Explore The Waterfalls Of The Plitvace Lakes

Hidden away in the vast and mountainous area of Lika is the absolutely breath-taking Plitvice Lakes National Park.

Go on an outdoor adventure and find your inner explorer as you discover the caves, caverns and verdant forestry in almost 73,000 acres of this natural beauty. This incredible park is halfway between the coast and the capital Zagreb, and boasts 16 beautiful interconnected lakes and over 90 spectacular waterfalls.

The park is in a perfect location to visit along with a Koda Sail cruise, since it is easily accessible from where the Croatia Koda Sail cruise trips both depart and end. This means you can either visit the park for the day before in preparation for your amazing cruise, or even after your tour!

The waters at the Plitvice Lakes are world-renowned for their emerald and crystal clear blue colour that means visitors can easily see the colourful and kaleidoscopic fish that swim beneath the lake surface. A visit here will surely be one unforgettable day with ample chance for photographic opportunities. With those blue waters and green luscious forestry, there will be no photo editing filters necessary! Entry to the park also includes a magical boat ride across the main lake, which is enough to take your breath away.

If you want to see as much of the park as possible, then there are plenty of walking trails available which should take you around the prettiest areas of the park. Not only this, but if you want something a little more special, then hire yourself a small rowing boat to glide across the pristine waters. If you take yourself on a walking adventure you could even see how many waterfalls you manage to find during your visit. See for yourself how the 16 crystalline lakes tumble into each other via the beautiful waterfalls and cascades.

You can also wander across the authentic wooden footbridges and pathways which are positioned around the edges of the park, where clouds of colourful butterflies have often drifted by, making the place even more like paradise. It’s also not very unusual to spot rare bird species there, and the forests are even home to bears. It takes upwards of six hours to fully explore the lakes on foot, so taking the trip on one of the park’s free boats and buses can actually slice off two whole hours.

So, how about visiting this unique paradise before or after your Koda Sail cruise in Croatia? And after an awesome boat cruise, what better way to end your time here in Croatia than to experience what some of nature has to offer on land.The amazing Koda Sail cruise trips end at the port of Split, which is in easy access to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, so there is no excuse to miss this one out!

With Koda Sail cruises, you could spend the week cruising along the Dalmatian Coastline, and taking in the crystal blue Adriatic. Beginning in Split, the tour then set sails to show you all of the magical hidden bays and refreshing swim stops, with visits to amazing places like Dubrovnik and Makarska.

If you’re more of a party animal and music lover, then consider the Koda Beats Tour. On this tour you will not only see all of the same places along the Dalmatian Coastline, but also get extra bonus days to party in some of Croatia’s incredible music festivals!
