Come with me on special day and explore Zadar with uniqe Sea Organ, visit local family Roca and taste local food and wine A historic old town of Roman ruins, medieval churches, cosmopolitan cafes and quality museums set on a small peninsula, Zadar is an intriguing city. It's not too crowded, it's not overrun with tourists and has two unique attractions - the sound-and-light spectacle of the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation - need to be seen and heard to be believed. The mix of ancient relics, Habsburg elegance, coastal setting and unsightly tower blocks is what gives Zadar so much character. And I will make sure I will show you just that. It's no Dubrovnik, but it's not a museum town either - this is a living, vibrant city, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. I am sure you would like some time on your own - free time 1h in Old Town Zadar After walking tour, a 40 min drive to Authentic Local Family Lunch "Roca". Enjoy! The Sea Organ, a set of marble steps that uses sea water

Inclusions: Round-trip private transfer, Driver/ Guide, All activities, Transport by private vehicle, Fuel surcharge, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Airport/Departure Tax, Hotel pickup and drop-off

This was our first sup experience. Luckily Fabe is a very funny and nice guy, he teached us every detail about how to feel balanced on the board and in a few minutes we were paddling toward the sunset. A sunset in zadar is something very exciting, even more doing sup on the calm and transparent water of the Croatian sea.

Really good day out on the boat. The whole experience was great, from the simple but delicious lunch to the excellent guide and his guitar. This was all helped by copious amounts of wine. Great value for money and an unforgettable experience.

This is an excellent way to see Plitvice exactly as you want .... If you don’t really like big groups and don’t want to follow guides, you can spend your day in a different way. You may want to sit in the shade under the tree after a long walk, or have lunch where you choose or something else... The tour takes about 10 hours, including the ride and the time you spend in the National Park Plitvice ( about 6 hours ). You can see the entire National park in 4 hours and you still have two hours to relax, take some photos and enjoy. We have the tickets booked for all the participants ! The driver will collect the tickets and you will enter the park with no waiting in lines ! Please prepare CASH for Entrance tickets. The ticket includes boat and train rides in the National Park. If you need, we can keep your luggage while you're in the Park. It will be safe, we promise. We will meet again at 4.00 pm, drive to Zadar takes 2 hours, and at 6 pm we’re back in Zadar.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Entrance ticket

We had a wonderful day at Krka Waterfalls and it was the main reason we came on holiday to Croatia to visit the waterfalls and they did not disappoint. Dragan booked the trip for us and communication with him was superb. He arranged for us to be picked up from Bibinje and we were at our destination by 9.10am. It’s then a short 20 min boat ride over to the waterfalls so we were there by 10.15. It was relatively quiet still at that point and it was blissful swimming in the waters whilst admiring and listening to the falls. We took our own packed lunch but there are plenty of little food and drink stalls too. There are lovely walks with amazing views around the waterfalls which you I would highly recommend. We got the boat back at 1.30 ready for our transfer back at 3pm. This trip is a MUST if you are staying in the Zadar area.
