Croatia was so memorable and this was the best ending to our trip. Our guide was Matej (sorry if I misspelled) and he was great! We loved the 3 stops and were able to get in and out of the beautiful water, or shop/eat. We loved it!

It was perfect, Matej was so kind and explained us everything. He gave us some drinks and a beautiful experience. The tour is very complete and the duration was perfect. It's a mix of swimming and exploring islands. It's really worth it!

We had a great 4 hour speed boat trip today, our captain, Enzo, was brilliant and really looked after us! We island hopped and snorkelled and explored. Highly recommend 👌🏼

Really enjoyed this boat tour. Mario was great, sharing his knowledge and giving us a chance to relax and explore at our pace.
The islands are lovely and it’s a great scenery for a good swim or hike. Would totally recommend!
Claudine_D, Jun 2026
Mario was super cool and nice. We really enjoyed the boat ride! Highly recommend! We are just few people in the boat which makes it really fun because it was not too crowded.

This is a really fun, relaxing day if you enjoy being on a speedboat, swimming freely, walking through nature, and visiting a small town (Preko)! We really enjoyed our day with Tony as our skipper. He had a great playlist, he made sure we got everywhere on time, and he was so chill it was hard not to be relaxed!
Marivaine_P, Jun 2026
Great experience. Enzo our skipper was very nice, very friendly and accommodating. My family and I really enjoyed the experience. It was a great way to see the small islands around Zadar.

We had an amazing speedboat tour in Zadar and I can’t recommend it enough, especially for anyone visiting on a cruise ship. Our captain, Matej, was wonderful—friendly, professional, and made the entire experience feel effortless and relaxing.
The tour stayed strictly on schedule, which was incredibly important for us since we had to return to our cruise ship. There was absolutely no stress. Taxis were readily available at the meeting point afterward, making it easy to get back to port on time.
The water was crystal clear and beautiful, and the beaches we visited were peaceful and relaxing. The snorkel gear was clean and available whenever we wanted to use it, which made exploring the water even more enjoyable.
Overall, this was the perfect beach and water day—well organized, stress-free, and one of our favorite experiences in Croatia. Thank you, Matej, for such a fantastic day!

We had an excellent time on the Zadar Original Island-Hopping Speedboat Tour. Matej was a fantastic boat driver and host, friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. He did a great job navigating the boat and ensuring we had a fun and safe experience.
The locations we visited were beautiful, with clear water that was perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Each stop offered something unique, and the scenery was absolutely stunning.
The tour was well organized, relaxed, and provided a great balance of sightseeing and time in the water. For the price, it was an outstanding value and one of the highlights of our trip.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zadar. Thanks again to Matej for a memorable day on the water!

Thanks so much Marin, liz & Eddie x

Very nice! Toni is very kind and helpful!
Beautiful views on the islands.
Nice walk, and good weather.
Jennifer_K, Oct 2025
Nice relaxing day, good communication, our guide was great. No trouble finding the meeting place. Would recommend the tour.
Scott_H, Oct 2025
We had a good time on the speedboat tour. Thank you to Matej. Tip to people: make sure that you arrive on time. We had a long, but beautiful walk from the cruise shuttle drop off and arrived just in time. They leave the dock exactly as scheduled. It would have been better to take a taxi from the cruise dock to the meeting spot.
Veronica_P, Sep 2025
Loved this boat ride. What an experience!!! First stop allowed us to swim in the clearest blue water, we got amazing pics there ; second stop allowed us to eat and the restaurant our guide recommended was scrumptious for a very reasonable price.; third stop not so exciting as the swimming was limited. Overall a great value for the money and unforgettable experience with great pics to remember.
Joe_W, Sep 2025
The boat trips are fun. 1st stop to swim. The water is unbelievable- it is so clear. Amazing. They had all of the items you need. Snorkel gear. Floaters. If you have trouble with big steps - this is something to consider when getting in / out of the boat. Very helpful driver / Boat Captain. 2nd stop was for lunch. Last stop a small village.
DIANA_M, Sep 2025
We both really enjoyed the trip with Mathew he was very informative and helpful at each stop. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy the water for half a day.
carola_f, Sep 2025
This was a really great day out, fun and relaxed. Speedboat was good, clean and our driver, guide was super, very chilled day out. good stops and lovely to swim in the clear sea.
My sister and I really enjoyed it.
CarolAnne_P, Sep 2025
Relaxing day on the water. Mateo was very friendly and helpful. Boat was comfortable and easy to locate the meeting point.
Sara_D, Aug 2025
We had a fabulous tour with our sipper Enzo! The locations were beautiful and he always made sure we had a drink in our hands (nonalcoholic also available). At each stop he gave great recommendations from where to snorkel to where to eat in the small fishing town we stopped in. We would definitely recommend and would do again if we return to Zadar!
Maren_S, Aug 2025
This was really a fabulous day, beautiful boat, not too crowded, great captain and beautiful swim spots. Highly recommend!
Mariana_P, Aug 2025
Fantastic way to spend a few hours marvelling the crystal blue/green waters of the Adriatic. Matei was attentive and kind host and the four hours flew by, filled with swimming, relaxing and enjoying some speed along with good music. Kids and adults alike had a fab time!
Amy_A, Aug 2025
Amazing and lots of fun. Had a great time and highly recommend for having an amazing time in Zadar!!
Kelly_M, Aug 2025
We arrived by cruise ship, and getting to the collection point was very easy — just a quick €20 taxi ride. The boats arrived right on time, and the check-in process was fast and effortless. The group size was perfect, making the experience feel relaxed and comfortable.
The boat itself was very comfortable, and cruising along the coast was an absolute joy. The music was upbeat, the sun was shining, and the water was stunning. Our tour guide, Matej, was fantastic — so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely a lovely person.
The three stops were all wonderful and offered a fantastic way to see Zadar from a different perspective, away from the mainland. Overall, this was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Claire_F, Aug 2025
Absolutely fabulous family trip (2 seniors, 4 adults, 2 youths) snorkeling in Otric, cocktails in Kali, inflatable assault course in Preko. Lots of fun, awesome soundtrack & plenty of laughs along the way with our speedboat Captain Max

Wonderful experience. My family loved the boat ride, snorkelling and overall day. The host Mathéo was amazing
Sicco_S, Jul 2025

Charlotte_K, Jul 2025
Really nice guide; lovely boat; snorkel equipment provided and very attentive with drinks each time we got back on the boat; snorkelling area was really clear just not much to see in terms of fish etc great music on the boat and plenty of time at each location as they were not very big; great ice cream shop and stop no.2 :)
Kate_W, Jul 2025
Such an amazing trip! Matei was a great skipper and was very tentative. The stops were interesting and had great places to eat and the bay where we swam was so beautiful.
