    Plitvice National park tour

    The tour was very well organized so we could see the whole park. The bus was very comfortable and our guide, Mia was friendly and communicated well with the group.

    Beautiful Park

    The park is beautiful and our guide Barry was awesome very informative and knowledgeable! He had a good pace walking through the park. My reason for 4 stars vs 5 is that there was just to many in the group - it was hard to take in the beauty when you are trying to maneuver around other people, also we didn’t go closer to the lower waterfalls. I wanted to also walk along that boardwalk but people in the group complained about the walking (which like hello read what the plan is - you are walking around a national park there is going to be up hills and distance to cover) so I’m sure they would have had words about more walking to the lower lakes board walk. A smaller more experienced walking group is what we should have done. Overall though the park was beautiful and I enjoyed the experience.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty of the park and that Barry’s knowledge and guidance contributed to your experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the group size and itinerary. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving our tours. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the future. Kind regards, Šugaman Tours

    Amazing Lakes

    Even though this was a long day the bus trip went quickly it was definitely worth it, the lakes and walks ways were amazing

    Worthwhile long day?

    Long bus ride, picturesque park with beautiful views, crowded with many congested areas. Guide well-intentioned but didn’t provide any information about the area and its sites during actual time in the park. Timing for planned “lunch” made no sense. Enjoyed the day overall as our one opportunity to explore Croatia beyond the Dalmatian Coast.

    Beautiful water & walking

    There is a lot of walking, but the waterfalls are beautiful. Our tour guide Marte was knowledgeable & friendly, & he kept everyone together & on time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the stunning waterfalls despite the amount of walking involved. Marte is a fantastic guide who always strives to keep the group together and on schedule, and we’re glad his knowledge and friendly approach made a positive impact on your tour. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure soon!

    Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split 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 Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included 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 Split is not rushed.

    Is Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included?

    +

    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 Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included 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 Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included?

    +

    Around 18 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 Split 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 Split and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included 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 Split 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 Split?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. 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 Split?

    +

    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 Split?

    +

    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 Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included?

    +

    Included: English-speaking tour guide; Driver; In-vehicle air conditioning; Surcharges on fuel; and Entrance tickets. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Plitvice Lakes Tour from Split with Entrance Ticket included offered in?

    +
