Itinerary
We will meet your skipper/captain and start your journey from the Zadar Foša harbor and head to the island of Ugljan. You will be able to enjoy the scenic views towards Frnaža cove. You will also be offered your welcome drinks during this part of the tour. The journey will take about 30 minutes.
Surrounded by pine trees and calm, turquoise water, you will have time to swim, snorkel, paddle board, take pictures and unwind in total peace. A fun fact about Frnaža cove is that it’s known as one of the locals’ favorite hidden swim spots. It has smooth pebbles and rocky edges that keep the sea crystal clear — perfect for snorkeling.
Enjoy a scenic sightseeing cruise from Frnaža cove to Preko. This part of the journey will take about 20 minutes. You will have a chance to see beautiful landscape of Ugljan island.
Preko (island of Ugljan). Here you will have about 1 hour to explore the town, visit shops, enjoy the bars, restaurants and the beach. A fun fact about Preko is that it sits directly across from Zadar — and at its lowest point in history, you could actually walk across the sea to a nearby island! From here, we travel to the Island of Ošljak.
Once you get to the Island of Ošljak, you are free to explore the whole island by foot on a 2 km scenic walking path. You can also visit the Church of Saint Mary which has foundations dating back to the 6th century or visit ruins of the 19th-century lighthouse. The beaches here are quiet, intimate, and perfect for swimming or snorkeling. A perfect spot to get your last dip in the sea. Fun fact: Ošljak is considered the smallest permanently inhabited island in Croatia — and one of the smallest in the entire Adriatic Sea.
This will be the last part of the tour. Enjoy the scenic views of Zadar and its beauty as we head back to our starting location. This will take about 20 minutes.

The man was very friendly and nice. The ride was very pleasant, it was fun, and I recommend it.
Great experience with plenty to see and lots of time for each part of the trip We enjoyed the snorkelling and exploring the islands

It's great to hear the snorkeling was one of the highlights of your trip. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!
I did this for my birthday and it made the day extra special. I can say our guide made sure we left happy. we came from a cruise and our captain was accommodating because we were scared we would miss the boat. Even with that we made every stop and was given the best suggestions on what to do at every stop. There are a lot of tours but this is the best one and I'm glad we chose to go with them & I suggest you do the same
