Wonderful private tour for family with young kids - Boris took our group of 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 1-8) on a private afternoon tour and we had a wonderful time. Communication up to the tour was easy, finding Boris was easy, and we were able to adjust our itinerary to make everyone happy! The boat was also equipped with many child sized life vests.

Perfect!! - Great weather and a super skipper (Boris). We were lucky to have just the two of us. It was 4 great hours with a lovely boat trip, snorkeling, exploring the island, etc.

Captain Boris is the best! - Today was great! Nice weather, friendly and informative captain, cherry liquor :) island exploring and snorkeling! Boris (our captain) was such a fun and funny guy I can’t help but feel like we made a friend on our trip. The snorkeling was very clear conditions (please tell me the brand of snorkel so I can buy one for myself!) so I chased schools of fish and had a relaxing swim!

Special experience - As it was out first boat trip of this kind we were really surprised by the nice services regarding the offers for drinks and foods. Additionally we were able to discover nice little snorkelling spots which basically added to the good adventure.

Fantastic Tour - With Ranko as captain and guide, the trip is a guarantee. I recommend doing it in the morning. He took us to less frequented places and at perfect times. Excellent music on the boat accompanied by melon and good wishes. Have a chat with Ranko, he is a very pleasant and intelligent person, he will tell you interesting things. Average price but worth it.

Captain Boris took us... - Captain Boris took us away on a comfortable boat (group was 12), after some local liqueur, to two islands close to Zadar. Great opportunities to swim, walk and explore. We really enjoyed it (especially the 70's music).

Escape by boat from Zadar to the islands with beautiful views from the water but slightly underwhelming destinations… - The trip across the bay to the islands is lovely with beautiful views of Zadar and the mountains. The first island is very small but we did the walk to the top of the island where the 360 degree view is worth the effort of the climb. If you don’t want to climb to the top you can walk round the island or you can swim but this is somewhat limited as no beach so just from a selection of small stone piers. The trip to the next island is a short hop across the water. This is much bigger and has a nice marina with a couple of restaurants/bars. The ice cream is delicious. The beach was a little disappointing to be honest - we had imagined a secluded sandy cove but it’s just a pretty standard beach with some wooden loungers and a roped off area to swim. Don’t bother snorkelling as there’s nothing to see!! You could swim across to another tiny island but then you would have to leave your bags and towels behind. Our skipper was friendly and told us some history of the islands. However we never got our welcome drink as sold to us within the “package” and he dropped us by the gas station on our return to Zadar rather than back at the bridge; not really an issue as only a short walk but just felt a bit of a disappointing end to the trip.
