You step onto the deck in Foša harbor as the city of Zadar slides astern — Roman walls, bell towers and the uneven stone of the Old Town recede while the sea opens up.
This half-day luxury boat tour threads between the jagged silhouettes of Ugljan and its satellite isles, stopping for swims in clear Adriatic water and short explorations of tiny fishing villages. Ošljak, often cited as the Adriatic’s smallest inhabited island, carries traces of its past as a quarantine outpost and now bright houses and narrow streets for twenty-odd residents. Skoljic’s small church and monastery archives provide a quiet cultural counterpoint to the swim breaks.
Geologically the islands are karst limestone: shallow, clear water over rocky bottoms and sheltered coves where Posidonia seagrass carpets the seafloor. Culturally, the route showcases coastal Dalmatian life — family-run konobas in Preko, fishermen mending nets, and children racing along pebbled shores.
Practical notes: tours run about 3–4 hours, include one Aperol Spritz or prosecco and snorkeling gear, and adapt to wind and swell (extra island visits replace swims on rough days). Arrive 5–10 minutes early — parking near Foša can be tight — and bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel and a light wind layer. Basic swimming comfort is required for snorkeling stops; staff provide a briefing.
Expect easy-paced cruising, bright water, and the ever-present possibility of spotting dolphins near the boat — a compact coastal excursion that balances relaxed sightseeing with crisp snorkeling in the Adriatic.
Yes — the tour provides snorkeling masks and basic gear; bring your own mask if you prefer a custom fit.
Operators adjust the route: if wind makes swimming unsafe, they add extra island stops and sightseeing instead; tours may be canceled or rescheduled for full refunds if weather is severe.
One drink (Aperol Spritz or prosecco or water) is included; additional purchases may be available ashore in island villages.
The tour is family-friendly but infants must sit on an adult’s lap and parents should ensure children are supervised during swim stops.
