Après les recommandations unanimes des touristes et des locaux, nous avons décidé d'éviter Krka (monde, intérêt limité au mois d'août..).
Nous avons donc opté pour une journée en bateau privé, pour aller explorer les îles proches de sibenik. (zlarin, prvic, kaprije).
Avec Joe le skipper, maîtrise impeccable de l'anglais, nous avons passé une journée fantastique.
Petite baie isolée à l'abri de la foule, eau bleue turquoise, taverne chez des poissonniers authentiques, snorkeling...

Une journée qui nous a permis de découvrir en famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants, 8 et 5 ans) une autre version de la Croatie, depuis la mer et à l'abri de la foule en plein mois d'août.

Sime arrived with an empty boat and told us we were waiting for some more guests for our boat coming from Sibenik.
Due to the gusting wind we were told by our skipper and guide Eddy, that we would do the tour in reverse by visiting Prvic island first and waiting for the wind to subside before crossing to the Kornati national park across from Murter.

The crossing was an experience with the skipper having to guide the boat over the top of the waves rather than through the troughs.

Once we entered the national park it was more sheltered from the wind and we could relax more.We were shown the the high cliffs, the ruined film set, where we ventured up to the hill top and Eddy was a great help to our friend who was having trouble with the climb.

Had lunch at Konoba Lavrnaka which was quite expensive but food was ok.

After lunch we went to the beach on the other side of the island where we had a couple of hours for swimming, snorkeling in the clear sea with a sandy sea bed and sun bathing.

We then headed home for a much smoother ride back at top speed which was great fun.

All in all a great day out with a very helpful and informative guide. Thank you. read less

We were collected at 9 am then picked up another family of 4 and a group of 2 .

Denis the skipper was amazing . Very knowledgeable about Sibenik and the surrounding area . We headed down to islands stopping briefly for Denis to point out historical points of interest .

First stop was we anchored up off one of the islands for a snorkelling stop . Lots of tropical fish to see and plenty of time to swim to the nearby beach if you wanted to . The water is crystal clear .
Next stop was to another island - Levrnka. Here we experienced lunch in a traditional Konoba . The food was outstanding- all fresh and using local ingredients. Felt very privileged to be eating in a place only accessible by boat . Again Denis explained how the family running the restaurant live simply off the land for part of the year .
On the way back we stopped at another island . Another opportunity to snorkel , walk on the island to a film set from the 1960s , or relax on the little beach .

All in all a first class boat trip , not to be missed if you are visiting the area . The photos say it all ! read less

Finally we finished off with a visit to a Dalmatian village and extraordinary walk through of an abandoned Venetian fortress. Even for travellers on a budget like us, it's worth every Kuna. Definitely will be a highlight of our 6 month trip through Europe and would recommend to anyone. 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

- Reactivity of the skipper : take care of mass tourism boat and change the scheduling of stop to let us enjoy place with less people
- knowledge of the skipper : he answered all the question we had and we learnt things not written in tourist guide
- Make the best of the time we had to show us spot not on the roadbook.
- Easy booking and reactivity by WhatsApp.
- restaurant not cheap but I did eat the best fish over my holidays.
Thank you read less

We were hesitant before booking the trip, but it turned out to be a wonderful day, highly recommended. read less

Amazing private tour of Kornati Excellent trip, skipper and guide - highly recommended! Amazing views, beaches and the best restaurant so far in Croatia!

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

The skipper and his mate were good company and the trip was everything that the company's blurb cracked it up to be.

Being on a fast boat made the journeys between stops fun and kept us cool. The stops were varied (including a chance to swim from a great beach) and we had a very good lunch.

We would highly recommend the tour! read less

Edi our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating with requests for stopping for a beer, swimming and snorkelling. The 4 islands we visited were quiet and peaceful and very picturesque. Got some amazing photos. Lunch was not provided but we were taken to a secluded part of an island where a restaurant on the hillside serves amazing local produce. We could watch the guys gut the fish! A donkey was also found wandering into the restaurant! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day out and found it to be good value for money. read less
