Fabulous, thank you 👍

    Very nice but the walk was too quick and too long stops for toilet, souvenir shop, bar etc

    It was very nice, the park is awesome 🤩 but the walk was too quick to enjoy the landscape and we stopped too long several times : 1) before arriving at the park, we stopped a very long time at a restaurant. 2) inside the park, we stopped 1/2 hour. At the end, again 1/2 hour. I would prefer to walk slowlier to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful landscape of the park.

    Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.

    How much does Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zadar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Zadar is not rushed.

    Is Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 114 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zadar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED?

    +

    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 Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED?

    +

    Around 40 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 Zadar 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 Zadar and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Plitvice Lakes - Day Tour with Boat Ride - TICKETS RESERVED 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 Zadar 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 Zadar?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zadar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zadar: Luxury Island Boat Tour, Snorkeling & Unlimited Wine, Zadar Highlights: Old Town, Sea Organ & Local Tastings, From Zadar Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour with Tickets. 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 Zadar?

    +

    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 Zadar?

    +

    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.

    +

    Included: Reserved Entrance ticket for our group of travelers; Panoramic Train ride; In-vehicle air conditioning; Guide; and Panoramic Boat Ride. Not included: Entrance fee for National Park. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
