Great half day trip
It wasn't quite what we had understood but we had a lovely morning nevertheless. You are first dropped at one harbour for 1h30 on land then go to another harbour where you are dropped for a further 1h30 mins. If you wish to swim and snorkel you take your own gear at the second stop and walk to a small cove, this was lovely not what we had expected. Probably our mistake misunderstanding the details. The captain, despite not speaking English was very friendly and offered wine and lemon squash. The weather turned on the way back and despite rough seas we felt very safe with the captain.

Quite disappointing
Despite of our request for English speaking skipper his language was poor. We didn’t have a fixed programme. Relying on his local experience we asked him to show us some beautiful places. First stop was Blue Lagoon. The place was crowded with boats and we saw less fish than you can see going snorkelling on an average beach. Second stop would be a nice sand beach. We landed at Preko, a place crowded with tourists and a small artificial sand beach. Based on other reviews I am sure there are much more beautiful places around. The tour would be including bottled water; we were offered 1 glass during the full 4 hour tour. I would recommend others either to prepare your own plan with places to visit or go with another operator.

We had such an amazing time with skipper Mario ! Was so friendly and professional. Took us around Zadar bay to try snorkeling in a really clear water , it was fantastic. We were offered cold refreshments throughout the tour and we felt really looked after. We would recommend the whole company as they accommodate us in a very busy period and let us take a dog . We really appreciate. Wonder day spent on a sea.
Response from the operator: thank you we appreciate your opinion

Private Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Private Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $259 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 Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 20 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 Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks?
+
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 Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Half-Day Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Drinks 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.
