➤ Our Gear: www.amazon.com/shop/stnicktravels
We took a 2 week road trip visiting all of Croatia on a family road trip! In this part two of our series, we went from to one of the countries' most famous sites, Plitvice Lakes National Park, and drove toward the coast to visit another, Krka National Park! This park is absolutely incredible with it's crystal clear waters, unique landscapes, and picturesque setting amongst the changing fall leaves.
We really enjoyed the winding boardwalks that really made us feel as though we were walking on the water. This made us consider the question, what is Croatia's best national park?

Hi, was there a lot of mosquitoes? did you have to wear bug spray?
No issues with mosquitos! We definitely didn't bring any but spray and don't remember needing it.
WE are about to go in February,
Awesome video! ❤ What a beautiful park!🤗🫶🏻Thank you for sharing. Safe travels! 🙏🏻🙌
Beautiful indeed! Thank you for the support!
Hi. Did you have access to Dreams resort next door?
Hi there! I actually do not believe there is a Dreams property in the nearby area. I think the closest one in Guanacaste is still over a 1 hour drive so I do not think there is any mutual access or anything!
Fantastic video, really enjoyed it. Best wishes from your new subscriber from Prague 💛💛💛
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
Thank you so much for this review!
Kelly needs her own channel for all those zingers
She is absolutely lovely. You chose well, my guy. 👍
9:11 re: asking for bribes, could you bring packs of cigarettes and offer those?
I would guess that would work but also not sure how cigarettes are viewed there. I think a sandwich would go just as far and likely would be successful!
Is the water too cold? I will definitely check if I can do this next April! This is really cool 🎉❤
It's cold but not super uncomfortable and DEFINITELY worth it! We went in April as well so you could expect a similar experience!
@@StNickTravels thanks for answering ❤️
Hi thanks for this video! I was thinking on hiring a tour to visit the falls but I think doing it on our own is totally possible. Do you have an idea how easy is to find taxi from the Victoria falls airport to the Zimbabwe Park entrance? Google maps says is 26 min from the airport to the Victoria Falls Bridge
Yes, definitely doable on your own!! We flew out of Victoria Falls Airport but into Livingstone. We did take a taxi to VFA and there were taxis at all of the tourist locations in Zimbabwe so you shouldn't have any issues! The park is probably 5-7 min closer to the bridge too so a bit shorter drive!
Very helpful video! I also plan to go there :) May I ask what you've roughly spent for the trip per person?
I would guess we spent around $2,250 USD per person, which was all inclusive aside from our flights to get to Uganda. The primary cost is the permits which were quite pricey!
was this all inclusive? or no.
This was NOT and all inclusive. We did have free breakfast thanks to our Marriott Platinum status though. We also rented a car to visit town for several meals.
Did you have to pre order pajamas? Flying to Cape Town with my wife in Polaris for the first time thanks for this video guys!
No you just have to ask! We did it fairly early in the flight just to make sure they didn't run out.
Great video but actually your in Puerto Morelos not Cancun. .
Yes, I was going to say the same thing!
Close enough.
Any comments on the cleanliness of the rooms and accommodations overall?
Yes, they were always cleaning and everything was in good shape! Our room was cleaned twice per day and they were very diligent about maintaining the property throughout!
Great Video
It looks like you didn't have wristbands. Were there room key cards?
Yes! They used room cards here
Great video! Jordan's a real trooper and Kyle, way to represent Vail Brewing!
Wow🎉
Hi guy's, we are planning to do oman air as well... do they give complimentary hotel stays for long lay overs over 10 hours?
Hello! They do have a complimentary hotel stay program that we looked into but we did not qualify since we did not book directly with them. They used to have a landing page for it but it is either down or perhaps the program has ended. I think it would be worth contacting them at the least!
Hi! Can you share what tour company you used?
Hi there! We used Get Your Guide for both the helicopter tour and angel falls. They were booked separately and we timed them to do both on the same day. Links included below and hope you have a wonderful trip! Helicopter Tour: gyg.me/li1FzgTx Angels Pool: gyg.me/JEtg2ElO (changes from Angel's Pool to Devil's Pool depending on the time of year and which can be swam in)
How much time did you spend on both of these tours?
@@fabiolazamora773 The helicopter ride was super quick! Upon arrival we had a 10 or so minute briefing and then took off! The ride itself is scheduled for 15 minutes and I think we were up in the air for 20. Once we landed we were back on our way! I would say no more than an hour from arrival to departure of the helicopter location.
Great video, headed there in two weeks for our anniversary. This video validated our decision to stay at this hotel.
Enjoy and happy anniversary!
Hi guy's, how safe was Addis Abba? Did you'll stay a few days?
We actually just had a layover there but have heard nothing but good things! We understand it to be a safe location to travel as long as you practice precautions you would in any large city
are these all close to the airport?
The train from the airport to the Zurich Central Train Station is only about 15 minutes. That's where this video starts and everything you saw can be completed in just a couple of hours!
No es sierto yo estuve ahi y ni siquiera podimos entrar al mar esta llenisimo de sargaso realmente no avia acceso al mar
The sargassum / seaweed always changes! It depends on a number of factors that are not consistent and up to nature. All we can really comment on is how the hotel does in managing their section of the beach.
Is room service included?
Yes, all time service is included as well!
hey united will give you a mattress pad if you ask them. I work there lol
Ah dang - we had no idea! Good reason to give it another try haha
❤❤❤
Which did you prefer / would recommend: Dreams Sapphire or Dreams Jade??
They both have some advantages but we would say Jade overall as the pools are nicer and the facilities are newer. If you have kids ages 4 and up, Sapphire has some nice waterslides that I think would provide a better time for children.
You guys are sweet❤❤ from Ethiopia
what month was this shot?
This was just recently at the end of October / early November!
Great video, it's helped me plan my trip for next april. I'm going took stay in killarney 2 nights to see the ring and the 'dingle'.😂so excited.
Thank you for the support! Glad you are able to carve out time to see both! We thought each had their own unique sites with visiting.
I loved the humor!!
Thank you!!
A lots love from Ethiopia beautiful couples .
Love it!❤ my favorite airline!!! Glad to hear you enjoyed the service!!!
It was such a great experience!
The sea surface temperature around November, December and January would be nearer 11 Celsius rather than 8 Celsius. Rarely does the Atlantic sea temperature drop below 10 Celsius off the southwest coast of Ireland.
But I think the guy is gay as well. Very strange couple.
Great video guys. One question, the train/railroad you took is free or it comes with the ski passes?
Thank you so much! It comes with the ski passes actually. It is possible to purchase the train pass separately though as well!
The westbound flights out of Addis Abbaba to North America need to make a fuel stop for two reasons. One, is that ADD is a high altitude airport and the air is less dense. Therefore aircraft must use more runway to become airborne and they cannot take a full load of fuel because the weight of a plane fully loaded with fuel cannot become airborne at that air density. And two, when flying westbound, you are flying against the jetstream and it’s a longer flight time and consumes more fuel. So the flights to North America from ADD must stop in Europe to refuel. The Eastbound flights on the same route can complete the journey nonstop because they are not flying from high altitude airports and they are flying with the jetstream, not against it. I have flown Ethiopian often in my African travels and they have become a favorite airline of mine. Glad you had a nice flight
Oh that makes sense! We had not considered the elevation as a factor. Thanks for following up!
Brilliant video, Zermatt looks beautiful, and an extra like for the Pixel phone 👍
Thank you! Haha pixel gang!!
Fantastic Tripreport 🤩 Such a unique experience compared to everything you are used to in Europe.
man that looks awesome. going on a family trip and i cant seem to understand the lifts? If we buy the ski pass, were able to ski, but how do we get to the top? i understand the train but do we have to get tickets for the train or does that come with the ski pass? thanks guys awesome video
Thank you for the support! Yes, it was an amazing ski spot. So all of the lifts you saw us go on were included in the ski pass - the trains, gondolas, lifts, and funicular. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Welcome Jordan!! 💙
Superb… and really helpful. Respect 👍
Appreciate the kind words!
Why St Nick? How about ST Kyle travel lol
Haha it's because our last name is St. Nicholas!
hey guys, we have an upcoming trip to this resort Dec 16. Just came across this video and it was so helpful. I think I heard in the video you guys are from Austin.. so are we 🤗
Glad it was helpful and appreciate the support! We're sure you all will have an amazing trip. It's a lovely resort with a ton to do! Yes, we are Austinites as well!
Beautiful flight review. The inflight service looks top notch. You should have tried the Ethiopian cuisine, Ethiopian Airlines offers both Ethiopian and international dish in business class aka cloud 9.
Thank you for the support! Staff was certainly amazing. Yes, we definitely need to be more adventurous on the food choice next time for sure!
What's the difference between JAL Business class and first class?
JAL first is a much bigger seat that is more of a small suite, equivalent to both of our seats combined. They do have elevated food and drink options as well. If that's an option for you, first is the way to go!
Is zilara a family resort?
No Zilara is adults only but it has a sister property, Ziva, that is for families!
