However when I called and booked a private tour for the day, the gentlemen I spoke to was very clear and reassuring.

We met Kristian our skipper on the morning we had picked and straight away I knew we were in safe hands!! He was by far the best skipper we have ever had! He was very confident driving the boat and helping with the children in the sea. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and all the local areas.

He went above and beyond and did his best to make our day pleasurable. He certainly exceeded all expectations.

I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!!!

We wish Kristian and all the team the best of luck for the future. read less

Our Captain and guide, Edi, was knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible regarding specific places to visit and how long we wanted to stay at each location. The island villages were beautiful and peaceful and the swimming/snorkelling stops were amazing. We were delighted with our trip which ran from 9am to 6pm and will definitely arrange another when back in Croatia. Thanks again Edi read less

We cruised at first through the Šibenik channel, checked out St Nicholas and Jadrija and then went all the way to Skradin. On our way we had a stop to take a swim... Skradin is lovely. On our way back we stopped and spent our afternoon at the beach restaurant (which you can reach only by boat)... we had lunch there and we were chilling, swimming, sleeping until the evening. When we left it was already dark, we cruised across Šibenik channel, looking the lights of the city and the amazing city fortress... The sea was so calm (Bonaca) and this feeling of a great day at the sea, spent with friends will keep me going through the winter! Highly recommended❤️ read less

Denis was a really great skipper, finding lovely bays for us to swim, snorkel and explore. We stopped in Zlarin, saw the Sibenik fortress from the sea, and experienced sunset on the water before returning to Vodice. This trip was easy to arrange and Archipelago Tour Company was professional and well organised. Thanks Denis and Sime. read less

Boat was fast and covered the distance easily.
Stops for snorkeling, lunch (best food we have had) sightseeing (old film set) and local village.
Child friendly for ours aged 7 & 8.
Well worth it.

was not a suprise for us as we used Archipelago Tours and Sime for the private tour last year also. In my experience, this type of tours very much depends on skipper you get, and Sime is one of these you'll keep in your memory forever. He looks like he spent every minute of his life alone on the high seas, but on the other hand, he was very talkative, and he had amazing stories to share. We didn't know much about Kornati NP so we gave full freedom of trip planning to Sime. The trip started in Sibenik, every early, at 08:00, and passing through St. Nicolas channel at that time of the day was a first highlight of the day was spectacular, peaceful and gracious. Way to Kornati was very comfortable as the sea was calm and form a distance, we could see our destination. First, we passed on the side of islands facing Italy, where all spectacular cliffs are, and Sime told us stories about spectacular underworld on those cliffs. First stop was on island Mana. We climbed to the top of this rocky island where are ancient alike ruins located, but acutely they were built many years ago for the one movie set. Anyhow, it was nice and the views from the top were beautiful. In the bay, we took a swim and did a bit of snorkeling, what my niece loved. We moved further driving through Kornati channel until island Lavsa where we had a drink and a swim. Thereafter, we went for a long ride to lighthouse Blitvenica outside of Kornati NP. This desolated island with 150 years old stone lighthouse and one man working there was a true surprise. Man working in the lighthouse gave us a tour through the lighthouse. Thereafter we had to the island of Kaprije where we had amazing food in the hidden bay, and oh mand it was so delicious. The last stop before returning into Sibenik was the island of Zlarin where Sime gave us a tour and we had a drink. Last part of the trip was in the sunset and what to say, just see the photos. What more to say . read less

Our skipper Sime was very friendly and was sharing with us stories about the island naval history and life. He also took us to hiden bay for a superb tavern with the robinson style prepared fresh seafood that was so delicious.

Many thanks for great experience. read less

The day was brilliant. Christian is very knowledgable and explained everything we needed to know about the Kornati National Park and islands, and more! The boat experience itself was fantastic, super fast and great for thrill-seekers. And there was also plenty of time for relaxing, swimming and snorkelling, and cliff jumping.

If I had the option to give this 6 stars I would and I highly recommend this trip! read less

En lisant les commentaires sur Trip Advisor, nous avons opté pour le tour proposé par Archipelago Tours. Quelle bonne idée !
La réservation s'est faîte facilement (un coup de fil et 2 mails échangés) via leur site internet.
Tout s'est déroulé comme prévu grâce au professionnalisme et aux connaissances de notre Skipper (très Safe dans son pilotage du speed boat, bien agréable pour nos enfants de 4 et 9 ans) et du reste de l'équipe.
Le prix de 260 euros pour la famille (2 adultes plus 2 ou 3 enfants) est complètement justifié comparé aux autres tours proposés en gros bateaux bondés et lents ( nous en avons doublé plus d'un) qui sont obligés d'accoster tous aux mêmes quais (alors qu'avec notre petit bateau de 10 personnes, nous avons pu accoster dans des endroits plus tranquilles).
Notre Captain a su répondre à nos questions tant sur l'histoire de son pays que sur la faune et la géologie des Kornati.
En résumé : à conseiller pour tous ceux qui veulent sortir des excursions blindées de touristes.
Merci Archipelago Tours

We were staying in Sibenik which was ideal. Due to bad weather we had to reschedule twice - company very obliging even on the actual day the captain still offered us a chance to change our minds as it might be rainy .
You can park for free BEORE the barriers into the marina (cost to park here) and walk 5minutes to get on the boats.
We were told about the islands history, ownership and how they are managed. We stopped on one island which had been used for a film in years past - with the buildings still standing. We stopped for about 11/2 hours on a 2nd island for dinner. We ate in the restaurant (not cheap, but food is amazing) then went to the sandy beach in Croatia (all 100m of it!). Due to it being quite cold we did not do cliff jumping or snorkelling.
We left the Kornati islands and stopped at Prvic Island. We saw the quirky tribute to the bloke who invented the parachute.
Finally, as a bonus,we went to the derelict St Nicholas fort. This is vey difficult and dangerous to access from land and officially you aren't meant to access it - but it does have a jetty and proper access on the seaward side. We had a personal history lesson from the captain, getting his view on things before heading back to Sibenik.

This really was a great trip - if weather had been more as expected this would have been unbelievable awesome. Cant recommend highly enough read less

He took four of us out for a perfect day of touring his Island. Born here he knows it well. We were the recipients of his love for his home. The trip to the park was wonderful. He continued our perfect day with many extras! read less
