This is a must do in Zadar. The crew were very friendly and upbeat. The scenery was excellent and so was the weather.

This is a must do in Zadar. The crew were very friendly and upbeat. The scenery was excellent and so was the weather.

Worth the money and time. Great services and gorgeous places.

Joana_P, Jul 2024
The boat was spacious and well equipped. We traveled with 2 kids, a 7y and a 2,5y. My small child had space to move while traveling. The food was good and the soft and alcoholic drinks too. It worthed the price and the trip. The views is amazing and we could enjoy bathing a lot since it was a hot day

Beautiful crew

Diana_C, Aug 2023
Very good organization, nice guide, beautiful places visited, not crowded boat. Nice location for the lunch on the island and fine cooked.

Beautiful views!!

Cora_J, Jun 2023
Enjoyed swimming in the Adriatic Sea and the scenic views from the boat The cliffs were amazing and the clear blue water was breathtaking

Not the same boat as in the pictures and boring food

Hanna_G, Jun 2023
Not the same boat as in the pictures. Boat was pretty crowded and there was no place for sunbathing (like we expected from the pictures). Food (grilled whole fish and chicken breast) was bland and dry, salad (iceberg lettuce and tomatoes) soggy and warm. No gluten free or vegan options ready for breakfast even though we were asked to specify allergies/dietary restrictions when booking. Surroundings were ok but since the trip was so long it got a bit boring, plus the seats were hard and uncomfortable after a while. Would have been ok for half the price, not worth the money we paid.

Beautiful places, not a long time to spend there.

Chiara_P, Aug 2022
A tour of beautiful places that you wouldn't normally see without a boat. Unfortunately there are hundreds of boats doing the same thing, so you are never really immersed in nature, you are always surrounded by people and boats. The actual journey takes up most of the day and the visits are a bit rushed. Food was ok, not unforgettable. I would have been happy with a sandwich on board, which would have left us more time to explore. My recommendation is to go in May/June/Seprember, there might be less people. Also to the organisers: PLEASE watch out for plastic cups! So many of them ended up in the sea because of the wind! Provide heavier cups, compostable cups, better holders or brief people on how to properly tale care of their cups. It's a natural park!

Ideal day trip

Lindsey_G, Jul 2022
A lovely day trip out seeing the islands and stopping at Telascica was a highlight, with wonderful views, nice places to hike and a salt lake to have a float. Everything was provided on the boat that you needed, drinks were always available. Breakfast and lunch were basic but still very tasty and all you needed - a vegan option was even provided for me which I did not expect. Highly recommend, for the price you can't go wrong.

Highly recommend!

Joanne_W, Jul 2022
Fun trip... food and drinks were available throughout. Friendly tour guide. Definitely worth the money.

What a great trip

Laura_B, Jun 2022
It was a very nice trip… in total the boat trip was around 9 hours… the crew was very nice and drinks (water, juice, wine) on the boat were for free. In total we were on the boat for 6 hours. The boat was very nice with two decks on the upper deck you were able to lie down on mats and relax. The stop at the national park was nice too :) we had lunch on another island, which was simple with fresh fish and grilled chicken and salad. Simple but good… I would definitely recommend this trip. Thanks so much !

Nice

Matthew_W, Jun 2022
First island was really nice, salt lake was the best bit. The second island wasn't great, not a lot to do and the food wasn't great. Boat was nice, smallish group.

Bad experience

Brenda_H, May 2022
when we arrived there was no longer room to sit there were 60 people when they said it was a small group, at the top of the boat you had to sit on the floor, breakfast was bread with ham, not even coffee or tea, the food It was a little salad, a sardine and chicken breast, the truth is that I don't know how they would have prepared it because when I arrived at the hotel I had an infection in my stomach, they ruined my day paying €106 for a tour of that quality is not worth it, the wine was sad, it had no flavor at all, it is good that they save on the budget but at least give something that can be drink. I will not pay so much money for anything again this tour is not worth it

Well worth the money food...

Sophie_C, Aug 2021
Well worth the money food and drink served all day, we got a bad day so be prepared bring a jumper just incase.

Long, slow and there's...

Sami_G, Sep 2025
Long, slow and nothing to see... Kornati is arid, the salt lake muddy. This is the tourist trap par excellence. The bathing areas are in harbours where hydrocarbon residues float. The staff is nevertheless friendly.

Posti spettacolari

Patrizia_T, Aug 2024
Il posto visitato è spettacolare e la giornata è ben organizzata con guide efficienti. Pranzo modesto ma non mi aspettavo molto. Poca chiarezza sul sito su costi inclusi e nel bigluetto

Zeitplanung könnte besser sein

Claudia_K, Jul 2024
Die Crew war freundlich und stets bemüht. Wir sind pünktlich losgefahren. Aber das Boot hätte etwas zügiger fahren können, wir sind 2½ Stunden hin sowie wieder zurück gefahren, was viel Zeit genommen hat. Leider fehlte bei den stops auch etwas Kommunikation zu den Punkten wo wir gehalten haben, zudem die Route nicht ganz eingehalten wurde. Die Zeit im Nationalpark war schön aber für den teuren Eintritt viel zu kurz und das wir uns in Dugi Otok befinden wo nur 9 Menschen leben sollten ist weder benannt worden, noch hatte man den Anschein dass es so ist. Hier hatten wir nach dem Essen gerade mal 1½ Stunden um zu schwimmen bzw uns um zu schauen. Alles an sich war es trotzdem ein schöner Tag und wir waren sehr entspannt (durch die langen fahrten). Dankeschön für die Bemühungen.

Aardig maar het duurde wel lang.

Frank_G, Jul 2024
Van de 9,5 uur durende tocht werd er 5,5 gevaren. Twee keer twee uur kon je jezelf vermaken, waarvan de tweede keer ook geluncht werd. Het ontbijt aan boord bestond uit een broodje ham/kaas. Er was geen koffie of thee. Alleen water en limonadesiroop. De lunch bestond uit een stukje geroosterde kipfilet en een gebakken visje, met wat koolsalade. En brood. Gedurende de hele dag kon je ongelimiteerd water, limonadesiroop en die een witte wijn aan boord drinken. De parken waren mooi, maar dat was slechts een klein gedeelte van de dag. Al met al zou ik deze excursie niet aanraden. Maar het is zo'n beetje de enige manier om in die parken te komen.

Totale Enttäuschung

Maximilian_B, Jun 2024
Im Prinzip wurden alle aufgezählten Punkte erfüllt, jedoch auf die billigst mögliche Art. Den größten Teil des Tages verbringt man auf dem Boot, dieses fährt im Schneckentempo über 2h zum Nationalpark, dieser entpuppt sich als eine Landebucht für Touristen mit Klippen und dem Salzsee. Die sogenannte versteckte Bucht ist mit Häusern bebaut. Man sitzt auf Plastikstühlen und bekommt ein Stück trockenes Huhn, ein Stück Fisch und etwas Salat serviert, von frisch gegrillt keine Spur. Der Wein wird in Plastikbehältern in Plastikbecher gefüllt. Nach dieser Enttäuschung konnte man noch eine Stunde rumsitzen, das war’s. Wieder zwei Stunden Heimfahrt. Die Besatzung war aber freundlich.

Des îles singulières

Florence_M, Apr 2024
Chouette balade en bateau. Le personnel est très sympathique et se plie en quatre pour rendre la journée mémorable. Sandwich au petit déjeuner avec boissons à volonté, vin, eau, sirop d'orange... Déjeuner sur l'île avec viande et poisson grillé pendant que les voyageurs se baignent ou se promènent. Deuxième escale sur une autre île avec un lac salé. On peut faire le tour du lac et découvrir une plage de cairns assez spectaculaire. Retour au port de Zadar en environ 3 h.

Ein wirklich traumhafter Tag zu einer perfekten Zeit!!

Simone_L, Apr 2024
Es war ein wunderschöner Tag und das Team war echt super, immer sehr bemüht, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, sehr lockere Atmosphäre und man hat sich von Anfang an wohl gefühlt! Die wunderschöne Bucht und die traumhafte Aussicht waren unsere Highlights!

Muy buen servicio y la comida bien pero demasiado largo el trayecto

MAngeles_G, Aug 2023
El traqueteo del barco.Era un sin parar El guía muy bien , el servicio y la comida bien , pero el trayecto muy largo No hace falta irse tan lejos para bañarte habiendo islas más cercanas

Crociera alle isole Kornati e Telascika da Zara

AnnaMaria_C, Aug 2023
Giornata bellissima trascorsa a bordo di Giostilje boat personale gentile guida competente tt incluso nel prezzo colazione bibite alcolici dolci frutta un buon pranzo a base di pesce.Organizzazione Top Consigliatissimo Visto anche i delfini

Ok

luc_D, Jun 2023
Als je er toch bent en tijd over hebt .... Leuk en rustig Wel aangelengd fruitsap en robison- eiland heeft nog weinig met 'robison' te maken

Agréable et familial

KATIA_L, Aug 2022
Excursion très agréable et équipage au top !! Une excursion à taille humaine qui est appréciable .La visite et les temps proposé pour visiter et déjeuner sont largement suffisant. Les attentions et le repas est simple mais très bon et on vous propose même un peu plus si vous le souhaitez. Pour le goûter, une tranche de pastèque fraîche et de l'eau proposée tout au long de la balade. Je recommande :)

Autentico

Chiara_S, Aug 2022
Bellissima esperienza! Trasferimento tra le tappe molto piacevole soprattutto al piano superiore della barca, personale gentile e cibo ottimo (panini consegnati dalla panetteria pochi minuti prima della partenza). Decisamente più caratteristico rispetto ai barconi stracarichi di turisti...

Pésima experiencia

Sergio_H, Aug 2022
El capitán echó a toda la tripulación del barco a gritos dando un espectáculo lamentable y dejándonos en tierra a todos sin motivo alguno. Aún no me han devuelto el dinero, eso sí, el día de vacaciones nos lo fastidiaron bien. Este barco no debería ofrecerse nunca...

Kornati

Antoine_M, Aug 2022
Jolie parcours, trajet en bateau un peu long et nourriture peu engageante. Alcool a dispo le long du voyage :-)

NON CONSIGLIO!!!

Matilde_F, Aug 2022
Vi racconto la mia esperienza con questo tour. Quando sono arrivata nel punto indicato non ho trovato la nave, solo dopo aver cercato più indietro il nome della barca sono riuscita a trovarla. Proprio in quel momento ho sentito delle urla tra il personale della nave e poco dopo ho visto il capitano andarsene. Ho chiesto informazioni ad una addetta che imbarazzata non sapeva bene come gestire la situazione. Dopo aver cambiato versione più volte mi ha riferito che il tour era annullato e di trovare un’altra soluzione. Ovviamente tutti gli altri tour erano già pieni. Mi è stato dato un foglio da compilare con le informazioni della mia prenotazione, si spera per ottenere il rimborso. Sono amareggiata dal comportamento di questo team che ha abbandonato tutta la gente che aveva già pagato e non poco. Non consiglio assolutamente questo tour con questo team.

Largo trayecto en barco....

Natlia_C, Aug 2022
Largo trayecto en barco. No son 3 sitios, como parece en la descripción, solo son 2. El segundo sitio mucho mejor. El primer sitio demasiada gente, pocas cosas por hacer.

Posti incantevoli ,...

Loredana_F, Jul 2022
Posti incantevoli , ospitalità e cordialità . In navigazione offerti spuntini e bevande . Il pranzo generoso e in una locations rustica e caratteristica

Le temps de bateau est...

Solene_P, May 2022
Le temps de bateau est majoritaire (5h !!!!), il y a 2h pour profiter du lac salé puis l'autre arrêt consiste simplement en un repas avec une heure de digestion (sans rien à faire sur l'île) avant de rentrer.
