Nous avons fait une excursion à la journée dans les îles Kornati avec Jure de Dalmatia Adventures. Que du positif !
Son bateau étant puissant, la traversée se fait rapidement contrairement à certains autres (gros) bateaux.
De plus le groupe est restreint puisqu'il n'y a une capacité que d'une dizaine de places.
Quand à notre skipper, à la fois professionnel et très sympathique. Sans compter le fait qu'il parle parfaitement le français, ce qui est un grand plus pour notre visite.
Concernant les Kornati, ça restera un des coups de cœur de notre voyage en Croatie.
Bref, une excellente journée !

This adventure worth the price. The guide was very kind and helpful. He told us many information about the kornati islands and the natural parks. He ordered us food in a very good restaurant on phone to save us time for swimming and snorkeling. Fast travel by speedboat with a small group. We were in both parks telascica&kornati. Absolutelly recommended for all! We saw the difference between the large tourist ships and this service is much more recommended than the excursions advertised by others! Thank you very much for the stunning experience

Very nice tour. You arrive at the park before the big crowds arrive. Lunch at a friendly family owned restaurant and snorkeling in a private island. We enjoyed it a lot.

I was able to book somewhat last minute before flying back home, and Yvonne was super accommodating via Messenger. She was able to confirm the next day after my message, and I made sure to bring the exact amount of Kuna for this tour. I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting her after the 8-hour tour I booked, and she is simply lovely. Jure was fantastic as well! Very knowledgeable about the Kornati islands and the history that took place which made the tour even that more interesting. He sterred the boat in such a professional fashion that it was obvious he had been sailing for a good portion of his life and made for a comfortable ride (even when going fast). The scenery is like nothing else! So many little islands, rock formations, cliffs, different bird species, fish species and various water depths that give you a gorgeous deep blue color to light tourquoise..sometimes all within the same small area! If you'd like to gain an extra hour of freetime during your lunch break to spend snorkling or exploring a secluded island, I would highly recommend bringing your own lunch/snack with you. I am so glad I did :-) Otherwise, there is a restaurant on a nearby island that Jure will take you to and then to this beautiful little island afterwards for about an hour of looking around/going into the water. I cannot thank both Yvonne and Jure enough for this unforgettable tour. The next time I'm in Croatia, I'll be booking one of the longer tours with them. Thank you both again!

On the last day of the Creation God desired to crown His work and thus created Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath". (George Bernard Shaw, the Irish writer and Nobel laureate) And rightfully so, it is a truly unique, breathtaking experience. Jure and Yvonne are excellent hosts and organizers. We had no trouble with booking or contacting them, extremely available and helpful. Jure is a magnificent guide and skipper, not overbearing, but helpful and knowledgeable. Took us to places which were rich in natural and historical beauty. They have a small boat, in total we were 7 visitors so it felt cosy and personal, not at all like the "tourist trap" fish picnic jumbo boats. I do recommend sports clothing, hiking shoes, sun cream and a wind stopper+hat for the boat ride on the open sea (at least out of season). "Ko je Bog na zadnji dan stvarjenja sveta želel okronati svoje delo, je ustvaril Kornatsko otočje iz solza, zvezd in daha". (G.B. Shaw, irski pisatelj in Nobelov nagrajenec) In res so otoki in otočki neskončno lepi in odvzamejo dah. Jure in Yvonne sta odlična gostitelja, nikakršnih težav pri komunikaciji in logistiki obiska. Jure, domačin in morski volk, s svojim gliserjem varno brzi med otoki in res razkaže najbolj slikovite in zanimive točke. Zelo razgledan, nevsiljiv in simpatičen vodnik. Čisto drugačno doživetje kot tiste "fish piknik" barkače za 200 ljudi s kričeče glasno muziko. Nas je bilo 7 (večina njunih gostov je francosko govorečih) in to ustvari bolj intimno, toplo in prijateljsko vzdušje, kar samo prispeva k celotnemu pozitivnemu vtisu. Priporočam športna oblačila in obutev, kremo za sončenje in jakno+pokrivalo za vožnjo po odprtem morju. Najlepša hvala Jure in Yvonne! Vidimo se još :-)

We booked 2 different kind of "adventures" : 1) MTB ride around Vransko Jezero lake : just amazing! It's a 42 km trip round the lake but really worth the effort. We booked 4 bikes from Yvonne, she took the time to explain the road and gave us a map and helmets. Roughly 15 km into the trip, we got a flat tyre, but 1 phone call to Yvonne and after 20 min's we were back on track, thanks to Jure! Make sure you take plenty of water and a pick nick! 2) Boattrip to the Kornati Islands: We had a fantastic day with Jure our personal guide & captain. He knows his way arround the Kornati Islands. He showed us some beautiful places and spots. We even got the change to swim & snorkel along with some beautiful fishes. During the trip Jure tells about the history of the Islands. We had a fantasticday!! Thx Jure & Yvonne! In short, Yvonne & Jure can offer different way's to explore the Kornati Islands & surroudings!
Kornati Tour, totally worth it :)” by Beatriz M
I am so glad I took the daytrip to Telascica and Kornati with Dalmatia Adventures from Pakostane! It was one of the highlights of my 2 week trip in Croatia! I was coming alone and in the boat there were other 6 people from France, Jure did all the explanations in French and English which is really impressing!! Everyone was delighted. First we arrived to Telascica by boat and stopped there. After a brief explanation we could go on foot to take magnificent pictures of the cliffs and then to have fun in the salt lake, where small crabs can eat your dead skin. We had enough time there and it was a lot of fun. =) After this, we took the boat again and headed to Kornati. First stopping in an island with a church, we could go on top of a very old fortress and take nice pictures from above. Also with extensive explanation by Jure. Then, we travelled for more 10 minutes and arrived to another island, where we could eat the food we brought and do some snorkeling, which was pretty cool because the water was full of fishes. It is just recommended to take some special shoes to protect yourself because in the path to enter the water, it was full of sea urchins, a bit scary but we all survived without harm. :D I must say that the timing of the excursion was PERFECT, because when we arrived to all places, they were empty!! The tourists were coming exactly when we were leaving each place, that was so cool!! We had all places for ourselves. We were literally the only ones in the salt lake and then snorkeling with the fishes. I can only recommend this day trip to anyone for a really intimate and fun experience, there I took the most beautiful pictures of Croatia I have taken during my trip. It is my favourite national park now, even better than Plitivce (because Plitivice is full of tourists and Kornati I had basically for myself :D).
“Seuls dans les îles en plein moi d'août”by Bidouille90
Excellente journée dans les îles Kornati dans un bateau de 7 places... Il y avait plus de 2000 personnes dans les îles et nous avons quasiment été toujours seuls au monde.
Baignade dans le lac salé (moins de 10 personnes), visite des ruines byzantines (notre groupe), escapade sur une île et baignade (uniquement notre groupe). Très agréable...Des paysages magnifiques, des explications claires et très bien documentées. A recommander, absolument
“Boattrip to Kornati Islands”by Matthias B
Was a great trip, perfectly organized, very informative. Jure is an awesome tourguide. See you on our next holiday in croatia :)
“You owe yourself this personalized adventure!”by Diane B.
This couple knows how to guide a first-class adventure. Local to the area, Jure & Yvonne can read what you want and deliver: boating, kayaking, snorkeling, biking. We spent 10 hours and 100 kilometers on the Adriatic with Jure, who took us around Kornati National Park, stopped for snorkeling, hiking, eating local foods, sipping local wine and learned about the history, geology, culture of Dalmatia. Absolutely fantastic.
“Absolut empfehlenswert!" by annagalunder Graz,Austria”
Der Tagesausflug mit Jure ist ein absolutes Highlight unseres Urlaubs gewesen! Die Tour ist wirklich wunderschön, man sieht Inseln und kommt an Orte an welche man mit einem klassischen großen Touristen-Boot nie kommen würde. Jure ist einheimisch und hat daher einige interessante Dinge zu erzählen, und kennt die besten Ort zum Essen, Schwimmen, Tauchen....
Nach einem ersten Stopp am Silbersee ging es weiter zum Essen in einer wunderbaren kleinen Bucht. Danach brachte uns Jure auf eine private Insel welche einem seiner Freunde gehört und es bar der beste Platz zum Schnorcheln den wir bis jetzt gesehen haben!
Danach ging es mit Voll-Speed wieder zurück nach Pakostane! Ein absolut gelungerer Tag!
“Superbe journée !” by sabinetOliver
Pour découvrir les îles et les parcs naturels des Kornati et de Telastica loin des pièges à touristes.Une journée bien remplie et où alternent découvertes, commentaires intéressants et détente. Ambiance sympa et détendue. A conseiller sans modération.
"Absolut empfehlenswert" by Andrea Parnack
Vielen Dank Yvonne und Jure für einen wundershönen Bootsausflug zur Inselwelt(Kornaten)vor Pakostane.Jederzeit gerne wieder
“Een heerlijke ontspannen en leerzame dag” by MrCats
Wij hebben met Jure een dagtocht gemaakt naar het national park Kornati. Jure is zeer vriendelijk en deskundig. Met zijn speedboot ben je vanuit de haven van Pakostane
snel op de bestemmingen en daar kan hij boeiend vertellen over de historie van deze eilandengroep. Wij raden een trip met Jure van harte aan.

Auch mein Mann Peter und ich waren mit DALMATIA ADVENTURE zu den Kornati-Inseln unterwegs. Es war traumhaft schön. Toller Reiseführer. ..Tolles Erlebnis. Immer wieder gerne
“Bike rental” by Chris M.
My girlfriend and i visited the dalmatia adventures booth in pakostane for bike rental. Costs 10 euros per bike per half day. Bargain for what you get, top of the range bike. There office is open from about 8 am to 12 pm then the woman comes back at like 6pm till 10.30pm. So plan your trip accordingly. Most roads are flat so very pleasant to ride. Uphills are pretty short in the town areas but would be classed as steep. If your not able to climb then its an ok climb up, the bikes are really light!

“Une sortie aux Kornati”
Cette sortie en mer au départ de Pakostane est un grand moment de bonheur.
Nous avons profité de la sympathie, de la compétence et des connaissances (géographiques, historiques et culturelles) de notre "captain - guide" Jure.
La visite de quatres des îles de l'archipel des Kornati nous a permis de découvrir une nature extraordinaire et des lieux fascinants.
Cette journée en mer est un des plus beaux souvenirs de mes vacances estivales.
Cette belle ballade avit bien préparée par Yvonne.
Yvonne et Jure sont les meilleurs ambassadeurs de ce beau coin de Croatie.

"Magnifique journée”
Inutile d'aller chercher ailleurs si vous souhaitez visiter les Kornatis en comité restreint. Jure et Yvonne sont un sympathique couple parlant français qui vous proposent de vous servir de guide et de skipper à bord de petits bateaux rapides pour passer une journée au milieu des îles. Vous en verrez beaucoup lus que dans un des gros bateaux à excursion. A choisir surtout si vous n'avez jamais visité les Kornatis, ça vaut vraiment le détour. Nous nous sommes également adressé à eux pour louer un kayak à la journée (tarif très intéressant) pour une ballade au milieu des îles et un pique-nique sur une plage déserte. Très beau souvenir.
