Due to sea conditions we couldn't go on our original date but Petar proactively contacted me beforehand and sorted an alternative date without any fuss Our guide for the day was Marin who is such a lovely guy, so friendly and comfortable to be with. We got to see the military tunnels, snorkelled in beautiful turquoise waters at Sakarun beach, swam over the shipwrecked boat and then relaxed at Veli.Rat Lighthouse.

A 4-hour Zadar speedboat tour to Adriatic islands, with snorkeling gear, swim stops, and drinks including homemade liqueur.

“Such good value for money! Our 2 tour guides were so so lovely, we were able to use their snorkels and jump in off the boat. The trip was a lovely amount of time, we did not feel rushed at all. On our last stop we got off the boat and got some free time, this was just over an hour but we got a call from our skipper asking if we’d like to stay an extra hour which turned out to be very lovely just in time for the beautiful sunset on our ride back. 100% recommend !!”

Zadar island cruise with drinks, snorkel gear, kayaking and SUP stops in crystal coves, plus beach time near Ugljan.

“My niece (17yo) and I had such a fun time. What a beautiful experience it was cruising from island to island and taking in the gorgeous views. My favourite part was stopping and swimming in the clear water, while my niece had a go at snorkelling. We weren’t interested in the SUP and kayak but a heads up - there’s only one of each so if everyone wants to have a go, it might be a problem! But other than that, it’s a fun experience. We were lucky to share the ride with a fun group who brought music and shared snacks. There was an engine issue on the return…”
