About this experience
Please note: the €10 docking fee per person is a standard fee charged by boat operators in Zadar. It covers all stops during the tour, so the total fee is €10 per person for the entire trip. Explore the beautiful islands near Zadar on a relaxed small-group boat tour designed for guests who want to avoid crowded boats and enjoy a more personal experience. Our tours operate with either our traditional boat or premium speedboat, depending on weather conditions, availability, and group size. Regardless of the boat, we always focus on comfort, atmosphere, and enough space on board to truly relax and enjoy the Adriatic Sea. During the summer season, the tour is mainly focused on swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in crystal-clear water and hidden bays. We provide snorkeling equipment, cold drinks, bottled water, ice tea, and homemade local liqueurs on board. In April and May, when the sea is still cooler, the experience is more focused on exploring the islands.

Intelligent skipper provided wonderful tour
The tour was very good and exceeded our expectation. We had a very nice time swimming, looking around islands and even had a nice dinner in a restaurant recommend by our skipper, Sara. She organised for us wonderful swimming experience, gave interesting facts about place we saw and stayed near by. Everything was done in high standards in intelligent manner. At the end, Sara surprised us a taste of very nice, homemade liquor. We enjoyed this tour and thank you Sara for being our skipper.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience: snorkling, swimming in beautiful Spots and a nice guide. Thanks a lot!
via Tripadvisor
Amazing - 100% recommend.
Absolutely brilliant - throw yourselves into the snorkelling, even if you've never been before! Incredible fish and undersea life. Make sure to visit the lighthouse to jump off too! This trip was the highlight of our time in beautiful Croatia. Perfect for 11+ - make sure children are confident swimmers as you will not be able to stand up in the sea when getting on or off the boat, and will need to swim 20m to shore. At times there are bigger waves (generally when windy or when a speed boat passes) and it can be rough if not prepared. Take drinks for the kids. Take lots and lots of photos - get a waterproof case with a strap so you can use the phone in seawater.

Highly recommend
I can only recommend this boat trip! Super nice and cozy trip. It was just my boyfriend and I, and another family on the boat, which was great. Experienced and very kind captain, which made the trip very comfortable, even though it was quite wavy Definitely one of the best boat trips I’ve been on

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling 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 Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 99 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Zadar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling?
+
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 Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling 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 Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling?
+
Around 35 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 Zadar: Small Group Island Boat Tour with Drinks & Snorkeling 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.
