    Dolphins, snorkeling and grilled mackerels, great!

    Dear Niko and Ljilja, thank you very much for the super day at sea! The day started with an amazing dolphin encounter, enjoying our croissants. After the first snorkeling stop, we had a great, well prepared, platter. Next stops were also amazing, highlight was the lunch with snorkeling and fish+meat in abundance! Bbq on the boat, super asset! Left overs fed to the fish leaving us with unforgettable fish-feeding videos! Overall great day, would recommend to join this tour!

    Response from the operator: Dear Roel, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Thank you for being such lovely guests, you are always welcome on our boat and we hope to see you again with us on another boat trip. Have a nice rest of your holidays and safe trip back home! Kindest regards, Your True Boat Croatia Crew

    Great full day trip around Kornati islands.

    Great full-day trip around Kornati islands with stunning scenes, fresh and tasty food, plenty of drinks and a local wine! The ship was big enough to host 4 families and visited nice bays to do some swimming and snorkeling in absolutely clean water! Thank you for the crew! Cheers, Laszlo

    Response from the operator: Dear Laszlo, It is really great to hear that you had a wonderful day on our Kornati boat trip. Thank you for this lovely review and for being such lovely guests. We hope to see you again on our Vrgada boat trip to visit some dolphins and have a lot of fun as well. 😊 Kindest regards, True Boat Croatia Crew

    Boat trip with baby girl and dogs

    We had our best day on the board with Niko and his son during our holiday in Croatia. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. We were with our 5 months old baby, and 4 adults (age between 35-70) and with 2 dogs. We saw delphins, tuna farm place and gad a chance to swim in private bays. The food was excellent on the ship prepared by Niko and his son. Thanks for the best little boat trip ever. See you next time:)

    Response from the operator: Dear Cristo, Thanks a lot for your wonderful review. We are glad that you enjoyed on our boat trip and we cannot wait for another boat trip with you! 😊 See you next time! Kindest regards, True Boat Croatia Team

    Perfect experience

    We had wonderful time on this trip. We have done many boat trips in Croatia and this was definetly our favorite. Its a small family bussiness and they are wonderful people. We did Vrgada tour and were able to swim and enjoy some of the cleanest water we ever seen. While we were swimming they made us breakfast/lunch/desert/coffee/drinks and everything was so delicious. Its all homemade and some of the best food we ever had. We were family of 9 adults and 4 kids. Areas we went to were beautiful and private. Captain was so wonderful to the children, they loved him. I would recommend this tour every day and hopefully will be back. It was so lovely to see that family running this bussiness with so much heart and we wish them all best:)

    Response from the operator: Dear Marija, Thank you so much for your very detailed and wonderful review! We appreciate the time you took to write such a review. We are also very glad to hear that you, your family, friends and kids enjoyed so much on our Vrgada boat trip. You were such lovely guests and are always welcome on our boat. Have a wonderful rest of your holidays and we hope to see you again on another boat trip with us! :) Kindest regards, True Boat Croatia Team

    Just Amazing

    As a family of 9 adults we hired Niko & his son Ante for the full day to the Konati National Park. From stepping onto the boat, which was spacious both with seating & sunbathing areas we had the most amazing day. The scenery was fabulous, we were given time to swim & never felt rushed & the food, wine, soft juice & water was plentiful & cooked beautifully. As good if not better than restaurant food. We then sailed home with the sun setting to end what was the most perfect amazing day with great hospitality. Would highly recommend & wouldn't hesitate to book Niko & his boat again

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted that you had an amazing time with us and that you made unforgettable memories. We hope to see you again next time on another trip. 😊 Kindest regards, True Boat Croatia Family

    Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.

    How much does Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada cost?

    +

    Prices start at $123 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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada 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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 33 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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada?

    +

    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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada 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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada?

    +

    Around 12 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 Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zadar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Zadar?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zadar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zadar: Luxury Island Boat Tour, Snorkeling & Unlimited Wine, Zadar Highlights: Old Town, Sea Organ & Local Tastings, From Zadar Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour with Tickets. 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.

    What is included in Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada?

    +

    Included: Breakfast; Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Snacks; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada?

    +

    Go to the parking lot across the street and in front of the parking lot you will see our boat. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Full Day Tour | Food & Drinks | Kornati or Vrgada offered in?
