Lowest Price Guarantee
Spend the day very actively and enjoy the trip from Krakow to the Morskie Oko lake. While about 2 hours of walking each way, you will experience the outstanding beauty of the nature in the polish Tatra mountains. Morskie Oko literally means The Eye of the Sea. It is a lake that was formed from glaciers and is situated right next to the mountains what makes the view even more magnificient. The water filled the empty space that was made because of stones. Now it is home for many animals and a place for people to explore, what also benefits their health. In Zakopane, take a trip up the mountain Gubalowka - cable car and spend the time at Krupowki street, the most popular one in the town. This journey will take 2 hours to drive each way depending on traffic. The driver may be up to 15 minutes late depending on agreed meeting location and time. It takes about 2 hours of walking to get to the Morskie Oko and another 2 hours to get back. Please wear warm and comfortable clothing.

Oskar was a fantastic guide throughout the whole day and made us feel at ease from the start. We had ample amount of time to visit Morskie Oko and take in the beautiful surroundings, we even met some friendly deer on the way. The view from Gubalowke was nice even with the bad weather. The cheese and Vodka tasting was a nice treat to end a great trip. A highly recommended tour and we will be sharing it with our friends and family. Thank you again Oskar!! 😃

We found this company on TripAdvisor and book a day tour to Moskie Oko and Zakopane. Booking online and communication with the staff via WhatsApp was easy and hassle-free. Moskie Oko is a beautiful national park, we unsure about Zakopane as we did not have much time to tour Zakopane except having our late lunch. The main reason we rate this tour as 3-star is primarily due to bad weather (rainy day) which make the hiking at Moskie Oko less than pleasant due to rain. Worse still, all the snow-capped mountains were shrouded in thick clouds and mist which we did not see the best views of Moskie Oko. Also, the funicular to the mountain top for Tatra Mountains at Zakopane was closed due to rainy weather too. The tour guide/ driver was only doing his basic duty to send us to the destinations. Having said that, he was friendly, polite and chatty, but don’t expect any extra mile service from him, such as making alternative plans so that we could enjoy the tour a bit more despite the rainy weather. We completely understand weather’s condition is beyond the tour company’s control. But we urge other traveller to double check Moskie Oko’s weather before making booking for this tour to avoid disappointment we had since the best view of this place is very much dependent on the weather. That said, the hiking and forest bathing at Moskie Oko was very nice with fresh air despite the rainy day. We saw some wild animals like deers and marmots along the hiking trails.

Jacob was a great driver and gave us lots of tips along the way. We walked the whole way but I’d I did it again I would probably use the electric bus, and then spend more time hiking at the top once we got there! Beautiful sights!

Michael was a sincere humorous and friendly guide who provided insights and had a passion for local Poland history. We were very well cared for and comfortable throughout the 12 hour journey. Will definitely like to book his services and again for any travel !

Had a fantastic tour with Matthew! He was a great driver and shared insights along the way. He did the timing well to avoid the crowds and not have us sitting in traffic all day. Answered all of our questions about Krakow in general as well as sharing information about Zakopane. Highly recommend

Michal was brilliant, giving us lots of interesting information along the route. With a comfort stop before the first main stop where he took us for cheese samples. Then onto Zakopane where he distributed the tickets and sent us a link to the bus parking place. We had 3 hours to explore and that was the right amount of time. Michal told us the best way to experience the mountain and cable car and how to get to the main town street if we wanted. Overall excellent. Thank you.
