Ugljan: Idyllic Island Charm
Your journey begins on Ugljan, the closest island to Zadar. To hop between the city of Zadar to Ugljan island takes only 10 minutes. Experience lush greenery that carpets the rolling hills, while a string of pristine coves beckons with their calm, crystal-clear waters.

Here, time seems to slow down as you wander through narrow streets, their coolness a welcome respite from the midday sun
Explore the charming village of Preko, a maze of narrow stone streets lined with traditional houses. Take a stroll through the waterfront and dive into the refreshing Adriatic at Preko and swim across to a small island hiding a big secret.

Sestrunj: Beauty and Nature
Next on your island hopping list with Zadar Archipelago is Sestrunj, a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape. This car-free island boasts a rugged coastline with hidden coves accessible only by speedboat.
Let our experienced tour operaters guide you to the best secluded beachs – a slice of paradise where you can unwind on the pristine sand and snorkel in the crystal-clear water teeming with marine life.

Unlike its bustling neighbours, Sestrunj offers a sanctuary from the crowds, a place to truly reconnect with nature and yourself.

Venture to the charming village of Sestrunj, the island’s main settlement. Here, a cluster of traditional stone houses with terracotta roofs huddles around a small harbour. Explore the narrow streets, their coolness a welcome respite from the midday sun.
Molat: Untouched Paradise
Your speedboat adventure continues towards Molat island. A quintessential stop on every island hopping adventure, Molat will serve as a doorway to the mystical and hidden side of the Croatian Adriatic you can only experience on a boat tour with Zadar Archipelago.

Relax as the crickets sing their summer songs and the sea creates a bass that will lull you into a state of pure relaxation.
Dugi Otok: Dramatic Landscapes and Hidden Wonders
The final jewel in our crown is Dugi Otok, an island famous for its dramatic landscapes and hidden wonders.
Visit the north of the island, where you will get the chance to snorkel inside a shipwreck. Lady Michelle is a commercial ship that was run aground in the 20th century by the Italian navy.

Once you are done with shipwreck snorkeling, visit Sakarun beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in all of the Croatian Adriatic coastline. This sandy lagoon beckons visitors with its aquamarine glow, which stretches for hundreds of meters in all directions.
Near this beach is also the biggest lighthouse in this part of the Adriatic. Veli Rat lighthouse provides good photo opportunities, so for all those with a good Instagram following, it could be good to check it out and take a few pics.

Stepping off the speedboat, a smooth coastline punctuated by Adriatic shrubbery rises subtly from the turquoise waters, promising an intriguing hike.
