Summer peak (June to August)

We target 6:30 to 7:00 am pickup in Split to reach the park before late-morning crowds. Timed-entry tickets on the official Plitvice site sell out on busy July and August weekends. Park entry is confirmed before transport.

Shoulder season

7:30 to 8:30 am is often enough. Our driver still builds buffer for lunch and the return leg to Split before dark.
