Overview

Discover the hidden gems of the Zadar archipelago on a 4-hour island-hopping tour.

This relaxing cruise with our renowed traditional boat blends authenticity and comfort with padded seating, adjustable shade, and a cozy, laid-back atmosphere..

Swim and snorkel at one of Ugljan’s most beloved beaches, visit the peaceful Franciscan Monastery on the secluded Galevac Islet, and cruise past Croatia’s smallest inhabited island, Ošljak.

Along the way, we’ll dock in the charming fishing village of Kali, where guests can opt into a local wine tasting experience — featuring select Dalmatian wines and hand-crafted canapés made from fresh island ingredients.

As we return to Zadar, enjoy a scenic ride past the Sea Organ, Greeting to the Sun, and the ancient city walls — a perfect fusion of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and timeless coastal charm.

Perfect half-day boat cruise with island hopping and lots of swimming.
