Our bestselling day trip combining Croatia’s most famous national park with the charming village of Rastoke. A great choice for travelers who want nature, scenery, and a well-organized day from Zagreb.

Escape Zagreb for a full-day nature getaway to Plitvice Lakes National Park and the fairytale watermill village of Rastoke, two of Croatia’s most unforgettable sights. Choose the style that fits you best: a premium small-group tour (up to 8 guests) with pickup from selected hotels, or an essential bus group tour with a central meeting point. Either way, you’ll travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional English-speaking guide. Before Plitvice, we stop in Rastoke, a historic riverside village where traditional watermills sit above waterfalls and turquoise streams often called “Little Plitvice” for its postcard-perfect scenery. It’s the perfect place for photos, a short walk, and a relaxed start to the day.
