“Our time at the National Park started out with rain which didn’t las. It in no way detracted from the beauty of the park or the walk. Our guide, Filip, was always on hand to make sure his guests did not get lost. He was engaging, professional and ensured we had a relaxed pace and did not feel rushed. After the tour he offered tips by WhatsApp and email to ensure guests got the most out of their stay in Zadar. Thanks for a great day Filip. Elaine”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,897 reviews · 10 hours · from $57

Review of Zagreb’s Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes day tour, with park ticket, guide, transport, boat ride, walking tips, and honest value advice.

“Our guide was informative, friendly and communicated well. We had an excellent day seeing the park - it is so beautiful in autumn. The only thing was we felt a bit rushed and weren’t able to enjoy the scenery as much. We understand it was so can see as much as possible, it was just a bit of a bummer! Overall though we had a great time and would recommend this for anyone wanting to see the park but only has a day to do so!”

Zrmanja River: Half-Day Guided Kayaking Tour Near Zadar

8.Zrmanja River: Half-Day Guided Kayaking Tour Near Zadar

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,817 reviews · 5 - 7 hours · from $64

Paddle the Zrmanja River near Zadar through a canyon, rapids, waterfalls, and clear swimming spots on this family-friendly guided tour.

“We took a kayak trip for three people and I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was—highly recommend. Upon arrival, you're welcomed warmly by the hosts, who help you park and get you ready with a brief explanation of what to expect. It’s hard to say what’s more beautiful—Zrmanja or Velebit—but experiencing them from the heart of nature is indescribable. Our guides, Andrija and Julio, were excellent — they deserve all the praise because a big part of what made this experience so amazing is thanks to them. If you're in that area and want to go together, reserve a three-person kayak a day in advance. I didn’t…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,625 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $50

Review of the Krka National Park tour from Split or Trogir, with waterfalls, river views, wine tasting, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“An easy paced tour that delivered everything promised. Our guide Daira, enhanced the tour with just the right level of information and allowing plenty of time to see the spectacular falls at our own pace giving lots of photo opportunities. We elected to walk from the falls to Skradin town, where the wine tasting was being held rather than take the boat. It is a beautiful walk as well as a beautiful boat ride. We still had time to explore Skradin old town and the fortress before the wine tasting. The tasting provided a relaxed enjoyable way to finish the tour before driving back to Split. Overall a great day…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,554 reviews · from $39

Kayak beneath Dubrovnik’s walls, snorkel at Betina Cave, and see Lokrum with expert guides on a two-hour Adriatic tour.

“Jon and Ivan were great, it was a mixed group of ability, everyone was looked after. A bottle of water and all equipment we issued upon arrival, including waterproof bags and a container to accessibly store mobile phones etc. The stop at the beach and opportunity to swim and snorkel (provided), was lovely. I would recommend you bring sandles, flip floor for the water as the beach and under water is very pebbly.”

“Rastoke village is a must see!! It’s in a fairytale setting. Plitvice Lakes are so beautiful. Our guide, Dinko, did a great job and was very kind to me as I had a sore ankle and could only manage the lower lakes. My husband did the upper lakes and thoroughly enjoyed it.”
