Plitvice Lakes are a full day tour but be sure that they are the most beautiful thing in Croatia. We have 8 national parks and this is the only one protected by the UNESCO. We always like to point out that it is not a „picnic destination“ – we are not in a single spot, we are constantly walking (at least 6 km) and exploring many small and big waterfalls. After the tour we can make a stop in one of the local restaurants in the area. Contact us and let’s have a nice day together :)

Great time in Plitvice
Ivan was a terrific guide from beginning to end. I felt like I learned a lot about Croatian history during the drive to and from Plitvice. A worthwhile adventure and one I would definitely do again.

He offered accommodations whenever we would need. He encouraged us to enjoy our and not to rush He was a great conversationalist and we had a wonderful time

A full day of travel experience from Split
Leaving from Split means a 2 1/2 to 3 hr hour ride to and from Split. It is important to leave Split very early to get in front of the crowds since you will be walking on boardwalks and moving by ferries to go between the lower and upper falls. The lines can be long. Plan on lots of steps and walking. We walked 20,000 steps. A better plan would to fly into the capitol of Croatia and drive down to Split, stopping at the Lakes on the way.

Great tour of Plitvice Lakes!!!
Ivan was a tremendously friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Plitvice Lakes was an extraordinary place, and it helped to have such an experienced guide show us the way.

Wonderful experience
What a beautiful area to explore. Good exercise too! Andrea was a wonderful driver and guide. We had just the right amount of time with him and then the last portion of the hike we were on our own and met him to drive back Great conversations in the car about Croatia customs and life.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split cost?
+
Prices start at $401 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 Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 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 Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split?
+
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 Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Plitvice Lakes National park tour from Split 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.
