Description
Head to the meeting point and hop aboard a modern speedboat before setting out on your full-day island-hopping adventure from Zadar. Make your way to Dugi Otok Island, to the village of Božava, your first destination for the day. Here you'll discover the military tunnels built during the Cold War to protect the island and its inhabitants in case of an attack. From here, head to the village of Veli Rat. Hop into the water and explore a sunken 18th-century ship. Get a glimpse into the past as you snorkel above the underwater archeological site and see artifacts from the past. Next, head to Punta Bjanka - protected nature area to see the highest and one of the most picturesque lighthouses in the Adriatic Sea. The Veli Rat Lighthouse is located on the northwestern tip of the island and dates back to 1849. Then it's time for some well-deserved downtime at Sakarun Beach - protected nature area, a popular beach famous for its white sands and shallow, turquoise, crystal-clear waters. Take a walk along the beach, wade into the shallow waters, or lie back and soak up the sun before continuing to your next destination, Brbinjšćica Bay, where you'll visit the Golubinka Sea Cave and Dragon's Eye - protected nature area. Your full-day boat tour from Zadar also includes a break for lunch around 2:30 PM. If you are planning to have the lunch in the restaurant please take some cash with you, because the restaurant there is cash only. The restaurant is owned by one local fisherman family, so if you want you can try some delicious Dalmatian meals for affordable prices. If you are not planning to eat in the restaurant it’s smart to take something to eat with you because it’s a long 8h tour. If the weather permits, you'll also get the chance to visit some additional natural attractions and secret hidden gems, including the Cliffs of Dugi Otok near the town of Sali, Telašćica Bay in the Telašćica Nature Park, and the Kornati Islands National Park. Please note that sometimes depending on weather conditions we modify and adjust the itinerary to make this experience as good as possible. This personalized small group experience offers a great opportunity to make new friends while enjoying the beauty of Croatia.Includes
