Your exploration of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Plitvice Lakes National Park, and the delightful village of Rastoke begins with a small-group van tour. Limited to just eight people, this offers a more intimate experience and greater flexibility than larger bus tours.

Your journey starts with a pickup from Zagreb, where your guide will accompany you for the day. Travel in comfort in an air-conditioned minivan through Croatia’s scenic landscapes, gaining insights into the country’s history, geography, and culture. The first stop is the historic village of Rastoke, a settlement with roots dating back to the 17th century. Discover its long-standing history of milling and its significance as a cultural and economic centre for the region. The rivers form a network of petite waterfalls and crystal clear pools that flow through the village, offering a tranquil and timeless ambiance.

Upon reaching Plitvice Lakes National Park, embark on a leisurely 8.5-kilometre (5.5-mile) stroll along scenic trails. Be captivated by the azure waters, tumbling waterfalls, and flourishing ecosystems. Enhance your visit with a calming boat ride across the lakes and a panoramic shuttle bus journey.

After experiencing nature's beauty, unwind during the two-hour drive back to Zagreb, reflecting on the memorable moments of the day.
