Depart from Zadar in the morning and enjoy a panoramic speedboat ride through the Zadar archipelago towards Dugi Otok. Pass by the islands of Ugljan and Rivanj before reaching the first stop on the northwestern side of Dugi Otok.
Stop at the famous sunken ship “Michelle”, one of the most popular snorkelling locations on Dugi Otok. The wreck lies in shallow water, making it perfect for exploring with a mask and fins. The sea is exceptionally clear, and schools of fish can often be seen swimming around the wreck, creating a unique underwater experience.
Continue to Sakarun Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic coast. Sakarun is known for its white sand, crystal-clear turquoise sea, and long shallow bay ideal for relaxing and swimming. Surrounded by pine trees that provide natural shade, this beach is a must-see destination on Dugi Otok.
Next, head to the Golubinka Sea Cave, located near the Brbinjšćica bay on the southern side of the island. Accessible only by boat, the cave is famous for its stunning light reflections and deep blue sea colours. Swim inside the cave or explore the surrounding cliffs and hidden coves. It is one of the most photogenic spots on the island.
After swimming and exploring, relax in the fishing village of Božava. Known for its peaceful atmosphere, traditional stone houses, and seaside taverns, Božava is the perfect place to enjoy lunch, have a coffee, or take a short walk along the waterfront before continuing the tour.
On the way back to Zadar, visit one of the former military tunnels carved deep into the cliffs of Dugi Otok during the Yugoslav era. These tunnels were once used as shelters for military boats and submarines and today remain one of the island’s most fascinating hidden attractions. Entering the tunnel by speedboat creates a unique and unforgettable experience.
Return to Zadar in the late afternoon, accompanied by panoramic views of the surrounding islands and the Zadar Channel.
