Description

Jump aboard your speedboat and head straight for adventure! Snorkel around the Michele, a massive 76-metre shipwreck resting just off Veli Rat, and swim alongside curious fish exploring its hull. Then dive into the magical Golubinka Sea Cave, where sunlight streams through the ceiling and lights up the water in the most incredible way. There, you can also make your way to Dragon's Eye, a mysterious saltwater lake tucked into the cliffs above the sea - its deep green waters and dramatic setting make it one of Dugi Otok's best-kept secrets. Next, get ready for some serious beach time! Cool off at Veli Žal, a striking white pebble beach with crystal-clear water, before heading to Sakarun, one of Dalmatia's most loved sandy lagoons. Splash around in the shallows, try your hand at picigin, and soak up the sun on this postcard-perfect stretch of coast. The adventure keeps going as you stroll under the pines at Veli Rat and spot the tallest lighthouse in the Adriatic. Then it's on to something totally unexpected: a real Cold War military tunnel carved into the coast, once used to hide submarines. Explore its cool, echoing passageways and soak up the history. Wind down in Božava, a picture-perfect village tucked among pinewoods, with a final swim and a coffee or gelato by the water. Cap off your day cruising back to Zadar, taking in gorgeous views of the Old Town while the Sea Organ plays its melody straight from the sea.
