Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park

Maximize your time in Croatia by combining your travel day with a visit to the country’s most famous natural wonder. Our Split to Zagreb private transfer is specifically designed for travelers who want to experience the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes National Park without the hassle of public transport or multiple hotel check-ins. Your journey will begin by meeting your driver at your hotel or private accommodation address for your Split to Zagreb with Plitvice Lakes transfer. The distance between Split, Plitvice Lakes, and Zagreb is approximately 450 km, making this private service the most efficient and comfortable way to travel. The Plitvice National Park is a must-see attraction when traveling from Split to Zagreb. After exploring the lakes, you’ll continue your journey to Rastoke village (optional stop for up to 1 hour – additional 25 EUR). Often referred to as the “Small Lakes of Plitvice,” Rastoke is a picturesque watermill village where the Slunjčica river flows into the Korana. This specialized transfer and tour are available for booking throughout the year, ensuring a premium travel experience in every season.

The Upper lakes (Gornja Jezera)

If you choose to have a local guide for your Split to Zagreb with Plitvice Lakes transfer, you will meet them directly in the park. Our partners are licensed professionals with over a decade of experience, ensuring you get the most out of your visit. The first step of this guided tour is a delightful train ride around the Upper Lakes (Gornja Jezera), which consists of twelve interconnected lakes. You will witness how the lakes’ colors constantly change due to the water’s mineral composition and microorganisms, making them an evolving natural wonder. During your Split to Zagreb with Plitvice Lakes transfer, our guide will lead you through the park’s mesmerizing landscape until you reach a boat that takes you across the water to explore the stunning Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera).

Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera)

The Lower Plitvice Lakes system is located in a canyon made of permeable limestone. The highest rocks in the canyon are approximately 40 meters high. Visitors can walk down the travertine cascade between Kaluđerovac and Novakovica brod lake, which leads towards the Veliki Slap waterfall. From there, they can continue around the Lower Lakes upstream towards Kozjak Lake. The highlight of the Plitvice tour is undoubtedly the Great Waterfall (Veliki Slap), which is the tallest waterfall in Croatia.

Veliki Slap, The Great Waterfall

The Plitvice National Park boasts the highest waterfall, Veliki Slap — also known as the Great Waterfall. This majestic natural wonder is located at the very end of the park and stands 78 meters tall. The waterfall is formed as the Plitvice River falls in a single drop into the Korana River, creating a thunderous roar that you will experience firsthand during your Split to Zagreb with Plitvice Lakes transfer. During winters, the waterfall completely freezes, turning into a stunning giant ice sculpture. Whether you visit in the lush green summer or the frozen winter, this is a must-see highlight of your journey. Choosing a Split to Zagreb with Plitvice Lakes transfer ensures you don’t miss this iconic landmark while traveling between Croatia’s two largest cities.
