Easy booking, great skipper (Philipp), very relaxed atmosphere, fair pricing, great water experience. Had great fun!
We were disappointed in this boat trip. The boat that we were on was not at all the same as the boat in all the pictures that were on the booking site. It was not even similar. We made a booking for 5 people and in all honesty I do not know how 5 people were supposed to fit comfortable on this boat.
I'm giving this tour a 3/5 because the tour guide wasn't very helpful. The brought us by boat to 3 different islands, and just said to go and enjoy. He did not provide any context as to what we could really expect or where to find interesting sites on the island. He did not have water or towels on the boat. And we did not know that Croatia's beaches aren't sandy, they are small rocks and pebbles so we didn't feel like we could walk on the rocks to enjoy the water while on a particular island.
Great tour! So much fun. Beautiful site. Awesome guide. We stopped at a couple islands with amazing views and crystal clear blue water.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Driver didn’t speak English but a little google translate helped. He drove us to some great swimming spots which is exactly what we were looking for.
We loved our quiet island hopping experience. The boat was large enough for the 4 of us….6 might be tight. Evan was very flexible and really allowed us to explore! Perfect end to our vacay!
The skipper spoke excellent English and was pleasant, informative and knowledgeable. The boat was spotless and the trip was managed well and on time.
Ivan was very friendly and explained to us the details of each islands that we visited. We had a good time in the boast as well as in the beaches/exploring the islands
Our tour guide did a terrific job. There was some confusion on locations but once we figured it out he took us around and showed us a lot Zadar that we hadn't seen and have a ton of interesting information too.
Great trip. Skipper very nice. Flexible on how long to spend on each spot. Very good value for money. Makes it a private tour away from the busy beaches and provides access to beautiful waters with great snorkeling and boat jumping. Highly recommended
It was amazing, we could do whatever we liked, stay longer at an island, jump in the water from the boat etc. 100% recommend!
A lovely experience with our kids first we went across the sea from Zadar to Uglijan, the skipper recommend us to stay there for more than 1 hours enjoying the the sandy beach. Afterwards he took us to Osljak where there were many rocky beaches with crystal clear water and back to Zadar. It was a unique experience with only our family on the boat.
We had a great time on our boat tour and Island stops. Evan was a wonderful skipper and host. Be prepared with local currency, many bars, restaurants and stores only accepted Croatian Kunas.
While the scenery was gorgeous and the captain was nice, it was not exactly as advertised. Our captain did not meet us where the directions said he was going to, luckily another captain was there, and helped find ours. The booking mentioned our captain would speak English, he did not so it was difficult to figure out where we were going, and the logistics of when and where to meet him again. He also drinking while driving us and while waiting for us to come back to the boat. The experience was not terrible just not what we expected.
This was the best boat trip ever! Our skipper was super friendly and took us to 2 islands—each with their own flare. The views were beautiful and the water was gorgeous!
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you so much for your review, it's great to hear that you enjoyed it!
Best regards
The boat showed up 20 mins late. We weren’t asked where we wanted to go so he took us straight to a beach for swimming which was nice except the beach was covered in litter & plastic waste. Then we asked him to take us to some more swimming holes. He then took us to a random town that had a bit of a beach before returning us home an hour early because the weather was turning bad. The ladder on the boat was broken and half of our group had to sit at the front & half at the back to keep the boat level which seemed weird to me. I suppose this is why the experience is relatively cheap. Probably wouldn’t book it again
This was an absolutely great day trip and totally worth the money. We chose later in the afternoon and were able to catch the sunset. The tour guide was kind enough to being a fishing rod for one of us and built this into the trip. Awesome and recommended for anyone who is considering it
Everything was perfect. Nice guide with a super knowledge about the best places on the islands. We can highly recommend this tour!
Wet relaxing experience. Nice and calm sailing. Very nice day experiencing 2 islands. Our skipper was nice.
This was a very nice tour. Our skipper met us promptly and was helpful in loading and unloading the boat. We had two young children with us and he was very kind to them as well. We visited 3 islands and they were lovely—a very different experience on each one! We expected the islands to be a little more remote or uninhabited and they were not, but it was still nice. There was a scheduling issue and we had to change our tour to a different day, but the operator was very good with communication and flexible throughout the ordeal. The boat was a little smaller than expected and there were no children’s life vests (something the operator said they would purchase at a later time) but those were the only negative takeaways.
Everything was great, the islands are beautiful. You can swim and explore the places. We loved the trip! The guide was very polite.
Nice boat trip to the island, friendly staff, easy booking and payment. Could recommend it for a small group or family
The boat was very nice and our tour guide was great, but this is not an educational tour. The tour guide gave very little information on the area. We took a 30 minute boat ride to a small island where we were left to walk around. We then went to another larger island where we were left to walk around. The first island was very small and desolate. On the second island we took a short walk to a beach where we got ice cream and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We really enjoyed ourselves, but it was not exactly what we expected.
Capitán amable y dispuesto a complacer. Hizo que la experiencia fuese buena. Fuimos con niños y lo disfrutaron.
Barca molto bella, grande e stabile, area prendisole davanti. Skipper gentile, paziente è molto disponibile a rispondere alle nostre domande. Quattro ore di assoluto relax, panorami mozzafiato e tuffi in un mare cobalto!! Il tutto in un tour privato! Da ripetere!!
Nadar en estas aguas es una de las experiencias más hermosas. El viaje de Zadar a las islas es corto. Hay q planificar para poder quedarse un rato en las costas y disfrutar del relax
Perfekt mit kleinen Kindern, nicht zu lang. Nettes, kleines Boot. Die Kinder durften sogar mal kurz ans Steuer.
Reibungsloser Ablauf von der Zahlung bis zur Tour.
Absolut empfehlenswert!
Die Tour an sich war sehr schön: 2 Orte mit schönen Stränden und Natur besucht. Der Skipper war nett, allerdings war der Zustand des Bootes unmöglich: dreckig und voller Gerümpel. Wir haben noch Essenreste gesehen. Sitzen durften wir auf Gartenstühlen aus Plastik. Allgemein kann man sagen, dass auf Sauberkeit auf dem Boot keinen großen Wert gelegt wird. Der Veranstalter (croatica.eu) fand es nicht so schlimm: teilrückerstattung wurde abgelehnt ohne dass man sich irgendwie einigt. Wir buchen dort nicht mehr!
La plus petite île où nous avons été où nous étions peu nombreux et tranquille pour se baigner
On attendait de faire les îles Kornati où on ne peut pas aller facilement pour avoir une vue sur l’archipel…
