Your Private Day Trip to Plitvice Lakes
Looking for a taxi to Plitvice from Split, or a simple round-trip transfer to the lakes and back? That is exactly what I offer. I am Antonio, a local English-speaking driver, not a tour agency. I pick you up right at the door, from any Split hotel or apartment, the old town and Diocletian's Palace, the bus and train station, or directly at the cruise port and ferry terminal. I drive you to Plitvice Lakes National Park, give you the free time you need to walk the lakes at your own pace, then bring you straight back to Split. No shared groups, no guide talking over your day, no fixed schedule, just a private round-trip transfer and your day to enjoy.
In short: this is a private taxi transfer from Split to Plitvice, not a group tour. You get the car, the local driver and the round trip to the lakes and back. What you do inside the park, and for how long, is entirely up to you.

How Your Round-Trip Transfer to Plitvice Works
1. Pickup in Split
Early on the morning of your trip I meet you at your chosen address in Split: a hotel, apartment, the old town, the bus or train station, or directly at the cruise port and ferry terminal. No need to walk to a meeting point, I come to you.
2. Drive to Plitvice Lakes
The drive from Split to Plitvice is around two and a half to three hours each way on the motorway. On the way I share tips on the entrances and the best walking route for the season.
3. Free time inside the park
You get several hours to walk the wooden boardwalks, ride the electric boat and panoramic train, and take in the waterfalls at your own pace. This is a private transfer, not a guided group tour.
4. Return to Split
At the agreed time we meet back at the entrance and I drive you comfortably back to your hotel, apartment or ship in Split. Plitvice from Split is a long day, so we usually return in the evening.
Hotel, Apartment, Station & Port Pickups in Split
I offer flexible, door-to-door pickups across Split and the surrounding area, including:
- Split old town, the Riva and Diocletian's Palace hotels
- Apartments and villas across Split, Bačvice and Meje
- Split bus station and train station
- The Split cruise port and ferry terminal
- Podstrana, Stobreč and the Kaštela riviera
- Trogir and the Split airport area on the way
What You'll See at Plitvice Lakes
Plitvice is a chain of sixteen terraced lakes in every shade of turquoise and green, linked by tumbling waterfalls and kilometres of wooden boardwalks. Your park ticket includes the electric boat across the largest lake and the panoramic shuttle train, so you can cover the upper and lower lakes without backtracking.
Because I drop you at the entrance and wait, you set the pace: the short lower-lakes loop to the Veliki Slap waterfall, or a longer day taking in the quieter upper lakes. I will point you to the best route for the day and the season before you set off.
