Common questions

About this excursion.

How long is the drive from Rogoznica to Plitvice?

Approximately 2 hours 30 to 45 minutes one way for the 215 km route. We use the A1 motorway most of the way, exiting toward Plitvice. Plan for a full-day excursion (10–12 hours total round trip including time in the park).

Is a taxi cheaper or better than a coach tour to Plitvice?

For a small group a private taxi is often comparable in price to bus tour seats and far more comfortable. You set the pace, leave early to avoid crowds, choose entrance 1 or 2, and stop where you like on the way back. Coach tours run on fixed schedules with set itineraries.

Which entrance should we use?

Entrance 1 (north) starts at the Lower Lakes and is best for the iconic Great Waterfall. Entrance 2 (south) starts at the Upper Lakes and is closer to the largest lake. Most visitors enter at 1 and walk through. We can drop at either — decide based on your planned route.

Do you wait the whole day at the park?

Yes — full-day waiting is standard for this excursion. We park at the entrance and pick you up when you’re done (typically 4–6 hours later). The full-day price covers the round trip plus the wait.

What time should we leave?

Early — we recommend leaving Rogoznica by 7 AM to arrive at the park by 9:30 AM, beating the worst of the crowds. Park gates open at 7–8 AM depending on season. Returning, you’re back in Rogoznica by 7–8 PM.

How much does the Plitvice excursion cost?

We quote a fixed, all-in price for the whole day — the drive there, full-day waiting while you explore, and the drive back. The exact fare depends on the season and group size. Send your date and number of passengers via WhatsApp or the form and we’ll reply with a flat price, usually within minutes. Park entrance tickets are separate.

Does the price include park entrance?

No — the transfer covers the ride and waiting only. Plitvice Lakes entrance tickets are bought online at np-plitvicka-jezera.hr (recommended) or at the gate. Tickets vary significantly by season and you should book in advance during summer.

What vehicles do you use? Are child seats included?

Our standard vehicle is a van for up to 7-8 passengers with luggage. Child seats and booster seats are available and included in the price — let us know how many children and their ages when you book.
