  Zrmanja

  Why You’ll Love It From the moment we set off, you’ll be surrounded by peaceful landscapes and postcard-perfect views that feel almost unreal. We begin by sailing through the incredible Zrmanja River Canyon — a true natural masterpiece. The canyon walls soar over 200 meters high, creating a dramatic, jaw-dropping backdrop as we cruise along a 6-kilometer route filled with vibrant colors and pristine scenery. It’s the kind of beauty that leaves you speechless. We’ll stop for a swim right where the Zrmanja River meets the Novigrad sea — a magical spot known as the Zrmanja confluence. Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or simply looking to relax and disconnect, this tour is pure soul food. It’s calm, inspiring, and absolutely unforgettable.

  ️ ️ Lunch with a View – Included in the Price Next, we’ll cruise into the quaint coastal village of Ribnica for a well-earned lunch at the popular Restaurant Kalada. Here, you’ll dine with a stunning panoramic view of the sea as your backdrop — the perfect setting to relax and refuel. Choose from a delicious selection of grilled meat, fresh fish, or pizza (a favorite with the kids!), all served with a fresh seasonal salad. And of course, no Dalmatian meal is complete without a glass of local house wine or refreshing juices — the perfect taste of true coastal hospitality.

  Maslenica Bridge

  Bridges, Bays & Swim Stop After lunch, we fire up the engine and cruise beneath the legendary old and new Maslenica bridges — soaring high above the channel, the views from the water are nothing short of epic. As we pass below, you’ll get a unique perspective of these towering structures set against the dramatic backdrop of the Velebit mountains. But we’re not done yet. Next stop: open waters of the Velebit Channel. Here, where the channel meets the Novigrad Sea, we drop anchor for another unforgettable swim.
