3.Zadar: Sunset Cruise on Traditional Boat with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 168 reviews · from $40

Join an English-speaking crew aboard Branimir, a 120-year-old two-masted wooden boat, for a 90-minute sunset cruise from Zadar’s lighthouse pier. You’ll see the old town from the water, listen to music, and help yourself to unlimited white wine, juice, and water. Weather can change the schedule.

“The wooden ship was beautiful and the trip around the harbour was just the right duration. The day we took the cruise didn't have the most spectacular sunset I've seen in Zadar but it was still well worth the journey. The price was good value and I'd recommend this excursion.”

In a small group, we tasted four wines accompanied by Dalmatian prosciutto, cheese, and bread. We also sampled olive oil made from olives grown on the estate during the wine tasting and were given a small bottle as a gift at the end. It was an experience we would love to repeat!”
