Full description

Leave Zadar’s harbor behind and follow your skipper through island channels toward the village of Muline on Ugljan. Pine shade meets clear shallows here and at nearby Južna Luka beach, which makes a relaxed first swim and snorkel. After a short cruise the mood shifts from beaches to history as you enter a rock cut military tunnel on Dugi Otok. Dug by the Yugoslav People’s Army during the Cold War, these submarine shelters once hid naval vessels and today are a striking landmark that you can see up close from the boat.

Next your captain aims for Sabuša Bay on Molat or, if conditions ask for it, the sheltered harbor of Božava. Both offer calm water and time to swim or grab a quick drink. The finale is a guided snorkel over the wreck of the Ledenik, a shallow sunken merchant ship that now hosts schools of fish and bright sea grass. Because the wreck sits in just a few meters of water, visibility is excellent on most days and even first timers feel comfortable floating above the outline of the hull. The route blends scenery, light adventure, and local stories without ever feeling rushed.
