Kayak from Zadar to Dugi Otok for clear water, sea caves, cliff jumps, and quiet beaches with a small group and local guide.

“We had an amazing day! Lots of kayaking and got to explore beautiful caves and beaches - the water was so clear! I’d definitely recommend packing some water shoes as a lot of the beaches are pebbled and slippy to walk on - water shoes were a life saver. Our guide Filip was fantastic, a must do if you’re visiting Zadar!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 132 reviews · from $76

Paddle the clear Zrmanja River past waterfalls and swimming spots on a family-friendly half-day tour from Zadar.

“When we got to the meeting place, we met 3 young guides who explained everything. If you're not good with English, there's a lady who speaks Italian. The location is beautiful, but the 10 km can be a bit tiring for first-timers (like us). They'll wait for you if you fall behind. Overall, it was a great experience. Bring a beach towel, food, and drinks, and they'll be well kept in insulated boxes.”

Review of Dugi Otok’s small-group kayak tour from Zadar, with ferry views, caves, snorkeling, cliff jumps, costs, tips, and practical details.

“We managed to go on a half day kayak tour on Monday and it was excellent. The water near the islands and in the caves is just crystal clear, I have never seen the sea this clear before. Our tour guide Filip was the best, he was so helpful and patient with us when we were jumping (or trying to jump ) off the cliffs. Time flew away really fast as we enjoyed ourselves.

“I really liked the tour because you are in a small group (we were 6) and explore Dugi Otok more privately and whitout many other tourists. I also loved SUPing, being a bit active and swimming in beautiful spots around the island. Thank you Roko for a great day! Side note: If you take the all day tour from Zadar Port, come by public transport as you will take a Speedboat back to another port in the center of Zadar.”
