    Definitely a must see!
    Plitvice is a place of enchantment and natural beauty - it is untouched nature at its best..I especially loved the transition from being a bit rainy to the sun coming out - we got to experience seeing the best of both worlds
    You will remain in awe...

    Our guide Tamara is a star - she's kind, informative and takes care of her flock.
    PS I also took the Krka Waterfalls tour with this company. Another wonder of Croatia to experience as well..
    You will be pleased as well.

    Thank you for everything Zadar
    Adventures - Dragan! | enjoyed every moment..

    The hidden bay and national park were absolutely delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Remember to pack your hiking boots and swimsuit for a well-rounded experience. Indulge in unlimited beverages, including wine, throughout the trip. The lunch provided was quite satisfying, but it's wise to bring along a snack of your choice. Be prepared to do absolutely nothing for about 6 hours during the 10-hour journey as you simply cruise on the boat. My advise is to bring some warm clothing as it can get chilly on the water.

    It was a small group tour maximum was 10. I thought a full-day tour could be such a long day, but it wasn't! If it wasn't the full day we couldn't enjoy ourselves as much as we wanted. The staff was friendly and nice and told me about the info, and history. It was a bit of a shame that there was no snorkelling stuff, the rest of them were okay. Highly recommend. Oh, if you can't swim well, bring your own life vest or something similar. I still vividly remember the crystal-clear beach!

    We did the 0.5 day tour after adjusting for thunderstorms in the area. Marin was an excellent guide, had great information on the local sites, and was fun to interact with. A great way to learn a bit more about the islands and towns around Zadar. The swimming spots that he selected were great as well. Would totally do again.

    We booked this boat in July 2023. It was very very nice trip :) Nice small boat and welcoming owner. There is a place to sit in the shadow, but sun cream is anyway mandatory. Some drinks and snacks were included, available on the boat which was very nice. Delicious lunch in cafe on the coast with tasty fish left a very nice impression. 100% recommendable. Thank you, dear owner of the boat.

    Lovely day out on the sea. Boat about 3/4 full so room to move about. Staff were cheerful, helpful and engaged the passengers in the trip. Yes the food and wine are a bit basic which is not unusual for this type of trip but it was served promptly and there was plenty of it!
    First stop was a stony beach in a cove but the sea was crystal clear and the bottom was sandy. We were first to arrive so plenty room until another boat appeared about 40 mins later. I would think this beach would be very crowded in the high season. There is a nice walk to a cross at the top of a small hill (easy climb) with good views if you want to have less time at the beach.
    Next stop at some interesting ruins and the opportunity for cliff diving. Choices between 2-5m, at your own risk of course.
    Third stop at an island village which was very modern and tbh could be anywhere.
    Plenty of time at sea with scope for dolphin watching which was successful that day!
    I think any island cruise is likely to be busy in peak season but if you are going out of season I would recommend this company. Always ask for a discount though😃

    I loved this trip so much! We had Lady Tea as a guide and she was great at giving instructions and making sure everyone we'll be back on time on the bus. The waterfall is impressive and the landscapes are so great. I'm also glad I went in September because it was not that crowded and got to enjoy the experience more.

    We had a wonderful day. Our accommodation host recommended Jadera and they did not disappoint. Transfer was quick, easy and comfortable. There was a WhatsApp group we were added to so we could stay in touch with our guide all day should you choose to go off on a walk alone which my partner and I did. There were only two routes you could do with this tour as you’re restricted by time (5.5 hours) however we opted for the longer of the two routes and had plenty of time!

    For the two of us in total it cost €110 for the bus transfer (€30 per person) and the entry tickets (€25 per person must be paid in cash - much cheaper in the off season!).

    Plitvice is a must see destination and we highly recommend booking with Jadera for a friendly, reliable and helpful service!

    I highly recommend visiting this amazing place with Jure! This was our first time visiting Croatia, so we wanted someone who is professional and experienced. Trip was just amazing! Jure was kind and he told us so many interesting things about this area and Croatia in general.

    Great day out on the water. The speed boat was the perfect mix of comfort and speed, allowing us to get to 5 different locations, swim, snorkel, visit a wreck, a quick 5 minute floating visit to an old maritime bunker, a great stop for lunch in a small water side village and then more swimming on the return. The rigid hull inflatable boat had comfortable seats for a speed boat, enough space for a small backpack underneath and a shade cover for all the passengers. Small group of 10-12 only for seating which made it more relaxing without the crowds.

    The operator was polite, proficient and engaging. For a day out on the water with various swimming location, it was great.

    Depending on your booking you may need to take €20 per person for marine park fees (payable to your guide). Also recommend taking some water, drinks or snacks. There are cafes and bars at some of the beaches but you will pay €€€.

    If you like snorkelling it may be worth bringing your own snorkel and fins to accompany the provided mask.

    I totally recommend this company and Terezija as both guide and agent. She went to a lot of trouble to accommodate me (I had sprained my ankle) and made sure I still enjoyed the trip. She is very professional and knowledgeable and gladly shared all with us. I would not hesitate to advise any potential clients to book with her.

    First things first, you do get to visit the fort and church at Kornati for 45 minutes than over to Telascica for 2 hours. Yes the boat trip is long but it’s not a speedboat and the island isn’t visible from Zadar. Overall, decent value cruise but I would only do it in the case that a smaller group tour cancels your original one and you have no where else to book.

    Now the parts where I feel that the tour company could better themselves. First, actually being happy to have guests on board and taking their money. They were nice but definitely not like other tour cruises I’ve taken around the world where they can get you to buy drinks on board.

    Second, their entire boarding process is chaos. Even if you buy a ticket in advance, you have to wait to board in a line of people that are trying to pay that day. Definitely sucked looking for a spot after 75% of the boat was boarded when you arrived at the recommended time.

    Third, a better reiteration of the day and what is happening on the boat. What time lunch is served, how drinks work, approximately what time we are landing at each port of call. This lends itself back to point number 1 about interacting and being happy with the guests. I saw people on the bottom deck with 3 glasses of wine yet no wine was provided for the patrons sitting on the forward top deck.

    Again, this is a great backup option if one of the smaller group boats isn’t available during your stay. Just know you are not getting a tour but more of a ferry service with lunch (which wasn’t bad but the fish could use more seasoning of some sort).
