Guided Speedboat Tour with Organic Food, Oil & Wine Tasting

Great tour, offered a variety of experiences. Had a lovely swim off the boat at one island. Explored another and had a wine tasting with nibbles at another. Our tour guide Evie was excellent.

Relaxed, family friendly, 15 and 17 year-old kids enjoyed the speedboat. Nice balance of structure and free time. Wine and olive oil, proprietor enthusiastic and informative. Only two families on our boat total of eight guests

The best Triip in Croatia, definatley would go again, it was a very Hot day And riding on the Speed boat was awsome 👌4 hours a svim Break , AND the oil AND Wine tasting was perfect ,

Great trip. Very accomodating. Great guides. Tasting was very nice. Boat ride was wonderful. Hot weather, a lot of walking at times but doable.

Fabulous day out would highly recommend!! beautiful speed boat add a great guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We visited three separate islands, got to swim and snorkel in the most beautiful sea. And then visit to the local farmhouse where they produce their own olive oil and wine. Amazing value for money.

Excellent trip. Two very knowledgeable guides who were very informative and good company. Meeting point was easy to find and we were met in good time.

This excursion was one of the best. From stopping to the different islands to the wine and olive oil tasting from a local, it was amazing. Josip was so gracious and polite. Loved that he told us a story of each island.

The trip was good. The coordinator who met us at the dock was prompt and engaging. Our boat driver was very hospitable and took us to a swimming cove. We then took a tour of a small island and had some free time to enjoy a bite at a cafe. After that we went to a home to try olive oil and anchovies which were produced by a small proprietor. While very interesting, it was in fact a sales pitch to purchase anchovies, wine, and olive oil, so just know that going in. It was not a hard pitch but certainly designed to drive product sales and like I said....it was interesting. We had a tight window to make it back to our cruise ship after the tour and I was grateful that Antonio ensured we were back in time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Beautiful Islands, Great Guides, But Watch the Time! We had a wonderful afternoon exploring the islands around Zadar on our speedboat tour. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with beautiful scenery, excellent guides, and plenty of opportunities to swim, explore, and learn about the local culture. The tour began right from the Zadar docks, where we met our friendly guides and headed out on a comfortable speedboat. Our first stop was the famous Sea Organ, where we learned how this incredible architectural instrument works and enjoyed listening to the magical sounds created by the waves. Next, we visited Ošljak Island, the smallest inhabited island in Croatia. This ended up being one of our favorite stops. We enjoyed walking around the island, learning about its fascinating history, seeing the old windmill ruins, local homes, and even hearing about the monks who once lived there. The crystal-clear water also made for a refreshing swim. We then continued to Galevac Island before heading to the charming village of Preko on Ugljan Island. This was another beautiful stop, with lovely medieval architecture, quaint shops, cafés, and homemade ice cream. Several of us also took advantage of another swim in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. The complimentary snorkeling equipment was a wonderful bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. The last stop was visiting a local fisherman's family, where we sampled delicious organic products, fresh seafood, excellent olive oil, and regional wine while learning about traditional preparation methods. A bot of a tourist trap, but we still enjoyed it. It was a wonderful way to experience authentic Croatian hospitality. Our guides were outstanding throughout the tour, and our boat captain did a fantastic job navigating the islands while making the ride both fun and safe. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing their beautiful region. There were only two drawbacks. The final stop required walking up a fairly long, steep street, which proved challenging for several people in our large group....my father who is 80 and my daughter who is three. If you have mobility concerns, or young ones, it's something to be aware of. The much bigger issue, however, was the timing. The tour was advertised as lasting four hours, but it ended up running almost 45 minutes longer. Since we were visiting from a cruise ship, this created an extremely stressful ending. We were literally racing back to the ship and made it aboard with almost no time to spare. The ship even called us concerned as they were about to leave. I have been on 10+ cruises and have never had this situation occur before. We even asked if the boat could please drop us closer to the cruise terminal to save time, but the guides/driver unfortunately said that wasn't possible so we had to race to find cabs back to the port and run to our ship. (We had read in previous reviews they accommodated others with this request) Fortunately, we made it—but just barely. Despite that stressful finish, we truly enjoyed the tour and would absolutely recommend it. If you're visiting by cruise ship, just keep a close eye on the time and build in a little extra cushion if possible. With better time management, this easily could have been a five-star experience. Overall, this is a beautiful way to experience the islands around Zadar, with great guides, stunning scenery, refreshing swims, and a genuine taste of Croatian island life.

Brilliant half day enjoying the islands and testing local wine and food. Absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to anyone visiting Zadar. Or skipper was fantastic. 5 stars!!
