Lovely relaxing afternoon

Gillian_R, Aug 2026
Lovely way to spend an afternoon. Boat was very comfortable and clean. We loved the stop at the fishing village. Thanks to Simon for recommending the excellent Fish Restaurant. Fab swimming stops and very easy to get in and out the boat.

Fun fun day

Great trip! Loved all of it. Johnny was a great host and we enjoyed the stops to swim as well as the Aperol

Disgusting experience

Nitesh_y, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Carlo was amazing and I had a amazing time with him but before starting the trip they asked for 10 Euros extra ( which was asked on the spot before entering the boat ) the thing is that we were not even informed my the tour or Viator that this money of gonna be asked and then I needed to pay 20 euro on the spot for me and my partner and this didn't sounded me well and also they mentioned drinks gonna be unlimited and later after one drink it was like if you wanna get one more drink your need to pay 5 euros , all the tour was a scam from the beginning, I don't recommend it at all.

Inna_R, Jul 2026
It was an amazing experience! We went on this tour with our 5- and 7-year-old kids, and it was perfect, even though I was worried it might be stressful for them. Our captain told us a lot about the island and provided everything we needed. The water was unbelievable. I can highly recommend this tour!

Peter_W, Jul 2026
Great snorkeling and swimming with a bit of time on another island for lunch. Edi was a great guide and we would recommend this tour.

Too Many Onboard

Michele_S, Jul 2026
The boat was nice and newer but the trip was not for me. They squeeze 13 people into this small boat. Extremely tight and uncomfortable. If you are hoping to see fish when you snorkel you probably won’t . Just tiny bait fish. The fishing island was cute but the rest was just trying to make a tour. Our guide was nice but not informative. I suggest finding another tour ☹️

Captain Ari was great,...

Colin_J, Jul 2026
Captain Ari was great, fun and safe morning on the water. It’s a must do when visited Zadar and next to Old Town for a perfect day.

Great family excursion

Cara_I, Jul 2026
We are a family of 4 with children aged 15 and 12. We had a great excursion with our guide Ari. It was the perfect way to end our vacation in Croatia. The kids loved it! The Aperol Spritz was a nice touch. Highly recommend this tour.

Zadar island tour

Briana_A, Jul 2026
This was a very relaxing tour. We stopped at three nearby islands and were able to swim and explore the islands. We had lunch on one of the islands at a charming place by the water recommended by our boat operator.

Nice boat ride

SUSAN_W, Jun 2026
Nice boat - we were traveling with 9 people and they added 2 more to the boat which made it a little tight. Very nice guide. We stopped for swimming near a beach. He was flexible with use during the trip and allowed time for us to eat at a local seafood place.

Fun in the Croatian sun!

Stefani_T, Jun 2026
The swimming tops were nice but the highlight was the fishing village of Kali. Make sure you give yourself enough time to sit down and enjoy lunch! Our boat captain Eddie was great!

Simple adventure for family or small group of friends.

James_N, Jun 2026
This was a rather simple adventure for the price. We anchored of a small island and snorkeled for 45 min. They had some masks available for adults and kids. Our second stop was for 75 min at a small fishing town. We stopped for drinks and a cheese plate at a local bar. Third stop was another small island for 45 min. Our guide Simon was polite and told us about the local area.

Zadar boat cruise to 3 islands

Emily_G, Jun 2026
Simon was the best boat captain. It was my most favorite day of our cruise. The water and the islands we went to was amazing !

Good time!

Joe_V, Jun 2026
This was a really fun day! Comfortable boat, great guide, Simon who was knowledgeable and friendly, and had plenty of time to swim at three cool spots!

Fun and invigorating boat adventure

JeanneMarie_L, Jun 2026
Speedboat ride in the Adriatic Sea with visits to three beautiful locations and opportunity for an invigorating swim off the boat into the beautiful clear water.

Fun trip but best with your own snorkel equipment

Fernando_F, Jun 2026
Luka was a great skipper. He did his best on his own - driving the boat and serving drinks. Bring own snorkel equipment or swim goggles - I am not sure they sanitize and clean the face mask type snorkel equipment. I caught a cold after going.

Keren_A, Jun 2026
We enjoyed the views , crystal clear water even though it was super cold , our guide Simon was awesome

Do it

Ana_M, Jun 2026
Great tour with simon. Had wonderful time. Five stars. Grateful stops and guide. Just do it now you wont regret it

Adrian, captain of captains!

Beth_L, May 2026
Finding the company meeting spot can be a little confusing, there was no sign or anything. It's right in front of the Old Town gate down a few steps, look for a boat named Molo, that's them. Wait for a representative to meet you there. It was easy peasy after that. All the captains seemed good, but Adrian is the best! Definitely so in at the fish restaurant/ bar! Thanks again, Adrian. And good luck on the future!

Nice tour

Nesma_H, May 2026
Very nice tour, Edi is a great help! Highly recommended for a chill smooth island hopping in Zadar and around

Amazing tour!

Rasa_L, Apr 2026
It's a must tour when you're in Zadar! Amazing experience, wonderful views, fabulous tour guide Ari!

amazing!

Cait_o, Apr 2026
absolutely amazing experience, tour guide was so lovely and accommodating, would 100% recommend for a girls holiday or couples!!

Great tour with plenty of free time

Roy_P, Oct 2025
Good trip. Boats are modern and well kept. Take off shoes before boarding helps. Our captain, Eddy, was a cool guy and showed us where to go on the islands. Each island gives you about 45m-1h free time for a walk, drink or snack. As a group of friends, this was perect for us. Then a short boat ride with Aperol to the next stop, we loved it!

Great tour, great price and great skipper!

Trevor_C, Sep 2025
Edi brought us to all the locations and provided guidance for all of our stops. Nice guy and looked after us with drinks. We had a great time on this trip but unfortunately there were not many fish to view on the day (mainly small sprats or that type of fish). Overall it was very enjoyable. Thanks Edi!

Great time

Jennifer_H, Sep 2025
Wonderful, Ebi my boat driver was very helpful. Water was beautiful and so clear and blue. Trip was good length, bring sunscreen, sunglasses and hat.

Great!

Victor_C, Sep 2025
The boat ride and the islands we visited were absolutely beautiful. Although we were initially a bit confused about the meeting location, the tour company was excellent, sending us proactive messages through WhatsApp with all the details about the location and start time. Our skipper was friendly and attentive, doing a fantastic job, especially considering it was only his second day on the job! The spots we visited were stunning and clean, and the tour's duration was perfect, giving us enough time to explore before and after the tour and still make it back to our cruise ship.
