Der Ausflug war sehr schön und gut organisiert. Die Fahrt mit dem Reisebus war entspannt (Wifi und sehr modern). Über den Tag waren zwei längere Pausen eingeplant, die wir an nicht so überlaufen und überteuerten Plätzen machten. Unser Reiseleiter hat vor allem bei der Hinfahrt in sehr gutem Deutsch und Englisch viele Informationen über Zadar, das Hinterland des Velebit Gebirges, die Geschichte Kroatiens uvm. erzählt (Sehr informativ) Die Seen sind wunderschön und auf jeden Fall ein Muss!

I was happy with this tour from beginning to end! The booking process was really easy allowing me to select a pick up destination & giving a full itenerery of the day unlike most. We weren’t in the right spot for pick up but luckily we got a call from the agency to see where we were & the bus came to us! Big relief as we could of missed it all!! The tour guide was really good and enthusiastic about the trip. The only let down was the speed we went through certain parts of the park meant you had to take quick photos but couldn’t really take it all in. Also having group members that let the group down by not paying attention to the guide etc. Overall great experience at an amazing place!

The coach arrived exactly on time at our pick up point.There was a mixtue of English,French and German passengers.All languages were provided by the tour guides.Unfortunately there was a road accident near our destination and we were held up for over 1 hour.Our guides was very helpful and informative.We took a leasurely stroll around the lakes.It was peak season and the queue for the boat to get across the largest lower lake was horrendous.Queud for over 1 hour.This did not deter our guide to rush and he made sure we still got to see all of the lakes.They were absolutely beautiful and stunning.I would like to thank the tour guides and coach driver for thier patience and profesionalism for not letting the delays bother them.These problems were out of thier control.We arrived back to Zadar about 3 hours later than scheduled.It was a great day out and very well organised by the staff.If you like natural beauty and landscapes this is a fantastic place to visit.Once again THANKS to the staff on the coach for a brilliant day.Recomended.

The Park was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide was helpful and took the time to explain not only the places we were passing by also customs and history of Croatia that I personally found fascinating. Overall was a great experience. Gina and Dario Tomekovic-Rodriguez

The tour with Terra Travel was great. We booked a day beforehand using Happy to Visist and we got the confirmation quite fast and could still join the tour the next day. They picked us up at a hotel at 8:20 am in a big touring bus which was confortable for the longer ride. They stopped in between at a restaurant and we arrived at the park at 11:00 am. It was very busy in the park ( summer) but the guide knew how to deal with the busy summer days. He was excited to share his knowledge with us. He can speak both English and German. The park was amazing, it is a must visit if you are in Croatia. Then we defenitely recommend the tour, it is well organised and interesting for a good price.
