The weather was nice and the park wasn't crowded. The power plant is something definitely worth seeing. Thank you to our guide Ivan for taking us to Trogir, the food was amazing. Also the drive was very comfortable.

The pace and distance was just right for our group. Sandra was a brilliant guide - patient but kept the pace so we were not late and the route was fantastic as we ended with a grand finale view in the lower falls!

Amazing trip. Guides were superb, really helpful and put you at ease. Views were out of this world.

It was such a nice trip! Extremely beautiful nature, lots of interesting facts from guides!

Were there 1 year ago, but I found the trip super relaxed. Very tasty
