About Plitvice Lakes
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia's oldest and largest national park, is a breathtaking natural wonder that draws visitors from across the globe. Established in 1949 and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, this remarkable destination showcases nature's artistry through a series of 16 interconnected lakes that cascade into one another through travertine barriers.
The park's formation is a fascinating geological story that began thousands of years ago. Water flowing over limestone and chalk deposits created natural dams, resulting in the terraced lakes we see today. This continuous process means the landscape is ever-changing, with new travertine barriers forming while others grow or dissolve over time.
The lakes themselves are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, gray, and blue. These color variations occur due to different mineral compositions and organisms in the water, along with changing light conditions throughout the day. The best time to visit depends on what you hope to experience. Spring brings abundant waterfalls with melting snow, summer offers lush greenery, autumn transforms the surrounding forests into a canvas of golden and red hues, while winter creates a magical frozen wonderland.
The park's biodiversity is equally impressive, with over 1,200 plant species, 161 bird species, and numerous mammals, including bears, wolves, and rare European lynx. While these animals typically avoid human contact, their presence highlights the park's ecological importance. Visitors can explore Plitvice Lakes via a network of wooden walkways that meander across the water, allowing for close-up views of waterfalls without disturbing the sensitive ecosystem.
Unlike many national parks worldwide, swimming is prohibited in Plitvice Lakes to preserve the delicate ecological balance and protect the travertine formations. However, the visual feast of cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes, and lush forests more than compensates for this restriction. The park's elevation ranges from 1250 to 4200 feet (380 to 1,280 meters) above sea level, creating diverse microclimates and habitats throughout the area.
From Split to Plitvice Lakes: travel tips
Planning your journey from Split to Plitvice Lakes? Here are some essential travel tips to ensure your trip goes smoothly:
Add sightseeing stops to your journey
The drive from Split to Plitvice Lakes offers numerous fascinating attractions along the way. With Daytrip, you can customize your transfer by adding stops at places like Krka National Park or the fortress town of Knin. This transforms your travel day into an enriching experience rather than just time spent getting from point A to point B. Plus, your driver will wait while you explore, eliminating the stress of finding parking or navigating unfamiliar roads.
Plan for a full-day visit
Plitvice Lakes National Park is vast, covering 296.85 square kilometers. To fully appreciate its beauty, allocate at least 6-8 hours for exploration. The park offers several hiking routes of varying lengths and difficulties, with the longest taking up to 8 hours to complete. Check the official Plitvice Lakes website for the most up-to-date information on trails and visiting conditions.
Pack the appropriate gear
Even in summer, the wooden walkways around the lakes can be slippery, so comfortable walking shoes with a good grip are essential. The weather in the park can differ significantly from coastal Split due to the elevation change, so bring layers regardless of the season. Don't forget your camera! The landscape offers countless photo opportunities as you travel through this natural wonderland!
How to get from Split to Plitvice Lakes
There are several options for your Split to Plitvice Lakes transfer, each with its own advantages. Let's explore them from most to least convenient:
Private transfer from Split to Plitvice Lakes
The most comfortable and flexible way to travel from Split to Plitvice Lakes is with a Daytrip private car service. This door-to-door transfer takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes direct, though you can extend this pleasantly by adding sightseeing stops. Your journey begins at your accommodation in Split and ends directly at your chosen location in Plitvice Lakes, eliminating the hassle of navigating public transportation.
With Daytrip, you'll travel with a professional English-speaking local driver in a clean, comfortable vehicle. Unlike public transportation, you can customize your trip with stops at attractions like Krka National Park, Trogir, or Sibenik.
Bus from Split to Plitvice Lakes
Buses are the most common public transportation option for traveling from Split to Plitvice Lakes. The journey takes approximately 3.5 to 4.5 hours, depending on the route and time of day. During peak tourist season (April to October), multiple buses operate daily, but departures become less frequent in the off-season.
Tickets typically cost between $15-$30 one way, making this an economical choice for budget travelers. However, be aware that buses will drop you at the park entrance, and you'll need to walk to your accommodation if staying nearby. You'll also need to plan your return trip carefully, as the last bus from Plitvice to Split usually departs in the early afternoon. Check the current timetables and book tickets in advance, especially during high season.
Car rental from Split to Plitvice Lakes
Renting a car gives you maximum flexibility for your trip and the freedom to explore at your own pace. The direct drive takes about 2.5-3 hours, but you'll need to factor in time for parking at Plitvice Lakes, which can be challenging during peak season.
Rental cars in Split typically start around $40-70 per day, plus fuel costs. The route is well-maintained and mostly follows the A1 highway, making it an easy drive. However, keep in mind that you'll be responsible for navigation, parking fees, and potential one-way drop-off charges if you're not returning to Split. Also, you'll miss out on the local knowledge a private driver can provide about the best spots to visit along the way.
Train from Split to Plitvice Lakes
Unfortunately, there is no direct train connection from Split to Plitvice Lakes. The Croatian railway network doesn't extend to the national park area. While you could take a train part of the way, you would then need to arrange additional transportation to reach Plitvice Lakes, making this an impractical option for most travelers.
Things to do when you get to Plitvice Lakes
Once you arrive at Plitvice Lakes after your journey from Split, here are some must-do activities to make the most of your visit:
Explore the park's walking trails
Plitvice Lakes National Park features a network of well-maintained trails that cater to all fitness levels. The park offers seven different routes, ranging from 2 to 8 hours in duration. These trails are marked with letters (A through K) and color-coded signs for easy navigation.
Route C is often recommended for first-time visitors as it provides a comprehensive 4-6 hour tour of both the Upper and Lower Lakes. For those with limited time, Route A offers a 2-3 hour walk focusing on the Lower Lakes, where some of the most impressive waterfalls are located. Check the visitor information center for up-to-date trail maps and advice on the best route for your interests and available time.
Ride the panoramic train and electric boat
To cover more ground and rest your legs, take advantage of the park's transportation system. A scenic panoramic train (actually an electric tram) connects the Upper and Lower Lakes, offering beautiful views as it traverses the park. Your entrance ticket includes unlimited rides on this train, which is especially useful for reaching distant sections of the park.
Similarly, an electric boat carries visitors across Lake Kozjak, the park's largest lake. This 20-minute boat ride is not only practical but also provides unique perspectives of the surrounding landscape that aren't visible from the walking paths. Both the train and boat operate from April through October, with reduced service in the shoulder seasons and no service during winter.
Visit Veliki Slap (Great Waterfall)
At 255 feet (78 meters) high, Veliki Slap is the tallest waterfall in the park and one of Croatia's most impressive natural features. Located in the Lower Lakes section, this thundering cascade creates a constant mist that supports unique microhabitats for plants and animals.
The best viewpoints for photographing Veliki Slap are from the trails above it, where you can capture both the waterfall and the valley beyond. Visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and harsh midday lighting. During spring and after heavy rainfall, the waterfall is at its most powerful, creating a truly awe-inspiring spectacle.
Experience the Upper Lakes section
While the Lower Lakes get more attention due to Veliki Slap, the Upper Lakes section offers a quieter, equally beautiful experience. Here, you'll find a series of smaller lakes and waterfalls surrounded by dense forests. The elevated wooden walkways take you directly over crystal-clear water, where you can observe fish swimming below and unique aquatic plants.
GalovaÄki Buk, at 80 feet (25 meters) high, is the most impressive waterfall in this section. The Upper Lakes also feature ProĆĄÄansko Lake, the highest and second-largest lake in the system. This area tends to be less crowded, especially in the early morning, offering a more serene communion with nature during your day trip to this remarkable destination.
When is the best time to visit Plitvice Lakes
The best time to visit Plitvice Lakes largely depends on your preferences and what you hope to experience during your trip from Split to this natural wonder.
Summer (June to August) brings warm temperatures ranging from 68°F to 86°F (20°C to 30°C), making it the most popular time to visit. The park's lush vegetation is in full bloom, and the longer daylight hours give you more time to explore. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher accommodation prices near the park. If you visit in summer, arrive early in the morning to enjoy some tranquility before the day trippers arrive.
Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer excellent alternatives with fewer visitors. Spring brings powerful waterfalls as snow melts, while autumn transforms the surrounding forests into a spectacular display of red, orange, and gold colors. Temperatures during these seasons range from 50°F to 68°F (10°C to 20°C), perfect for hiking the trails without overheating.
Winter (November to March) presents a completely different but equally magical experience. The frozen waterfalls and snow-covered landscapes create a winter wonderland, though some paths may be closed due to ice. Winter visits also offer the advantage of significantly reduced entrance fees and almost no crowds, allowing for a more intimate experience with nature during your travel from Split.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âWe recently booked four trips with Daytrip, utilizing 3 different drivers and a variety of vehicles. Our trips were in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina as follows: Split to Lake Plitvice (stop in Krka), Plitvice to Split, Split to Mostar (stop in Pocitelj ) and Mostar to Dubrovnik (stops in Blagaj tekija Monastery and Tvrdos Monastery for a wine tour). The drivers were all very good: on time, friendly, spoke english, gave us interesting information and were easy to communicate with via text and email for coordination. The vehicles were clean and in good condition. We investigated renting a car and found that we would not use it while in each town / island (Hvar, Split, Plitvice, Mostar, Dubrovnik). Parking was a challenge and expensive. There were less ferry options if we took the car (and more expensive).â
âThis is the second time we've used Daytrip and I'm sure it won't be the last. We enjoyed our trip very much. Scheduling was easy and as we got closer to our date it was also easy to make small changes to our itinerary. Our driver Milivoj T., picked us up on time, and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we were going to. Thanks Daytrip!â
âWe were a party of 6 used Daytrip for six point to point trips ((Zagreb to Ljubljana, Ljubljana to Plitvice Lakes National Park, Plitvice Lakes National Park to Split, Split to Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik to Sarajevo, Sarajevo to Zagreb) in the Balkans over 2 weeks. All six drivers (Dario, Ziga, Damir, Mateo, Marko, and Tomislav) and vehicles were excellent in service and quality. A couple of the drivers went beyond their standard services and offered much guidance and knowledge on the local history, geography, culture, and places of interest during the road trips. Tomislav (Bugy) was rated the best driver. Highly recommend Daytrip where such service is available in other parts of the world.â
âA few weeks ago we travelled from Plitvice to Split in a private car with Slaven Dugec.
It was a memorable trip through lovely scenery. He ensured that we were very comfortable in his Mercedes, which was immaculate. He drove well and answered all our questions about Croatia and its history. We stopped for coffee and photos at Skradin, and had lunch in Trogir. Would highly recommend this alternative to the bus.â
