4.Dugi Otok Half-Day Kayak Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 135 reviews · 8 hours · from $100

Take the ferry from Zadar to Dugi Otok, then paddle with a certified guide through clear bays, around Veli Žal, and into a sea cave that shifts color with the sunlight. You’ll have time to swim, snorkel, rest on a white-sand beach, and try optional cliff jumps.

“We had very good luck with our guide. His name is Zoran. He was very friendly, in a great mood and very helpful with the kayaks. We first paddled to a beautiful island with a beach which was almost empty from people. The water was turquoise and very clear. Our second stop included a trip to a cave which was very exciting. In the end we jumped off some cliffs. It was a perfect day which gave us great memories.”
