The island Ošljak is the smallest permanently inhabited island of the Adriatic with 29 inhabitants and an area of 0,39 km2. It is only half a nautical mile away from Preko. Ošljak is an example of traditional Mediterranean architecture, with an old fishing port and the Church of St. Mary from the 6th century. The hiking trail on the island is two kilometers long, passing by a lighthouse and the remains of windmills – mills from the 16th century. In 1985, Ošljak was declared a forest park.

Preko
Ugljan is one of the most picturesque islands in the Zadar archipelago, located opposite Zadar, from which it is separated by only a few nautical miles wide Zadar canal. This ever-green island, covered with olive groves, idyllic bays, and picturesque small fishing ports, for generations, has been tied to the sea, seafaring, and fishing, and more than 2000 years of olive cultivation have left thousands of olive trees yielding an oil of exceptional quality and aroma. Along the eastern side of the island, there are fishing and tourist settlements in natural bays, the most famous of which are Preko, Ugljan, Kali, and Kukljica.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Private Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar cost?
+
Prices start at $450 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 Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar 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 Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure 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 Private Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar 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 Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar?
+
Around 8 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 Islands Escape: Ugljan, Ošljak Preko Adventure from Zadar 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 From Zadar Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour with Tickets, Zadar: 3 Islands Luxury Boat Tour with Aperol Spritz & Snorkeling, Blue Bay Snorkeling & Cocktails 3 Islands Speedboat Tour. 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.
