Speedy tour! - Really enjoyable trip, our tour guide Toni was very friendly and spoke very good English. There was a fairly large swell and this made docking at Osljak tricky. Our time there went fast and there wasn’t much time to swim after walking around but beautiful views, especially the lighthouse and lots of history to learn about. We ran out of time to try any restaurant in preko after being across to the tiny Island of Galevac - but some others on our tour skipped this stop to eat - we had delicious ice cream here instead. It would have been good to spend more time on Preko, there were good swimming spots and much more to explore, maybe next time!

Superb experience, beautiful places and wonderful people - Esperienza superlariva!! From the booking onwards Danko was present sending confirmations and recapitulative messages with very useful tips to better enjoy the tour. At my request he reserved a transfer to the cruise terminal at the last minute. The speedboat was comfortable and the speedboat experience was adrenaline-pumping. Our skipper Luca was the icing on the cake: really super!!!! He offered us a lot of information and went down with us in the various stages to guide us on a beautiful tour of the islands. We had the return by cruise ship immediately after the tour and Luca and Danko were real professionals taking great care to respect the schedules. Grazie per la meravigliosa avventura!

A great adventure - Booked this to experience Osljak island and got two more stops aswell. Absolutely brilliant from the minute i met the boat (easy to find) and Toni our handsome and very helpful guide. He came with us on Osljak and showed us around and we had plenty of time to swim and get back to boat before setting off to preko. Again lots of time and a little rowing boat across to Galevac. Again loads of time to swim which was absolutely amazing at preko. The boat was immaculate and an exciting trip across the water. Thank you Toni. I know you do this every day but you made it feel special
For me. I dont normally book trips but this was a great adventure. Thanks again and i hope u looked up Peloton.
Highly recommended tour. Rachel

Top experience - Really an excursion to do!
Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, in a small group.
Fresh water included.
Brilliant guide who explained well what we were visiting. We have enough time on the different islands to swim or drink coffee.

One not to miss - Fabulous! Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Danko was super organised, helpful & knowledgeable on the history of the areas we visited. He was mindful of the rain & activities we couldn’t do so offered us different options to make the most of the day. Thank you Danko.
