  • 5Great day on the water

    Great communication via WhatsApp once tickets were purchased. Recommend you select the downtown area for pick up unless you are arriving to area by cruise ship. Spent a lovely 4.5 hours at three locations. The water was a bit chilly but still jumped in for a swim at the bay where we anchored. Island with walking path was a nice stop. This trip is a great value and the boat owner/operator is an excellent host for the trip.

  • 5Fantastic boat trip !

    We had a lovely time on this trip and would definitely recommend it. Our skipper Ilija and his partner were great fun and made the afternoon so enjoyable. It was nice to meet other people on the boat (7 guests in total) so that made it even more enjoyable. We made 3 stops and the last one included a restaurant stop. For us the highlight was definitely being able to swim in the beautiful clear sea ! We also loved the great music played on the boat - added so much to a perfect afternoon !

  • 5A wonderful tour

    You'll have the best time on the boat with Ilija. A very relaxed way to see the islands, swim in the sea, enjoy drinks and snacks and have a few laughs along the way. Would always recommend to anyone visiting Zadar.

  • 5Lovely 3 island tour

    Another great trip in Croatia. There were only 7 of us on the boat ( possibly room for one more) and so we were soon chatting. We were first offered beer, wine snacks. After a short journey there was a chance to swim/snorkel. Whilst I turned this opportunity down I didn’t mind relaxing and enjoying another beer. We then progressed around the other side of the island for a short break ( what was annoying was signs on the island saying tourists not welcome!). This was for about half an hour. We then called in at another island. A chance to swim from a sandy beech or have a stroll around. Our final stop was another island and a reasonably priced fish restaurant. We then came back to Zadar and if the weather had been more compliant a wonderful sunset. At some point we also were served with anchovies and olives. The person running the trip and his girlfriend were excellent hosts, checking with us that everything was ok. Their English was perfect. The atmosphere of the trip was brilliant and I would highly recommend it.

  • 5Excellent! Do this boat trip if in Zadar

    The whole trip was excellent. The hosts were extremely friendly; they offered copious snacks and drinks including anchovies, water melon, pretzels, beers, ice tea and shots. The spots were gorgeous stopping at 4 different locations (6 if you include stopping to watch the sunset and stopping Infront of the sea organ). The tour took roughly 5hrs 30 and was well worth the money, we had a wonderful time and couldn't recommend anything more. Thank you very much for making our holiday!

About Zadar

Zadar, on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, is an old Roman and Venetian town on a peninsula, known for its sea organ and the sunsets beside it.

The old town of Zadar sits on a narrow peninsula, bordered by Venetian walls and the Land Gate. The remains of a Roman forum lie beside the round church of St Donatus, a ninth-century building that is the best-known landmark. Kalelarga, the main pedestrian street, follows the line of the Roman main street, with shops and cafés, and the cathedral of St Anastasia stands nearby.

Top-ranked sights in Zadar: Sea Organ (Morske Orgulje), Zadar Roman Forum, Church of St. Donatus.
