At first to the positive things:
The guy at the Elegance Tour office was very friendly and helpful. Also the stuff on the ship was very dedicated.
We also got from the tour office free snorkeling gear, an action cam and a SUP paddle which was in the price included.
Food was included on the ship.
Negative:
This trip has nothing to do with a snorkeling trip. You just go with a big boat with a lot of passengers 4 hours to Dugi Otok and there you can spend 2 hours where you can go to a saltwater lake, which is not that nice.
In the saltwater lake you can‘t snorkle and also in the port where the boa stopped snorkeling is not nice.
With the entrance fee of the kornati national park the price is about 50€ per person so its not that cheap.
We would not book this trip for another time but we can recommend the travel agency.

Thank you for your review . You are right about everything , this time our boat that goes to a great snorkeling spot did not go and we had to go with the other company which goes to the salt lake . It looks like that was no good option and we are sorry . But , it still was a nice trip and we are glad you liked it .

Best trip!! Amazing to see different islands around Zadar. Spent time exploring crystal clear waters, exploring old churches/ fortress, swimming in salt lakes, donkey sanctuaries, restaurants and bars. 3 hours to travel to islands. Breakfast and lunch included. Wine and shots provided. Staff very friendly and used maps and took time to discuss the islands surrounding Zadar. I would recommend to go, amazing views!

We booked our cruise with Elegance Tours who supplied the booking and provided snorkeling gear. Friendly and helpful welcome the night before to pick up snorkeling gear. The tour was well done with competent staff. The water was great and we had a good time. Only criticism would be that the boat serves lunch at 2.00 pm and then gives extra time before departing another 2 hours later at 4.00 pm. Most of the guests just waited on the boat for that time. The company needs to understand that having provided the excursion, the swim time 1300-1400 and then lunch, they have delivered the service and should just head back rather than wait until 1600.

Go to kornati islands, they are beautiful but i would advise hiring a smaller boat. Too crowded once you get there. Also they did not provide you with water all day and it was very expensive to buy. They did not cater for my vegetarian diet and gave me crappy salad. Avoid, especially during high season.

Dear Alexandra ! The reviews of all our customers speak for themselves . How come everyone else likes the food and gets water for free during the excursion but only you didn't ? We even have photos of a vegetarian plate on the same boat and even the same day ! So , sorry if you did not like it , next time choose an excursion that suits you better. Because lone travelers are usually different and very demanding.

The trip does not take you snorkeling in Kornati.
Travel agency hands you simple snorkling gear, along with a go pro. Send you alone to the port where another boat company meets you. Boat ride is two hours with music or the driver's choice, and three announcements made throughout explaining what we were passing.
Left us off for lunch on the island of dugi Otok and swimming with little instruction or direction. Two hours of swim then two hours back including a stop for ice cream.
If you like an active trip or if you want to snorkle in Kornati, don't do this trip.

Lovely boot tour. The guy from elegance tours informed us perfectly and was very friendly. The cd-rom with the footage of the gopro you get on the snorkeling tour is a nice plus!

does not correspond at all to what was sold to us by the beater on the beach of Zadar. we were told two 2-hour breaks on beautiful beaches. in the end 1 break 1: 45 on a very small beach while we are more than a hundred passengers. everyone piled on each other. then a stop of 1 hour in Sali, where it is a port and there is nothing interesting to see or do. the meal was ok, thankfully the staff are very nice and welcoming. for a full day trip there is not much going on there.
in other words, false advertising

Like many others, we did the Kornati Islands tours I. Zadar. In fact, we did what was the last tour for the year. Still, living in London, the weather was amazing and we really enjoyed ourselves. We even swam at one of the stops. Not bad for being so late in the year!
Checking the various trips with different tour companies, it became apparent that they all sold the same trip, so the main difference was price (more or less the same) and the service from the tour companies. Elegance Tours service was by far the best. Quick to respond (to each of my queries) and very friendly (much more than anyone else). We're sure to come back to Zadar and I'm happy to know that I know where to go to for trips next time!

Basically a ferry tour with a few stops, but 10 hours a long time for what you get to see. Snorkeling area very bad and no equipment provided
Pretty scenery but could all be done in less than 3 hours
