Larry then guided us through the four hour tour of the Lakes. He provided us with lots of information about the formation and history of the area while keeping us on pace.

3.Plitvice Lakes National Park Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,355 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $78

From Split, guided Plitvice day trip with English guide, bus, electric train viewpoints and boat cruise past Veliki Slap. Tickets on arrival.

“Pluses: I've seen videos of this place and seeing it in real life didn't disappoint. Even a little rain didn't dampen our experience. Cons: it's a 2.5 hr ride in a van from Split, so if you have restless kids, it might be a challenge. I was glad that I didn't have to do the drive myself and can just relax in the van. Note: I was a little confused by the pick up point. So make sure you clarify the meeting spot in the morning, since it's quite early and could be a little stressful.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,625 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $50

Split or Trogir to Krka National Park’s Skradinski Buk, plus wine tasting in Skradin. 9-hour guided day with river cruise.

“An easy paced tour that delivered everything promised. Our guide Daira, enhanced the tour with just the right level of information and allowing plenty of time to see the spectacular falls at our own pace giving lots of photo opportunities. We elected to walk from the falls to Skradin town, where the wine tasting was being held rather than take the boat. It is a beautiful walk as well as a beautiful boat ride. We still had time to explore Skradin old town and the fortress before the wine tasting. The tasting provided a relaxed enjoyable way to finish the tour before driving back to Split. Overall a great day…”
