Great half day trip with nice spots to go swimming. Very friendly skipper.
We thoroughly enjoyed this boat trip from Zadar and found the four-hour duration to be just right. It gave us enough time to see a couple of the nearby islands, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and spend plenty of time in the water without feeling rushed. One of the highlights for us was stopping to snorkel twice during the trip. The equipment provided on board was of good quality and worked really well, allowing us to make the most of the crystal-clear water. We also stopped at one of the islands for around an hour, where we enjoyed lunch at a lovely restaurant right by the sea. A special mention goes to our guide, Marin, who was excellent throughout. He spoke great English, was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer any questions we had. He also provided clear instructions and made sure everyone knew what was expected, helping the trip run smoothly from start to finish. There were only around ten people on board, which gave the experience a relaxed, personal feel rather than feeling crowded or commercial. We also appreciated that there was no loud music and no alcohol-focused atmosphere, which suited us perfectly and allowed everyone to simply enjoy being out on the water. Overall, we had a fantastic time. The combination of stunning scenery, enjoyable snorkelling stops, a great lunch break, and Marin's excellent hosting made this a memorable experience that we would happily recommend to anyone visiting Zadar.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Marin! He took us by boat to the Zadar Islands, and it ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. From the very beginning, he was so relaxed, flexible, and down-to-earth, which made the whole experience feel easy and personal. He provided snorkeling masks, made sure everyone in our family was comfortable, and was genuinely attentive without ever making things feel rushed or overly structured. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and memorable day on the water
So first of all, really pleasant contact after a overbooking mistake, nice and good advice what to do. Probs on that. Second the grip is awesome, we had the luck to spot at least 7 dolphins. The 3 stops are great, with a good lunch (not included). Just go and experience your self.
Very very good! We really liked this tour!
Excellent boat trip, good value for money! Lovely swimming spots and the boat was very modern and fast! 9 people on our trip. Free drink on the boat, tour guide was very nice.
Excellent outing with a super friendly guide who shared cold drinks and good suggestions for dining.
This was the BEST experience! We were on the boat with a mom and her two sons and it was so roomy and fun on the boat. The boat is very clean and luxury! Our tour guide/boat captain was incredible! We went to this beautiful swimming area and had a Croatian beer and soaked in the sun and blue waters. We even went to a little town and had drinks at one beach bar and then grilled sardines at this restaurant on the beach. It was a perfect way to spend the day in Croatia!
Excursion top👍🏻 The captain gave us very good tips for our stay. Highly recommended!
