Zadar: Small Group Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling
Description
Explore the beautiful islands near Zadar on a relaxed small-group boat tour designed for guests who want to avoid crowded boats and enjoy a more personal experience. Our tours operate with either our traditional boat or premium speedboat, depending on weather conditions, availability, and group size. Regardless of the boat, we always focus on comfort, atmosphere, and enough space on board to truly relax and enjoy the Adriatic Sea. During the summer season, the tour is mainly focused on swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in crystal-clear water and hidden bays. We provide snorkeling equipment, cold drinks, bottled water, ice tea, and homemade local liqueurs on board. In April and May, when the sea is still cooler, the experience is more focused on exploring the islands, nature, and authentic island villages. Depending on sea conditions, we usually visit islands such as Ošljak and Ugljan, with several stops for swimming, sightseeing, or relaxing by the sea. €10 docking fee persron

A unique and very fun experience to enjoy with friends.
A truly memorable afternoon for our whole family. The wonderful skippers, Sara and Josip, were warm, friendly and knowledgeable and they became our friends as the afternoon progressed. Such interesting stories about Zadar history and introductions to local food. Some of the best fish we have ever eaten on the island of Ugljan. Great snorkelling in the beautiful clear sea. Unforgettable sunset on the longest day of the year. Thank you Tomislav for an amazing experience!
Top experience. Fine swimming and snorkeling spots. Captain was also very friendly and because the group is small, it is also very pleasant.
Excellent experience. We booked a private tour for 4. Duration 4 hours. Very nice organizer. Nice little boat with sun protection. Drinks included (water, iced tea, and beers). 2 beautiful spots for snorkeling and 1 stop in a small village to use the restroom and have a coffee. We had to travel about 35 km in total. It's simple, but we saw beautiful things (underwater and above water), which is what we wanted.
Fabulous afternoon, the owners brother in law took us out on the trip, he was a coastguard from Split so in good hands. A lovely guy, very friendly and involved with the group. We had an amazing time and would recommend to anyone, especially if they like limoncello 🤣. Thank you so much for a great time!
Everything was super organized, big praise to Sara. Sufficient drinking water, life jackets, and swimming aids for children are available.
We had an absolutely fantastic private boat trip! Everything went great and clear instructions and quick answers before booking. Several stops for snorkeling in absolutely wonderful coves! Incredibly nice as a private group to go with your own boat and captain. Very affordable and we all thought it was the highlight of the week!
Was a great experience, very friendly guides and informative at each stop. Absolutely beautiful islands and just as described and seen in pictures!
I had a wonderful day exploring the islands by speedboat. My skipper, Sara, was friendly and welcoming from start to finish, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. With only six people on board, there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy the stunning crystal-clear water. The snorkeling was a highlight—I saw lots of fish, both small and large. A lovely bonus was tasting Sara’s family’s homemade limoncello, which was absolutely delicious! A fantastic way to spend the day as a solo traveler. I would definitely recommend this trip and would happily do it again.
Relaxed afternoon, snorkelling, drinking and eating excellent fresh fish. I have seen some reviews saying there wasn't much to do at the stopping points - I have no idea what they are on about. First stop was a beautiful bay with 50mins swimming and snorkelling in the clear water and amongst the fish. Next stop 30mins at a bar for a beer. Next stop for just over an hour at a restaurant with the freshest fish ("these were swimming around this morning") And drinks before heading home. The two crew members were laid back, informative, welcoming and the boat immaculately clean and sea-worthy. There were only 6 on the tour so nice and relaxed. Thoroughly recommend (unless you want to go with a bunch of shouty, drunk morons of course)
