Super - Loved it, maybe a bit expensive cos of the 15€ extra fee when we got there. But otherwise, we loved it, even got to see some dolphins.

Best way to discover the Croatian sea... - Great boat trip. Snorkeling near a wreck and swimming in a heavenly cove. To finish, drinks available on the boat. Great family outing.

Sakarun tour that you should definitely do in Croatia!! - Fantastic!! My fiancé and I booked this tour spontaneously, and it was very professional from the start. When we got to the office, we were given detailed instructions (in English and Croatian) on how the trip would go.
We were then greeted by our captain and led to the boat. The journey there and back were very funny, pleasant and, above all, entertaining. The captain always asked how we were doing.
It is really highly recommended, because the beach is beautiful, there is plenty of space and the highlight of course is the sand in the bay - unique!

Loved the speedboat tour - Had a great time today! Skipper was super friendly and helpful, organization was great. It was a bit too windy for snorkeling at the big ship, but the plan B was a much better alternative (for us)! Sakarun beach was wavy, but our sons preferred it that way.
Clean and modern speedboat. Recommended!

Solo trip at Sakarun boat tour July 2023 - Very interesting and compelling boat tour, with exciting views and relatively good quality information from the skipper!
The downside is a 50' ride to the first site where the shipwreck is located: bumpy and speedy trip due to the speed boat but also lack of sunshade because the boat is not fitted with a roof so it can take care of sun rays bad for skin. Strongly recommend wearing anti UV clothes and a hat you can buckle on your head and chin. Otherwise, you will end up holding your hat in one hand while the other holds on the handle bar because of highspeed trip.
At the snorkelling site of the shipwreck it's super nice if you bring a underwater proof camera to shoot from below the site. Thumbs up for the skipper who will provide the tourists with snorkelling mask and tube (Decathlon) which is not great because it's not high quality mask...you may bring your own mask if you own a better quality one.
The second site is brilliant at the Sakarun beach where you get to sunbathe and swimm for about 1h50m which is just enough so you can take a swimm near the white luxury yachts and enjoy the swing installed on the beach.
During the whole tour skipper provides its tourists with water or juice, salty snack, also beer (for adults).
At the end of the tour skipper will take you to a third location (it's a nice surprise) where you actually can enjoy some chilly nice shade.
Tips would be nice to give to the skipper at the end of the tour! :)

Frightening Awful boat trip from HELL!! - THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES!!! I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH AT HOW ABSOLUTELY ABSURD AND UNRELAXING THIS WHOLE TRIP WAS. THey do not show any photos of the boat. It is like riding a donkey going 100 miles an hour across choppy waters! There is no room to move and if you think you are going fo relax and take a photo your stuff will go flying! It’s 1.5 hours of straight speed and hair straight back! I was bawling my eyes out and I grew up around all sorts of fast boats my whole life! We got to sakarun beach for only 40 minutes than it was 1.5 hours back of straight hell. All four of us cannot even move our bodies today from the death grip we had to have on this marine style zodiac boat!
This was an absolutely ridiculous description of this tour! Two of us have back injuries and the rest of our holiday we will be recouping from this horrifying experience! How dare they charge us 433.00 plus the 60.00 euros on top they charged us when we got there! The four of us could have charted a beautiful boat for the day with lunch and champagne!
This was due 4 .5 hour tour from
Zadar to Sakurun beach

not first choice - we were late because our daughter was sick ( had to stop by the pharmacy) and than had problems to find the archipelago office (followed the viator link and chose the first adress out of three that led us to the wrong part of the harbour). We understand that the ship has to leave on schedule and couldnt wait but its hard to understand that they dont refund you anything or give u the possibility to switch to a later tour if u miss the boat due to a sick child in combination with an arguable route-description in google maps. At least we saved the hidden cost of 60 Eur (15 per person) that has to be paid on top of the booking when u start the tour.
