Our guide, Joe, was very nice and told interesting facts about Sibenik and the area on the way.
We started 9am and around 11 we reached the first stop. It was on one of Cornati islands, there was a good restaurant, though quite expensive and a beatiful beach. We ordered Food and had 1,5h for walking and swimming. The beach was amazing, stony but with white sand in the crystal clear water, and some nice underwater creatures to watch.
Then we had a meal and went further with a boat. After not long ride we reached an uninhabited island Where some Could do cliff jumping or snorkling.
The sea bed was stunning, it was like swimming in the aquarium with big fishes.
Then we went further with a boat and had one more shorter stop closer to Sibenik on a typical dalmatian island. We had ice cream and made the way back.
This was a very pleasant relaxing day.
Be prepared for a lot of time on boat with jumping on waves and getting a little wet:) 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

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

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

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

The boat was a small speed boat to fit 8 people, but my husband and I were the only passengers that day. We spent the day from 9am until 5.00pm visiting the islands. Joe was our skipper and guide, he was very knowledgeable and kind. We would definitely recommend this trip and Joe made it a special day for us. We had a lovely lunch, we had coffee and ice cream in a lovely village, visited an old film set and a lovely secluded beach, we even saw lots of dolphins. 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
