Zadar National Park Tours

Guide to visiting the National Parks from Zadar

Zadar has a great geographical location since it enables a relatively short trips to visit three most popular Croatian national parks. It's actually very hard to make a top 4 list and decide the order since all off them are a marvel of nature, but here it is anyways :)

Regardless, we would still recommend to see all of them if your time in Zadar permits it!

1. National Park Plitvice Lakes

Plitivice Lakes is one of the most popular National Park in Croatia. It consists of 16 interconnected lakes which are arranged in cascades. It receives more then 1 million visitors each year exploring the park on long wooden pathways and bridges. It takes about 2 hours to reach the lakes by bus and you can even ride the boat across the lakes. Take a look at all the tours in offer to Plitvice Lakes from Zadar

2. Kornati Archipelago

The National Park Kornati consists of 140 islands and it's the densest archipelago in the Mediteranian sea. Apart from the stunning sea coast and panoramic views, visiting Kornati islands lets you learn some of the local traditions and mentality, such as how come that some islands in Kornati have names such as Babina Guzica (Grannies Buttocks) or Kurba Vela (Prominent Prostitute). It's also a nice opportunity to enjoy the see by boat. Take a look at all tours to Kornati islands from Zadar

3. National Park Krka

The National Park Krka is a river with lots of stunning waterfalls. It's located about 1 hour of driving south of Zadar and walking along the wooden pathways will leave you breathless. It's best visited during spring and summer to enjoy it's full splendor. The major attractions are the Skratinski buk and Roški Slap, both amazing views and photo opportunities for your profile photo. There is also possible to swim in the park unlike the Plitvice Lakes park. View all the tours to Krka National park from Zadar

On excursion: Kornati & Telašćica - Full Day Tour by Boat Fažanka from Zadar

The booking on HappyToVisit.com was easy and we could choose from many tours with different operators. We choose to pay with cash on the boat, but it is possible to pay by card when making the reservation. The meeting point was easy to find, near the bridge, on Old Town shore. The guide, Josip, was really great and friendly. He explained us everything and we hiked with him to some viewpoints on our 2 stops. The boat is nice, everyone had a place to sit even if it was a crowded boat. The schedule was followed by minute and we had time to hike, to swim and to enjoy the time. The food was great, honestly. Fish and chicken with cabbage and bread plus a glass of wine for one table (aprox. 6 person). Water and juice was free and unlimited. If you want five star cruise with fine dining food from restaurants, you can book a private yacht. You should see the price you pay and what you get. We were very happy with this tour, the places we've seen were purely amazing, Telascica lake and Kornati Islands. I also recommend HappyToVisit. Search on this site and for sure you will find a trip for you!
