Description for private tour from Split to Plitvice Lakes
Visiting Plitvice Lakes
If you’re planning a trip to Croatia, a private tour of Plitvice Lakes should be on your list of things to do. This is because there are several benefits to booking our Plitvice Lakes day trip from Split. The park was declared a National Park in 1949, making it one of the oldest parks in Europe. Our Plitvice Lakes tour starts in the morning from Split to ensure we make the most of our time and get you to the park as soon as possible. The national park has 16 lakes, which are arranged in a stepwise manner and descend into one another. The two largest lakes are Proscansko Jezero and Kozjak. At the end of the tour, we’ll take an electric boat. This tour can be booked throughout the year. The roads to the Plitvice Lakes are passable from March until the first snow of November. However, winter is also charming when the Plitvice Lakes are covered in deep ice and snow.
The Upper Lakes (Gornja Jezera)
Meet your licensed guide at the park and begin with a delightful train ride around the Upper Lakes. Your guide is a professional with over a decade of experience. With them leading the way, we’ll start our tour by exploring the twelve interconnected lakes known as the Upper Lakes (Gornja Jezera). The color of the lakes varies depending on the water’s mineral composition and the microorganisms residing in them, resulting in the Plitvice Lakes frequently changing. We’ll continue exploring the park’s captivating landscape until we arrive at the boat that will take us to the Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera).
Lower Lakes (Donja Jezera)
The Lower Plitvice Lakes system is situated in a canyon made of porous limestone, with the highest rocks reaching around 40 meters. The visitors’ path leading to the Veliki Slap waterfall and further upstream in the direction of the Kozjak Lake is formed by the travertine cascade between Kaluđerovac and Novakovica brod lake. The highlight of the Plitvice tour is the Great Waterfall (Veliki Slap), which is also the tallest waterfall in Croatia.
The Museum of Bura Wind (Optional activity)
You can enjoy a “traditional tasting menu” at your own expense while visiting the Museum of Bura Wind. Located in the heart of Zadar’s hinterland, the Gastro Museum Bura offers an unforgettable journey through the region’s history, culture, and flavors. Next to an old bauxite mine, guests can partake in a 60-minute guided tour exploring authentic local specialties. This includes delicacies such as prosciutto, pancetta, Pag cheese, wine, brandy, and liqueurs. After a light lunch, we will continue our trip towards Zadar, where we expect to arrive by 4:00 pm. The price of tasting menu is additional 55 EUR per person.
