“We loved this activity! The boat captain was nice and we had the chance to swim, jump in from the boat, and do some snorkeling (even though there wasn't much to see). We met some really nice people on the boat as well, which made the experience even better. We absolutely recommend this.”

“A really great day out for us, especially with nice weather we were lucky enough to have for the whole day. We stopped at some interesting points around Dugi Otok and a stop for lunch before a final calm afternoon beach stop. Definitely tired out after lots of swimming but also nice to stay on the boat if you prefer.”
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.”

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…”

“Such good value for money! Our 2 tour guides were so so lovely, we were able to use their snorkels and jump in off the boat. The trip was a lovely amount of time, we did not feel rushed at all. On our last stop we got off the boat and got some free time, this was just over an hour but we got a call from our skipper asking if we’d like to stay an extra hour which turned out to be very lovely just in time for the beautiful sunset on our ride back. 100% recommend !!”

“The boat tour was amazing and absolutely worth the price! It lasted the whole day and started with breakfast: fresh fruit and a sandwich with cheese and salami (you could choose the toppings). For lunch, there was a choice between meat, fish, or vegetarian – I had the fish and it was really tasty. The stops were all great, with plenty of time for snorkeling, and even a short walk to a little church with a beautiful viewpoint. Our guide was super friendly and spoke very clear English, which made everything even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”
