Zadar: 3 Island Hopping Tour With Snorkeling or Sunset Swim Tour
Description
Step off the beaten path and discover the authentic soul of Dalmatia. On the islands time moves slower and traditions are still alive. Swim, snorkel, sunbathe, stroll through stone-paved alleys, sip coffee like a local, taste freshly caught fish, and soak in the peaceful sounds of nature. From the peaceful Otrić bay, to the charming village of Kali with its stone alleys and traditional vibe, and finally to the beauty of Galevac island—this tour is a blend of culture, nature, and genuine island life. We also offer Swim & Sunset Tour (2h), where guests enjoy one beautiful swimming stop on a nearby island to relax, swim, and snorkel. On the way back, the tour continues with a scenic sunset cruise around Zadar’s Old Town, offering stunning views of the city walls, waterfront, and the magical colors of the sunset. With crystal-clear waters, local flavors, and breathtaking views of Zadar’s old town from the sea, this isn’t just a tour—it’s a true experience. Jump aboard!

Itinerary
Otrić Bay, a secluded bay with a sandy seabed and crystal-clear water, surrounded by untouched nature. This peaceful bay is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply unwinding on the boat as you listen to the sounds of the sea. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
We then cruise along the coastline to Kali, one of Ugljan’s prettiest fishing villages. With its traditional stone houses, and quiet alleys, it feels like stepping back in time. Wander along the seaside promenade, grab a traditional local dish, coffee or homemade ice cream, or cool off with a swim in a nearby cove. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and full of coastal charm.
Our last stop is Galevac (Školjić), a tiny islet blanketed in pine trees. Its turquoise, shallow waters are perfect for a relaxing swim or snorkel. You can also swim ashore to explore on foot. Nestled in the center of the island is a peaceful 15th-century Franciscan monastery, surrounded by nature and silence—a true hidden sanctuary just minutes from the mainland.

Very nice time on the boat and visiting the islands. We enjoyed two swimming stops and had a stop at a village where we enjoyed good seafood. Robert was a great guide. Highly recommend
We did the half-day island hopping tour with snorkeling from Zadar and it was an absolute dream. Our skipper Kreso made the whole experience special — incredibly friendly, attentive and full of local knowledge. He took us to beautiful spots for swimming and snorkeling, and the whole tour felt relaxed and personal rather than touristy. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Zadar: just trust Kreso and enjoy the day. We'd book again in a heartbeat.
We had an incredible time on our boat trip yesterday! The entire experience was smooth, relaxing, and beautifully organized from start to finish. The views from the water were stunning, the swimming stops were fantastic, and the crew made sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable throughout the day. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable day out on the water!
Robert was amazing Amazing boat amazing captin
We did the Sunset Tour, which consisted of a boat trip to nearby waters with a snorkelling opportunity and a view of the sunset. The sunset part in particular was great, and our guide Kres̃o was really friendly and relaxed. Although they informed the day before the trip, I did not realise that there would be a €10 docking fee at the end, I would much prefer any extra charges being rolled into the original cost at the time of booking. Positive experience overall, would recommend.
Robert was amazing. Took good care of everyone. We all had a great time, fantastic views, swimming and stopped at a lovely place for some lunch. And the kids loved the speed boat!
Our boat was a no call no-show. We went down to the marina and waited and waited. I tried contacting the people so completely disappointed and would like my money back.
I highly recommend this speedboat experience to anyone looking for a memorable and beautiful time! 😌 Thank you Robert!
Wonderful experience. Robert, the skipper, was professional, very helpful and kind. He speaks perfect English. Comfortable and clean boat. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!
Excellent excursion on a lovely speedboat. Robert was an informative and friendly skipper and the snorkelling off the islands was great.
