Kiribati Islands trip
This boat trip was organised by our holiday company. We e were escorted by coach from the hotel Kolovare by coach at 7.45am to board the boat, which had 2 decks very clean toilets and a decent coffee bar. We were served with a breakfast roll of cheese and ham with unlimited squash and water, but had to buy hot drinks. We were on the lower deck and the noise from the engines completely stopped any form of conversation. The benches were incredibly uncomfortable, which we had to sit on for a total of 4 hours!! A cushion would have been gratefully accepted. On reaching the first stop, we got off to find beautiful clear clean sea, but very very difficult to get into, so most people didn’t. There was nowhere to sit, it was very hot and the whole hour stop there was a complete waste of time. Re boarded and set off for the second island, we were served a plate containing a chicken breast and a mackerel with some shredded cabbage. Not particularly appealing or tasty. Arrived at the second island, which was considerably easier to walk on than the last, and some people went on a walk to the cliffs with our guide Ivan, who was very knowledgeable. The rest of us walked to a sea water lake, most just paddled as it was really rocky and again difficult to access. We were here for 2 hours. Then another 2 hour journey back on the boat.Unless you are confident enough to jump into the sea from a boat and have comfier seats on whichever boat you choose, then I would give this trip a miss. It was a very long day for not very much to see or do.

Unbelievable experience!
What an amazing experience, would highly recommend! Crew were incredibly friendly and informative, and very welcoming for a solo traveller. The captain even bought me a beer, despite me initially wanting to pay at the bar! The islands are breathtaking, the music onboard was great, just wow all round. Food was also nice, and good portions throughout the day for a lunchtime meal.

Not advised
Rude and unhelpful. Poor value for money compared to similar tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Shona, we are glad that you were able to take some of your time to leave us your review. It would have been nice if you had some time the other day to inform us in time that you would not be coming to the excursion. Not only did you not announce your absence on time, but now you also dare to write that we were rude and unhelpful, even though we tried to reach you on the phone twice on the day of the excursion, and you did not answer. But yes, what a surprise, you had free time afterwards to request a full refund. No, dear Shona, a full refund in this case is not possible because lunch, breakfast, park tickets, and a place on the boat have already been purchased for you. If you had "played" this a little more elegantly, perhaps we would have considered a partial refund. And now you want other people to see us as rude and uncompetent for our job, when in fact you are the one being rude and not honest. How can you even comment on a trip when you haven't actually been on a trip? Thank you, boat Sveti Šime 2

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zadar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zadar is not rushed.
Is Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zadar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zadar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zadar and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kornati and Telašćica National Parks Day Trip from Zadar start and how do I get there?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zadar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zadar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
