A tour you don't expect... Top!!!

Spectacular!! You will leave on a Speedy dinghy but you will travel safely and without getting wet (it didn't happen to us!), but above all you will see many places really up close. The dragon's eye and the swim into the sea cave have remained in my heart, unmissable! The guys from Archipelago Zadar are super great and attentive to your safety in the water, not at all a given... they are great and top tour!!

Excellent quality time 💓✨️

Filip and Karla are so dedicated guides! They cheked on us, gave advices, and made me feel just like in a big friend group! The trip totally was worth the money, because we spent from 09.00 till 18.30 on a boat exploring nearby areas. The trip was perfectly balanced, we didnt get bored at any point. There was enough of everything+good timing. Karla even went into the cave to check on people when there were big waves. It would be nice to have basic emergency kit on every boat. The beaches are pretty rocky, somebody might get a cut or other minor injury. But if you are hesitating, its totally worth to try! Even if you can not swim you will see so many picturesque scenes!

Exciting and safe boat trip to many places.

Overall a very good trip to be able to see so many places on one trip with plenty of time on each stop. I understand why we needed to pay the extra Euro 30 each to pay for the moorings of the boat. Marin our skipper was great. He explained the sites and history clearly and was to the point and didn’t talk too much. Our trip was a calm sea but the strong current around the ship wreck made it hard to swim back to the boat. But we all made it back!! Life jackets available if needed. The other stops were an experience. The beautiful beaches and delicious lunch at the restaurant we stopped at. The quaint village Bozava we stopped at the end was lovely. Another ice cream and drink stop! The group was small which made it relaxing. A really good value trip.

Exorbitant price compared to the excursion

Absolutely an exaggerated price compared to the experience. The stages for which we booked were not respected, in fact we did not even make one of the predetermined stages from 2h. I regret because the staff was courteous and the places beautiful to see but I repeat that the price seems absolutely out of place for the type of excursion. Also once we arrived at the meeting point we were told that we would have to pay another 30 euros (in addition to the 98 previously paid) for the stay on the boat, at which point my friends and I thought that to get to pay the tourist tax, we would find ourselves in a boat full of comfort; this is where we were wrong! Once we get to the pier we find ourselves in front of a rubber boat with 6 seats and a small bench behind (there were 10 of us), nothing to take away from the boat but for 130 euros each was really disappointing. I hope they can improve these aspects and especially the price because 130 euros such an excursion was not worth it. Watch out when you book.

Day trip with speedboat

Not as read in the reviews. Not suitable for older people and children. Nice tour, but with the speedboat far too little space and uncomfortable, no possibility to change. The two Guids were nice and friendly for being so young. It should be mentioned that there could be other costs here, such as eating and drinking at individual stops. Also the additional costs of 30 euros per person, should be better emphasized. This trip cost us two, now with everything about 350 euros. We were exhausted at the end of the day but satisfied. The butt hurts a little bit today. A second time we would not do this to ourselves, then better rent a boat and visit the individual places as a day trip. Croatia has a lot to offer, we thank you very much for your support.

Galloping across the sea to wonderful places

We had a wonderful day. Good timing. Always attentive tour guide. Has for all of us (family at 21 and 25. years old children) fit perfectly. You see a lot, you are as active in sports as you want and you explore small places that you would not otherwise see. We found the speedboat ride wonderful! Swimming in the cave a nice mini adventure. Snorkeling on the ship's tailcoat interesting! Very well planned day!

Highlight of the holiday

Excellent experience which was really enjoyed by our group (2 adults and 2 kids, 13 and 5). Great guides and fast modern boats, we all felt safe the whole trip. The spots chosen to see were amazing.

Great island hop, but..

We had a great trip! We like to swim and did so in 6 different spots, each more beautiful than the other. We do feel that the tour could have worked better in two ways: - The order: We visited the sunken ship and cave as the first spots early in the morning. This is probably done to avoid rush hour, but it was still busy in both places and because it was early we (and the tour guide swimming with us) were more concentrated on the cold water than the pretty cave. Given that it seems busy either way, we would have liked this more in the heat of the afternoon instead of the village. - The tour guides and skipper of our ship were really nice, but they seemed a bit inexperienced and not that enthousiastic. We only got a couple of sentences each time we arrived somewhere, and pretty much nothing on departure or at other times. All in all, It's a great experience and shows you the whole island, but bear in mind the points above :)
