Through Northern Dalmatia, MS Dalmatino

Embarkation between 11.30 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. in Zadar. The tour guide will welcome you with a welcome drink and a small snack. After arriving in the fishing village of Molat, we cycle from the jetty to the village of Zapuntel and back to Molat. We then set sail again and head for the island of Zverinac. Dinner on board and overnight stay in Zverinac.

After breakfast, we weigh anchor and set sail for Božava on the island of Dugi Otok. The island got its name „long island“ for a reason – with a length of around 44 km, it is often only a few hundred meters wide. We unload the bikes from the deck and set off for the Veli Rat lighthouse, which marks the north-western end of the island. We then continue to Brbinj, where we have lunch on board. After lunch, you can decide whether you want to continue by bike or by boat to Sali, the main and administrative town of the island of Dugi Otok.

After breakfast, we cycle from Sali to the Telašćica Nature Park, an approximately 8 km deep bay in the south of the island. Here we take a walk past lush Mediterranean vegetation to the saltwater lake, which is connected to the sea underground. From here, we also reach the cliffs, which are up to 161 m high and offer breathtaking views of the sea. After returning to Sali, we set sail again and enjoy lunch on board. After a break for a swim, we set course for the Kornati Islands National Park and enjoy the tranquillity of the national park, which consists of 125 mostly uninhabited, sometimes barren islands and islets. After a good four hours we reach Šibenik.

After breakfast, we travel up the Krka River and moor in Skradin, just before the Krka waterfalls. We cycle to the „Skradinski Buk“, at 800 m the longest and probably most famous part of the waterfalls. An impressive natural spectacle, as here the Krka falls in 17 steps with cascades up to 100 m wide. After a stop in the area of the waterfalls, we cycle back to Skradin to have lunch on board. Then it‘s up to you again to decide whether you want to take the boat directly to the popular vacation resort of Vodice or cycle up the 100-metre-high Mount Okit and then to Vodice.

Today we first get to know a coastal strip with numerous offshore islets – from Vodice we cycle to Tribunj. This picturesque little town is located on an island that is connected to the mainland by a natural stone bridge. After a break, we continue to Tisno, where we take a coffee break. In Tisno, a lift bridge takes us to the island of Murter, and we cycle along the sea to Betina. Betina is a place with a long tradition of wooden shipbuilding and here we also have the opportunity to visit the museum of wooden shipbuilding. Our tour continues to Murter, where we have the opportunity to have lunch. Then it is only a few kilometers to Podvrške bay with a beautiful pebble beach, where our boat is already waiting for us.

After breakfast, the boat takes us to Biograd na moru in just over an hour, where we unload our bikes again. We cycle first to Pakoštane and on to the ornithologically significant nature and bird sanctuary of Lake Vrana (Vransko jezero). In the village of Vrana, we stop for lunch at the former caravanserai Maškovića Han, which was built in the 17th century when Vrana was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Maškovića Han is now a heritage hotel and restaurant, where we have the opportunity to have lunch. We then sail along Lake Vrana via Pakoštane back to Biograd. We set sail again and cross over to Tkon on the island of Pašman, just 15 minutes away.

Today we „cycle“ to two islands at once - Pašman and Ugljan. From Tkon, we cycle via Pašman to the bridge that connects the two islands. At lunchtime we arrive in Preko, where we have lunch on board our boat before enjoying a last swimming break. We then cross over to nearby Zadar, where our tour guide awaits you for a guided tour of the old town, which is situated on a peninsula and surrounded by mighty walls.

Disembarkation takes place after breakfast until 09:00. Afterwards you start your individual journey home.
