2.3 Islands Luxury Boat Tour with Aperol Spritz & Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 387 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $36Top rated

Set out from Zadar’s Foša harbor on a small boat capped at 12 people. You’ll swim and snorkel near Ošljak, walk its quiet lanes, then stop near Ugljan for more free time. Skippers such as Edi, Mario, and Mate provide drinks, fruit, local tips, and help throughout the half-day outing.

“Mario, our skipper, was great. He was friendly, ensured we were having a good time in spite of weather, and cleaned the boat well before we embarked. The 3 locations we visited were beautiful. The water was clear, which was perfect for snorkeling. We were worried about having to take a bus from the cruise terminal to the drop off, however we found the spot easily as the address given in the listing was exact. We would definitely recommend Molo Tours.”

Spend four hours on a small speedboat from Zadar, stopping at a quiet swimming bay, Ošljak, and Preko. You get snorkeling gear, water, beer, iced tea, and an English-speaking skipper. Guides may include Jure, Josip, Željko, Gelico, or Matte. Expect a lively ride, island walks, and possible sea spray.

“Best trip ever :) Josip was very kind and he helped us through the whole trip. He speaks English well. He also offered us drinks and asked us how much we wanted to stay at a location etc. We could swim at all locations. First island was very small but i can say that it was the best swim of my life. There was no one other than us. Secondly, we stopped 50 meters away from the coast, the water was 3m deep, so we could dive directly. There was also snorkel equipment in the boat. Third location (preko) was bigger and had ice cream shops/restaurants, thats where we spent…”
