What To Expect
Guests visiting Plitvice Lakes often say they wish they could touch or even swim in the water. However, swimming inside the national park is strictly forbidden to protect this unique ecosystem.
That’s why we created this experience — to give you the best of both worlds.
On this tour, you’ll explore one of the world’s most spectacular national parks, spending around three hours discovering the stunning waterfalls, turquoise lakes, and iconic wooden paths of Plitvice Lakes National Park with your guide.
After the guided visit, we continue to a nearby natural location, just a short drive away, where a different kind of experience awaits.
Here, you’ll enjoy kayaking in crystal-clear water that looks and feels very similar to the lakes inside the park — but unlike in Plitvice, here you can fully experience it. Paddle through pristine nature, relax, swim, and even descend gentle cascades by kayak. The rapids are mild, safe, and suitable for beginners.
This tour combines the beauty of Plitvice with an active adventure, letting you not only see nature — but truly experience it.
