Tony was very accommodating and it is an experience to repeat. Comfortable and cozy boat. We were a group of 7 people and he was available for changes to the program based on our needs.
Great experience, Tony was a fantastic guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend giving this tour a try. Very relaxing and spots visited were beautiful.
Very nice organization, the parking in the marina is a lifesaver since there are always problems finding a parking place in touristic city like Zadar. The tour itself is great, just the right amount of time on every stop and the stops really are georgeus. The boat has a lot of space and the skipper is very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this tour!

An unforgettable afternoon among crystal-clear bays, snorkeling, little anecdotes, and great laughter. Toni, our skipper, is a polite, exquisite, and friendly person with whom it was wonderful to spend time. If you take a trip from Zadar, be sure to ask for him!
