Zagreb to Plitvice Lakes Shuttle Service

About Plitvice Lakes

Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's most visited natural attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage site — a chain of 16 crystalline lakes arranged in cascading terraces connected by over 90 waterfalls and rushing cascades. The lakes owe their extraordinary turquoise, emerald, and azure colors to the minerals and organisms in the water, creating an ever-changing palette through the seasons. Wooden boardwalks and hiking trails wind through the park, passing thundering Veliki Slap (the tallest waterfall at 78 meters), the serene Upper Lakes nestled in dolomite valleys, and the dramatic Lower Lakes with their cave systems. Electric boats cross the largest lake, Kozjak, and a panoramic shuttle connects the park's two entrances. Wildlife includes bears, wolves, and over 160 bird species in the surrounding beech and fir forests.
