Beautiful trip to kornati Islands

Andrea_M, Aug 2022

Very fast boat, probably not adapted to any kind of guest, but great experience, very beautiful places

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Andrea_M Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear that you had great experience and that you enjoyed your tour in beautiful Kornati Islands. Best regards, Zadar Archipelago Team

Should include more for this price

Jess, Aug 2021

We expected more from this trip considering it was 180€ for 2 people. The boat ride was long (50 minutes each way) to the first stop which was a crowded beach and 30 minutes to the second (stopping at a lighthouse and flat island for pictures). You only get 1 hour to swim there (10 mins is gone walking to and from the beach). Then the next stop is a bay (should not be called a beach) where you swim for 1 hour (even though they said 2 hours initially). Forget snorkelling because there aren’t any fish or corals. Just enjoy the swim and the crackers/coke you get because for the 4.5 hours of the trip, you only get 2 hours to relax and swim at the beach/bay so make it last. I’ve been on a few Viator trips and I have to say this is the most disappointing of all. Also, there’s no social distancing on this tiny very uncomfortable boat. I understand it is meant for 12 people, but we didn’t expect it to be such a small boat. The pictures aren’t very clear. My recommendation is to show pictures of the very crowded beach and bay so people are aware. Also, why not include the additional fees in the total price?

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Dear Jess, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy yourself to the fullest. The distance between Kornati and Zadar is 20 nautical miles. Other boats travel to the Kornati in 3.5 hours, and we do it in 50 minutes. We drive carefully so the guests can enjoy sightseeing in the National Park while driving. For the safety of everyone on the boat, we do not recommend going any faster than we do, especially in protected areas. I am sad to hear you missed the vivid marine life in the Kornati, but we can not control wildlife in its natural habitat. Our boat is open space and regularly sanitized. The boat is 11m long and is shown in all the pictures of our tours. There were 10 people on the boat for this tour, so there was enough space on it. Sadly, we can not control the traffic of big ships and crowds in the middle of the summer season, but we were on the beach in time to avoid most of the summer crowds. We are sorry that you haven't enjoyed your Kornati experience to the fullest. Dora

Expected something better for the high price

Martina_G, Aug 2021

The boat tour was quite ok but we really expected much more after reading the description and knowing about the price of € 180,- for 2 of us. There were 13 people in the boat although the maximum should be 12 and only 1 man driving the boat. He did his job well but was not a guide. After explaining just a few things he was permanently talking to a guest lady beside him and we did not get interesting informations. There was no shadow in the boat and we could not choose good places because the first and the last row was reserved for 2 groups. It was unimpossible to enjoy drinks and snacks during the very fast trip because we had to hold tight on the uncomfortable seats. After reaching the island we could take water, coke, juice and some crackers out of a box. We did not get snorkelling equipment as mentioned and there was neither a toilet on the island nor in the boat. So we had to be nearly 5 hours without a toilet!!! The sandy lagoon was crowded by people and 2 1/2 hours on this beach were much too long without shadow and a nice place to stay. At the start we had to pay € 25,- per person in the office so the end price was € 180,- for a couple. We travelled by boat for 2 hours and stayed at the sandy lagoon without a restaurant or bar and without a bench, a toilet or a shower for 2 1/2 hours.

Dear Tinnie, we are sad to hear you aren't satisfied with your tour. We are sorry to hear that we didn't succeed to meet your expectations. As stated in the description our skipper on our half-day tours is as well guide for the half-day tour and all guests are welcome to ask him any questions you might have. Our RIB boats are open space, as you can clearly see on all of the pictures from our tours, and they do not have shade on them, and they are on every product picture we offer. We do have private tours with our family cruiser with shade and a board toilet. We also provided 14 snorkeling pieces for the tour and they were on the boat. Our guests are welcome to bring masks or use our equipment on the tour. Sadly we cannot affect the traffic of big touristic boats in the middle of the summer season, we do try to avoid the rush hours or take you to less crowded locations. We do have a more comfortable boat with shade and toiled in our offer for our private tours.

Nice halfday :-)

half day activity, which was perfect for us. Very good and fast boat for max 12 people. So we have seen a lot and didn't have to spend a whole day with 100 people on a boat. And the time on the small beach was therefore also peaceful. Nice captain as well

Génial

Oceane_H, Aug 2023

Un guide au top avec bcp d’humour ! On a passé une agréable après-midi dans les eaux cristallines ! C’était génial.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Chère Océane, merci pour le temps pris pour rédiger une si excellente réponse. Vos mots nous encouragent à continuer à faire ce que nous faisons de mieux, vous montrer le meilleur de la côte Croate.

Viaggio comodo su mezzo...

Viaggio comodo su mezzo super veloce verso il cuore delle isole kornati. Sciopero gentile ed efficiente non vi farà mancare nulla durante il viaggio. Il giusto tempo per un esperienza indimenticabile
