Pre-booked Plitvice Lakes admission gets you onto boardwalks, buses, and lake cruises fast, with flexible self-guided time inside Croatia’s UNESCO park.
“We arrived at 11:10am for an 11am admission; the ticket is good for 55 minutes so you have ample grace time should traffic be an issue. It was a Saturday with beautiful weather! Parking can be tricky as lots do fill up. We took the C route and loved it. Skipped the boat across the lake as the line was blocks and blocks long. Lunch was very average - prewrapped sandwiches and a chicken sandwich.”
Cruise Kornati’s karst islands and swim in Telašćica’s salt lake from Zadar, with breakfast, lunch, and included park entry.
“Very beautiful trip, staff was so nice. The stops on islands were shorter but they needed to fit in 9 hours so it was not a big problem. Absolutely worth the money!”

“Aninka and Ivan were absolutely delightful. We had the most wonderful time. Our highlights were: - seeing dolphins on the way to Koranati - Aninka’s beautiful singing of Ave Maria in the church - Swimming in the gorgeous sea from the back of the boat”
9-hour Zadar to Krka day trip: guided park walk, Skradinski buk boat cruise, and Šibenik or Skradin stops.
“It was a lovely day trip to Krka National park. The bus was running a bit late due to traffic, but we still managed to have plenty of time to see the park. The guide was very nice and gave the information in good detail in three languages. The listing does need updated to let folks know that THERE IS NO SWIMMING so don’t bother with swim gear. It’s frustrating to lug it around when you can’t use it. It’s not the guide’s fault but does make the trip not 5 stars. Also I think it would be nice to shorten the time in Krka for a little more time…”

Full-day boat trip from Zadar to Kornati and Telašćica, with guided nature stops, breakfast and lunch, and swims at Mir Lake.
“We took this trip at the end of September, on a sunny day. We had two stops - 1st at the National Park Telaščica, here we had 2 hours free time for swimming and hiking 2nd stop was at the small fishing town Kukljica, here we had some 30minutes, just to walk around, have an ice cream and that's it. Almost all of the tour we were spending on a boat. It is quite windy there, so you should grab a jacket. We also had a breakfast sandwich and lunch chicken, fish and cabagge salad - this wasn't very nice meal. Anyway, trip was nice, wheather was great and you…”
10-hour Kornati tour from Zadar on Eufemija boat with 3 swim stops, guide, and lunch with wine. Park ticket extra.
“Absolutely incredible day. The tour was everything I could possibly have hoped for and more. The crew especially were the nicest group of people I’ve ever met, made me feel so welcome as a solo traveller. If you’re thinking of going on any boat trips this summer definitely book through this company, you will not regret it.”

“Amazing ride. It was nice to drive myself and the buggy is strong. We saw many interesting sites, I recommend this to anyone who can drive.”
