Tour description

A perfect day at sea

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park on our all-inclusive full-day boat tour. Departing from Biograd and Tkon, we take you on a relaxing cruise through the archipelago — complete with breakfast, a grilled lunch, and unlimited drinks.

Join us for a perfect day at sea aboard the Kanela. We depart in the morning from Biograd and Tkon, welcoming you with biscuits and Rakija (traditional brandy) to set the mood. As we navigate towards the open sea, enjoy a fresh sandwich while admiring the views of the Pašman channel and the first islands of the Kornati archipelago.

Our first major stop is the Nature Park Telašćica on Dugi Otok, where we dock for around two hours. You have ample time to walk to the spectacular vertical cliffs (stene) that rise 160 meters above the sea, or take a dip in the famous Salt Lake Mir, known for its warm, therapeutic waters and high salinity.

After Telašćica, we sail to the peaceful island of Katina. In this secluded bay, our crew serves a delicious grilled lunch (fresh fish or meat with salad) accompanied by unlimited wine, juice, and water. After lunch, enjoy free time for swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear sea before we head back, returning to port in the late afternoon.

"The trip met expectations. Small, intimate ship without crowds. Helpful and well-organized staff. Food and drink adequate to the price - flawless. I recommend using the time at the lake stop to swim in the clear sea."
