Other contenders included:
Day 1
Start off your trip with a full day of exploring the surrounding islands. This tour will take you to 5 islands, and includes the infamous Blue Cave. I highly recommend visiting in August through October. The weather will be warm enough to enjoy the ocean breeze.

Leaving
There are many transfer options to your next destination. I highly recommend using a transfer service that stops at the GORGEOUS Plitvice Lakes.
