Kornati & Telašćica Tour from Zadar

About this tour

Join our full-day Kornati tour from Zadar and cruise through Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park. Swim at the untouched Lojena Beach, explore dramatic limestone cliffs and the saltwater Lake Mir, and enjoy breakfast, lunch and park tickets included in your day on the Adriatic.

Full description

Departure is at 8:30 from Zadar harbour aboard one of our classic wooden boats. For the first two and a half hours you'll cruise in awe through the Kornati archipelago — 89 islands, islets, and reefs that shift between every shade of blue. There is nothing quite like it in the Mediterranean, and seeing it from the water makes that immediately clear.

Your first stop is Lojena Beach on the island of Levrnaka — a pristine strip of white pebble with turquoise water and absolutely no infrastructure in sight. You'll have two full hours here: swim, snorkel, lie in the sun, or simply sit and take in a place that looks exactly as it has for centuries.

After Lojena, the boat heads to Telašćica Nature Park at the southern tip of Dugi Otok. Spend an hour and a half exploring one of the Adriatic's most dramatic landscapes: towering limestone cliffs plunging straight into the sea, a tranquil saltwater lake (Jezero Mir), and panoramic viewpoints that stretch across the entire park.

In the late afternoon you begin the gentle cruise back toward Zadar — full of sunlight, salt air, and the kind of quiet satisfaction that only a day in untouched nature can bring. With breakfast and a full grilled lunch already included, you won't need to think about anything except enjoying the view.

Kornati and Telašćica: practical questions

How long is the Kornati tour from Zadar?

The planned departure is 08:30 from Liburnska Obala and the return is around 17:30. Allow a full day, including the cruise, about two hours at Lojena and about an hour and a half in Telašćica. Stop times and the route can change with sea conditions.

Are Kornati, Lojena and Telašćica the same place?

Kornati National Park is an archipelago of 89 islands, islets and reefs. Lojena, the planned swimming stop, is on Levrnaka, not on the island of Kornat. Telašćica is a separate nature park on southern Dugi Otok, where the programme includes time for Lake Mir, the cliffs and viewpoints.

Does this trip include Sakarun, Veli Rat or Golubinka?

This programme focuses on Kornati, Lojena and Telašćica. For Sakarun, the Michele wreck and Veli Rat, compare the northern Dugi Otok speedboat tour. The combined Dugi Otok and Kornati speedboat route has a different programme, with Golubinka visited only when sea conditions allow.
