Our tour starts in Brbinj, a small village on the coast of Dugi Otokn (paid parking at the port). This means that you'll have to take the ferry from Zadar to Brbinj on your own. But don't worry, we'll let you know where exactly to meet us and we'll be waiting for all participants right at the ferry stop on the island.
- Tour:
Once everyone has found us, we'll hop in our van and, after a short 15-minute drive, we'll arrive at our first stop of the day, an amazing wild beach: Veli Žal. Here, your group will get to choose whether they want to relax at the beach, swim around, explore the beach with the kayaks or join your guide on a kayak ride around Mezanj, an island right opposite the beach. Right at the beach, you also have the possibility to eat and drink at the beach bar. After approximately 2 hours, we'll take the van to Brbišćica Bay where we'll paddle into an awe-inspiring sea cave - cliff jumping and swimming included. The cave even has a special feature: it changes colours depending on the angle of the sunlight incidence! If we still have time after the sea cave, you might be lucky enough to explore another beach and cave and paddle around in your kayak.
- Return:
Once the tour is over, we'll take you back to the ferry stop in Brbinj where you'll take the ferry back to Zadar.

Our tourguide, I think his name was Ivan (he is also a nurse) was amazing and gave us an amazing experience. He spoke perfect English, helped us with everything we needed help with and he was very kind and enthusiastic. Really recommand the tour as we got to see parts of the island and have experiences we never would have had otherwise.
