Great experience! - Great experience with the archipelago Zadar group. Thanks to the guide who was very friendly, attentive, and informative.
With this excursion you will go diving near a wreck, swim in a cave, visit the most beautiful beaches, but also discover the Veli rat lighthouse and the Bozava village.
Each stop is sufficient, you will spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes at the different stops, which gives you time to enjoy but also to visit as many things as possible. The outward and return journeys are the longest but are not unpleasant given the landscapes we passed through. Perhaps consider taking food with you for those on a small budget because the restaurant offered on the excursion costs between €20 and €35.
Plus: if it's a windy day, remember to take a sweater or kway because the journeys between swims can get cold!!
Thanks again to the team!

Highly recommended - Wow, what a beautiful and super cool boat trip this was.
During the trip you will visit different places, all of which are beautiful!
The supervisors were pleasant and participated in a fun way. The costs are quite high, but you get a lot in return. Please note that you must provide 30 euros in cash per person prior to the boat trip.

Absolutely wonderful and fun experience! - We had an absolutely amazing day! Our guide and skippers were absolutely wonderful. They were very very helpful and they took us to some really beautiful places. Cristina, our host, was brilliant.
I cannot recommend this trip enough! Absolutely worth it.
Not only were the places that we went to really beautiful but the atmosphere on the boat was very fun. All in all, this was a great experience and I would go again!

Day of sun and fun! Worth the money - My partner and I booked this trip after a lot of research on Zadar area boat trips. We saw a lot of bad reviews about the bigger group excursions so we opted for this one, even though it's a bit more expensive. However, it is definitely worth the money!
The boat ride itself was a lot of fun, maybe a bit scary but we were in good hands with Daniel as our guide. Although, it was a speedboat, the first leg took almost an hour but because of the exhilaration of the ride and the views, it was fine. I can't imagine being on a slower boat with more people. Again, glad we picked this trip.
BRING DRAMAMINE IF YOU GET SEASICK. It's a long day on the boat.
I thought the timing in each stop was the perfect amount of time. First, we snorkeled above some shipwreck. Unfortunately, the waves were too dangerous to see the main ship but there was an alternate. I am happy our guides really cared about our safety and were able to think quickly.
There were a lot of people at Sakarun beach but it was fine because the water was great; shallow for a huge length. There was no shade so bring an umbrella or tent if you need it. It's also a rock beach so if you need extra support, bring a chair. Neither of those things bothered us because altogether it was beautiful.
The lunch place at the lighthouse was great, really delicious food.
Bring sunscreen, they have plenty of snacks and water and beer in between. Also be prepared to do some walking. It's a boat trip but some stops required a bit of walking between the dock and the activity itself.
It was an amazing day for both me and my partner and we would 100% do it again.

Amazing Zadar Archipelago and its First Class Service Staff - I was a bit hesitant at the onset to see the seating configuration, but I sucked it up and thought I should enjoy this ride. We had to saddle up onto our seats, you see, and I am more of a luxury sailboat type of person, but it was actually fun! There were bumpy portions of the trip which took me back to my younger years of rollercoaster rides in the US.
We were just the right number of travellers and we had an amazing crew - both the sweet guide and skipper - were fantastic. They were professional and ensured to keep the group in mind, she counted the passengers after every stop and they were very nurturing to those that may have needed a lending hand to walk through the rocky terrain of this beautiful country. I wish I took their names down, to give them the appropriate kudos, but they were truly amazing. The provider was Archipelago Zadar and let me tell you that the sign-in process was very efficient, the office staff was professional, amiable and very patient (I saw them sweat over lost guests that were clueless on where the office were -- hello Mr. Magoo, look!)
The itinerary is as advertised, the lunch restaurant they recommended for us to enjoy fresh fish was spot on with a lovely view of their amazing lighthouse. Both the sweet lady and skipper were patient when some of us were late (not me, am always on time!). Overall such a wonderful experience to enjoy and soak up the beauty of this Adriatic sea islands of a treasure (yes there was the treasure dive by the sunken ship swim stop!).

Unsafe Tour Company - This is the first negative review I have ever left. I just want to warn people about the tour company running this operation. My wife and I showed up with 3 children and my father. We were told seas would be a little rougher that day and we will have a slightly different route and not to worry. No big deal they said. We boarded and headed out to tour the islands off of Zadar, within the first 30 minutes the waves started getting unbearably unsafe and we nearly flipped. We stopped at two different stops that involved mile long walks to beaches which were not on the original itinerary. The waves got so rough and dangerous we were the only boats on the Adriatic. I feared for the safety of my family and the kids are forever traumatized. In no way should we have left the port that morning. The skipper tried to make the best of the situation, but was constantly shocked at the conditions and taking photos of the waves etc. The tour company should have called the trip off, they were too money hungry to stop it. We attempted to ask for a partial refund and they said no way. Good luck, pray for a calm day.
