What sets this tour apart from classic excursions is not just the route, but the combination of adrenaline, hidden locations and an authentic experience of Dugi Otok. Unlike large tourist boats, the tour takes place on a modern and fast inflatable boat that allows access to hidden coves, sea caves and military tunnels inaccessible to larger vessels. The tour is designed for smaller groups, which gives guests a more relaxed atmosphere, more time for swimming and a more personal approach throughout the day. Special emphasis is placed on the variety of experiences in one excursion — snorkeling at a sunken ship, swimming on the turquoise Sakarun beach, exploring the Golubinjka cave, an authentic lunch in Božava and an adrenaline-pumping entrance to former military submarine tunnels. During the tour, guests are also shown a lesser-known side of Dugi Otok: hidden coves, local stories, the military history of the island and places that most tourists never see.
