What our customers ask about Plitvice Lakes Tours & Trips
- When is the best time to visit Plitvice Lakes National Park for a Lakes tour?- Plitvice Lakes National Park shines between May and September with temperatures ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F). These conditions make it perfect for walking the wooden pathways and taking boat rides on the lakes. Hotel Jezero right at the park entrance lets visitors start their day early before crowds arrive. A TourRadar traveler noted "The summer months offered perfect weather for photographing the crystal-clear lakes and enjoying the boat rides though I'd recommend arriving early to avoid peak crowds." 
- How long should I spend exploring Plitvice Lakes National Park?- Plan for a full day (6-8 hours) to see Plitvice Lakes National Park's 16 connected lakes and waterfalls. The Lower Lakes trail takes about 3 hours while the Upper Lakes needs 2-3 hours more. Hotels like Degenija or Jezero put you close to the action. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "We spent a full day exploring both the Upper and Lower Lakes sections taking the scenic boat ride across Lake Kozjak and still felt we could have stayed longer to soak in all the natural beauty." 
- What's the best way to avoid crowds at Plitvice Lakes?- Start your visit before 9 AM or after 3 PM beginning at the Upper Lakes section near Hotel Plitvice where fewer people gather. May and September offer good weather with smaller crowds. Look for quiet spots around Lake Kozjak and the Upper Lakes. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Starting our tour at 8 AM from the Upper Lakes entrance gave us peaceful trails and perfect photo opportunities before the tour buses arrived." 
- What wildlife might I see during a Lakes tour at Plitvice?- The park hosts European brown bears wolves and rare birds especially around Lake Kozjak. Clear waters make fish watching easy from the wooden boardwalks at the Lower Lakes. Guests at Hotel Degenija often spot deer at dawn. One TourRadar traveler shared: "We were amazed to spot several deer at dawn near the Upper Lakes and the crystal-clear waters made it easy to see schools of fish swimming beneath the boardwalks." 
- What photography tips do you recommend for Plitvice Lakes?- Head to Veliki Slap or the Lower Lakes canyon during early morning light when crowds are thin. Use a polarizing filter to capture the lakes' turquoise colors and bring a tripod for waterfall shots. Hotel Jezero guests can easily reach prime morning photo spots. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The early morning light at the Lower Lakes created magical conditions for photography and the viewpoints near Lake Kozjak offered stunning panoramas of the waterfalls." 
- What kind of footwear is recommended for a Plitvice Lakes tour?- Waterproof shoes with good grip work best for the wooden boardwalks and natural paths. The walkways get slippery from water spray and trails near Veliki Slap can be uneven. Many Hotel Jezero guests choose hiking boots or sturdy water-resistant sneakers. A TourRadar traveler advised: "Don't underestimate the importance of proper footwear - the wooden walkways can be slippery and you'll be walking for several hours across varying terrain."
