We had a fantastic time with Luca and Lawrence (hopefully that’s his name!). Even though it wasn’t high season, the schedule was very reliable. We visited three charming small villages and got to enjoy a beautiful swimming spot without many people around. The speedboat really added to the whole sailing vibe. We can highly recommend this experience!

We had an amazing adventure with Zdar Boat Tours. All three stops were beautiful and offered something unique. Our captain, Lovre, was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so many interesting facts about the islands along the way. A quick tip: bring tennis shoes or sturdy footwear for the first island, as there’s a bit of hiking involved. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! Ok teto

Was lovely to get out and see some of the islands. The weather was great and David was a great guide

Worth doing

Sandi_R, Sep 2025
Zadar is an interesting city but this tour had you out and about in the water Really enjoyed it and our guide David was really good Arrive by 930 for the 10 am tour Take water , hat ,towel and togs and walking shoes

The first stop was not...

Kristie_G, Sep 2025
The first stop was not good. We were told there were beaches but there were no actual beaches. There are very rocky places that lead to the water but no easy way to get to the water. There are no shops or restaurants on this stop so in my opinion, this island should not be part of the tour.

Joseph was an amazing guide! All the places we went to were soooo picturesque and stunning! Highly recommend!

Def do this!!

Reagan_D, Aug 2025
10/10 would definitely recommend and would definitely do again!! we loved the whole thing start to finish, but we had a great time getting to swim in the ocean!

Could have been better.

Sparsh_K, Jul 2025
Croatian waters are stunning but the service provides handling this tour are quite rough and it’s not as much fun as we expected to be. They said there will be alcohol or drinks served, but nothing was given.

Relaxing excursion

Sheri_M, Jul 2025
Cool experience, loved exploring the tiny island. This was a relaxing day at the end of a long cruise. They communicate exactly where to meet beforehand. Bit of a walk from the sea organ where our ship dropped us, (15min) but taxis and Uber readily available in Zadar.

GREAT Experience

Camila_P, Jul 2025
Such an amazing experience to see other islands and swim in the beautiful water. The staff and everyone on the boat was so friendly and fun!

Good but a little misleading

Jessica_G, Jul 2025
We had a great time and our tour guide, Joseph, was fantastic. That said, the activity was advertised as including unlimited alcoholic drinks, but we were only offered one small shot of local wine. Aside from that, it was an enjoyable experience overall.

Really good experience,...

Mykaela_A, Jun 2025
Really good experience, and brilliant guide! Really helpful and pointed out many things to do, see and places to eat. Good vibes on the boat with music. Spent a good amount of time on the first island and snorkelling, only criticism was the last island felt a bit rushed, only had time to grab some lunch/something to eat and didn’t have loads of time to explore but understand they have time limits and tours to get back to Zadar for. Great experience and would recommend.

Great experience.

Vanessa_G, Jun 2025
Was a great day out and was fun. Had a great time snorkeling. The guide was great and we had enough time at each place.

Great guides and fun educational scenic tour

Renae_G, Jun 2025
This was a great trip. It did involve some optional hiking so recommend to wear good shoes. The drinks are water and shot of local Rakiya (liquor). The staff are fun and knowledgeable and easy the eyes. Lovre was our captain and he took pics of us and shared stories about the area, he was fit.. The music was bumpin and there was cake if you what I mean. Ladies take this tour you won’t regret it. 😀

Five stars, no notes!

It was a great experience! The guide was fun and informative taking us to beautiful islands off the coast of Zadar. At each stop, we had about an hour of free time - great experience! Highly recommend if in Zadar!

A wonderful trip to visit three islands off the coast of Zadar. Our captain Roko did a great job and even treated us to his homemade grappa. We all had a great time.

The tour was good, nice...

Giovanni_M, Jun 2025
The tour was good, nice organised and the places we visited were absolutelly beautufull. Rocco the new skipper was super good, well done! However a few people found a bit misleading in the description when it says Alcoholic Beverages included. This need to be rectified, we only had one shoot of homemade liquore and we were expecting beers/wine. Other than that the experience was great!

Excellent experience. We...

Jennifer_H, Jun 2025

Sandra_P, Jun 2025
We enjoyed this adventure very much! Our tourguide Roko was very nice, shared some facts about the islands we visited and showed us around.

Pleasant afternoon on the Adriatic

John_H, Jun 2025
An enjoyable afternoon on the water. Joseph and his crew were very helpful and professional. They were very accommodating as I had some issues getting in and off the boat but they offered help and allowed me to navigate the best option for me to enter and exit.

Great tour with plenty of things to do

Oscar_W, Oct 2024
When we arrived the water was fairly rough but this didn't seem to matter as the captain was very skilled. We had time to climb up to the top of Ošljak (you could also walk around) which was a great view and then snorkeled by the 2nd island before getting plenty of time to relax at or walk around the 3rd island. The tour guide is very friendly and has some interesting things to say about the islands and ensured the overall vibe of the tour was fun.

Nice!

Mai_T, Sep 2024
Amazing! Good vibes and lovely snorkeling spot. Drinks included! :) Would recommend! Everything was explained and we got some extra insight to Zadars history. Fun!

Excellent Trip

Alexandra_C, Sep 2024
We had a great day, with beautiful stops on the islands which had a nice mix of walking/exploring and swimming/snorkelling. We could definitely have spent the full day on this trip. Josip was fantastic and very knowledgeable. It is worth noting however, that the only drinks included and on board the boat are bottled water and you are offered a shot of Rakia. If you want other drinks, you can take them with you or buy in Preko. That being said, this was still a 5 star trip for us and was worth the money.
