★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 6 reviews · 10 hours · from $164Best value

3.Hiking in the Tatra Mountains and Thermal baths

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 11 hours · from $167Top rated

Spend 11 hours travelling from Kraków to the Tatra Mountains, with a sheep-cheese tasting, a three-hour walk through Kościeliska Valley and a stop at Chocholowska Thermal Baths. English-speaking guides such as Kamil, Lucaz and Tomasz have led the tour. Expect scenic paths, chain-assisted passages and three hours in pools, slides and other water attractions.

“This was a really fun and exciting day out, supported by our friendly guide Lucaz. The transport was comfy and relaxed, picking us up on time, directly from our apartment. Lucaz was led by us in terms of how much to talk on the journey, answering any questions we had. The Tatra mountains were beautiful and we walked high into the mountains using the chains and ladders to lead us up to the top. Definitely not for the faint hearted- but for people wanting excitement and beautiful views. Lucaz took lots of family photos for us to treasure our memories of the day. After a thrilling walk, we were transported…”

Tatra Mountains and Morskie Oko Hike From Krakow

4.Tatra Mountains and Morskie Oko Hike From Krakow

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · from $290

A private, guided trip from your Krakow accommodation takes you by air-conditioned vehicle to Morskie Oko in Tatra National Park. Expect a roughly 9-kilometer walk on an asphalt road, a mountain lake at 1,395 meters, and a long drive each way. The guide’s name is not provided; lunch is not included.

“NOT a trail hike as pictured... just a very long walk on an asphalt road. Take the horse drawn carriage instead and save the money...and your feet. I had been looking forward to a nature walk. This was not it. The lake is nice but underwhelming.”
