FAQ
Where do Bonaca Escape tours depart from?
Most of our tours depart from Foša Harbor in Zadar Old Town, one of the most picturesque meeting points on the Adriatic. For cruise ship guests, we can arrange pickup directly at the port where your ship is docked. Depending on your accommodation and itinerary, alternative pickup locations may also be available.
What islands can I visit on a boat tour from Zadar?
Our tours explore the most beautiful parts of the Zadar Archipelago, including Ugljan, Ošljak, Dugi Otok, Kornati National Park, Sakarun Beach, hidden bays, sea caves, and many off-the-beaten-path locations that are difficult to reach without a boat.
Are your tours private or shared?
Most of our experiences are private tours designed exclusively for your group. We also offer selected small-group tours during the season for guests looking for a more affordable way to explore the islands.
How many people can join a private tour?
Our private tours can accommodate up to 10 guests comfortably aboard our speedboat. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a group of friends, you’ll enjoy a personalized experience tailored to your interests.
What is included in the tour price?
All tours include a professional local skipper, fuel for the planned itinerary, snorkeling equipment, sea scooter (on selected tours), bottled water, soft drinks, beer, wine, and local recommendations. Full-day experiences also include a complimentary Dalmatian brunch on board.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of a private boat tour is flexibility. We can adjust the route, swimming stops, sightseeing locations, lunch arrangements, and pace of the day according to your preferences and weather conditions.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety and comfort always come first. If sea or weather conditions are unsuitable, we will either suggest an alternative itinerary, reschedule the tour, or provide a full refund if the tour cannot be operated safely.
