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.

Perfect guide, perfect trip, wonderful sunset 🌅
Niksza was the best! Very nice trip :D
The skipper Robert was super nice and we had a lovely time snorkeling and sightseeing!
The captain Kreson was really amazing, he makes my family and myself feel like a family boat trip. Besides the sunset was spectacular orange and beautiful.
A must do experience if you are in Zadar! Skipper Filip was excellent, very polite and informative - the boat was modern and very well kept. They even had sun cream in case you forgot your own, offered bottles of water and snorkeling gear/floats etc. Communication was also great in regard to meeting point, itinerary and what to expect from weather. We were also recommended to have lunch at a fishing town where swe stopped called Srdela which was fantastic, definitely worth trying if you like fish or want to try the local cuisine. All in all 10/10 experience, value for money and would recommend!
I would like to say our captain Kreso was amazing! He made sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. One of my favourite parts of my trip to Zadar, definitely recommend.
My wife and teenage daughter and I enjoyed our trip immensely! The evening tour was beautiful and Kreso was a fantastic skipper and guide. He checked in on us constantly to ensure we were enjoying our time and he navigated very choppy water expertly, and took us to a swimming location that was as calm as we could find. The highlight of the trip was the tour around Zadar Old Town including some interesting history lessons, topped off by an unrivalled view of the amazing Zadar sunset! My daughter especially loved all of the photos and selfies with this beautiful vista before us. Thank you Kreso for an amazing tour!
We took a private boat tour with our two children, and our skipper was Robert. He was very friendly, talkative, and clearly an experienced driver. Unfortunately, the weather that day was quite windy and the sea was rough, which is unusual for Croatia, so we couldn’t travel at full speed. However, that actually turned out to be a good thing, as my younger son and I were a little scared. Despite that, it was a great experience. Next time, I’ll definitely be a little less scared, thanks to Robert’s confident and professional boat handling. The tour started on time. The only thing we would have preferred was spending more time cruising and a little less time stopped at the different locations. Overall, though, we were very happy with the trip and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful adventure! Best regards, Agnieszka and Tomek
It was an amazing experience! Our skipper Robert was professional and fun, a truly kind and knowledgeable guy. The boat trip was incredibly enjoyable and the sights were beautiful, and Robert's commentary made the whole experience even better. Truly a wonderful afternoon on the White Shark!
We had an amazing tour with amazing views and vibes of the Adriatic and Zadar Old Town. Special mentions to the tour guide Kreso, who was full of knowledge and wisdom of his life experience and Zadar/Croatia itself. He was truly wonderful and accommodating to all of the guests throughout the tour. So overall, this tour was amazing for the sunset views as well as the experience with the guide, would 100% recommend to anyone planning on visiting Zadar!😊
