About this experience

Your day begins in Zadar at 9:00 AM, where you’ll board a rugged, high-speed RIB boat perfect for island-hopping. The first stop is a hidden beach on Molat Island, ideal for a peaceful morning swim.
Next, gear up with provided snorkel equipment and explore a sunken 18th-century wooden shipwreck—a true underwater time capsule.
We continue to Sakarun Beach, one of Croatia’s most famous beaches, where you can walk the shoreline or take a dip in the calm, turquoise waters.
At the northern tip of Dugi Otok, we’ll stop for two hours at the majestic Veli Rat Lighthouse. You’ll have free time for lunch, coffee, sightseeing, swimming, or snorkeling in the area’s clear coves.
Then it's off to Božava to enter dramatic Cold War-era submarine tunnels, once used by Yugoslav forces—a truly unique experience.
