Beautiful and informative trip!

My daughter and I really enjoyed. our trip. We heard all about the history of Šibenik, we saw dolphins playing and we had lunch at an amazing seafood restaurant on one of the islands. Wonderful day out.

Lovely day in Kornati islands

We had an absolute wonderful time to visit the wild and beautiful Kornati Islands. Ivan was an amazing skipper and took care so well of us. We were a small group (the four of us and a lovely couple). It was ideal to discover the rugged landscape of the islands. The waters were crystal clear and the spots well chosen. The food in the restaurant was succulent and fresh. Yes, it’s pricy, but it’s worth it. Thank you Ivan for this unforgettable experience.

On behalf of Ivan and all our team thank you for such a nice review of our small group tour to Kornati.

Fantastic boat trip!

We had an amazing time on this trip. We had a jam packed day exploring, we loved getting to see so many different islands with such a knowledgeable guide. The blue lagoon was amazing and we loved being able to snorkel too! Even an opportunity to try cliff diving! The only slight issue we had was with lunch. We couldn't find a price list for Konoba Smokvica online so decided to play it safe and bring sandwiches (it's cash only and we had no idea how expensive it might be). The rest of the tour group were eating at the restaurant, so we thought this would give us an hour or so to explore the island whilst they ate. However the boat pulls up outside the restaurant and there was no clear way to walk around to the rest of the island. We spent nearly 2 hours waiting for them to finish their meal. We'd definitely recommend just eating at the restaurant, the group that went all loved the food! Overall a wonderful experience, we would 100% recommend to anyone! Just make sure you enjoy lunch at the restaurant!

Gr8 tour to Kornati Islands

This was a fantastic tour to the Kornati Islands. Our young skipper Luka was really knowledgeable about the different places we visited. He took us to wonderful coves and bays where we swam and snorkelled in crystal clear waters. We also had a superb lunch at Konoba Smokvica. Thanks again Luka.

We're glad you had great time on our group tour thanks to our skipper. On behalf of Luka and the rest of A Tours, thank you.

Spectacular day!

I had this experience with my partner on Monday, July 17, 25. We were very lucky: skipper Ivano fantastic, nice, helpful and with the desire to tell us. We were only together with one other couple, so free to choose a bit the itinerary and the duration of the various stages. Fantastic day, wind and ideal temperatures. On board cold drinks included in the price. Also available masks, mouthpiece etc. for those who want to snorkel. Lovely places, places almost forgotten. Stra recommended!!

Cara Jessica, Grazie per tutti i complimenti. Siamo felici di avere i clienti soddisfatti con il nostro skipper e con la gita.

not what they promise, like Lojena bay for example or beautiful snorkeling spots, along with Kornati.

Kornati islands are beautiful BUT Not what this company promised, sadly. I booked this trip after a very careful evaluation. They promised beautiful Lojena and they never took us there. After I asked, the very nice guy took us to a little "out of plans" snorkeling bay place to cover up the problem. I also tipped him, he was really nice. I did notice that tourists get confused with the names of locations (like even blue caves and blue lagoon!) and so these tour operators take advantage of it, they post some beautiful snorkeling spots pictures, this one even advertised gorgeous Lojena but at the end, on this trip, especially, yes, you see the tallest cliff but you don't get to get off and see the lake behind it, like you see in the pictures.... Or just looking at the main picture of the add.... forget that, no such thing as"beautiful snorkeling blue water with lots of fish". I dud contact the operator and the answer was "it s getting way to busy at lojena so we tend to not go there anymore" I understand that fully but then you shouldn't advertise it. No? Point 2: lunch was at 2.30pm... Planned so that the restaurant can work with all the other people before a big gruop. That s fine but I think they should let people know this. Also, I fully understand it s a national park but you can't ask 31 euros for literally 2 calamari and 2 potatoes. That s insane. Point 3: we ended up spending 2 hours at the restaurant which was empty but with loads of employees.... We waited 1.20h for our food... And when you are hungry.... That s not fun and then you get such a small portion for such a big price....we came away hungry....there was a family with us, of which ordered the catch of the day fish (2 scorpion fish in this case) for 3 people cost 220 euros. Finally, not that important.... But still worth mentioning, I believe they promised a croissant with the drinks, no such thing. So you better bring snacks for sure.

Dear Mrs. Vera Chiesa Schumacher Thank you for your review. The email you have sent to us starts with: The tour was awesome and the skipper was great! You even tipped him! One thing that bothered you is why haven't you visited beautiful and popular Lojena bay? As we have explained you before, Lojena bay is very crowded in high season and we tend to visit alternative bays that are even more beautiful and offer more privacy. The idea of our trips is to go off the beaten path and ALL of our clients are very happy with that. This was clearly communicated by the skipper and you had no complaints on board. After the awesome tour with a great skipper, you applied for a refund?! After you tipped the skipper for a great job?! Our team agreed that this is not a reason for a refund and you blackmailed us with a negative review?! Then in your review you wrote about some lake behind the cliff? Croissants that were not offered?! There is no lake behind the cliff in the Kornati National Park. You were looking at some other tours that offer Telascica Nature Park. This is not us and you got it all wrong! We are trying to understand your disappointment that comes from the restaurant. The restaurant you went is Konoba Smokvica and rated as one of the best in the area. Lunch in the restaurant is OPTIONAL and there is a menu in the restaurant with all the prices that you can check before ordering. Everybody is welcome to bring their own food if are traveling on a budget. This is clearly communicated in the booking process and we never offered or advertised food on board. Croatia is not a cheap destination and Kornati Archipelago is a very remote location. Therefore prices cannot be the same as on the mainland. Dear Mrs Schumacher, we have done our best to make you happy. It is not fair to ask us for a refund because of skipping one crowded bay or your wrong order in the optional restaurant. Luckily we do not have many clients like you and 99% is very happy with the work we do. Sincerely A Tours team

Must do!

Great experience with our captain Iwan. He knows so much about the area and showed us beautiful coves where we could swim. He also took us to an awesome lunch place with fresh fish from the grill and a beautiful view. On the way back our son had a lot of fun in the tube he picked up especially for us!

Dear Jeanine, thank you very much for your nice review. We're glad you had great time on our tour thanks to our skipper.

An extraordinary day at sea

A beautiful day aboard a boat where there were 10 of us. I loved the two stops (start and end of trip) on inhabited islands outside Kornati where we could buy our picnic at the local bakery and have a terrace coffee in a village atmosphere. 4 stops in the Kornati: two islands and two lagoons. Luka our Guide was extremely friendly and wanted us all to have a great day. The landscapes are extraordinary, the water crystal clear of the Adriatic and an experience of 9 hours out of time. Stops from 45 minutes to 1 hour are enough to enjoy and make this day at sea exceptional. I recommend +++

Dear Sophie, Thank you for such a nice and detailed review. We're glad you had great time on our tour. It was a pleasure having you and your daughter on board with us.

Beautiful boat ride in Kornati

Very happy with this trip to the Kornati Islands. Luka our skipper were on time at the rendezvous and made us have a great day. We made several stops to be able to go snorkeling or a walk on an island. The scenery is beautiful. The price seems correct to me but maybe some stops would have deserved to be longer.

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis.
