Dugi otok is the largest and most diverse island in the Zadar archipelago. Stretching over 40 kilometers, it offers dramatic sea cliffs, hidden coves, turquoise lagoons and peaceful island villages — all within reach of Zadar.

On the island’s northwestern coast lies the famous Sakarun beach, known for its shallow turquoise waters and sandy seabed. Nearby, the equally stunning Veli Žal beach offers crystal-clear water and a quieter atmosphere, surrounded by untouched Mediterranean landscape.

Further south, the protected area of Telašćica Nature Park reveals dramatic limestone cliffs rising high above the open Adriatic and the unique saltwater Lake Mir. Along the coastline, you can also explore hidden military tunnels carved into the rock during the 20th century, adding a fascinating historical element to the island’s wild scenery.

For those seeking something different, the underwater wreck of the Michelle offers an exciting stop for snorkeling enthusiasts, while secluded bays along the western coast provide perfect spots for anchoring in complete privacy.

A private boat tour to Dugi Otok allows you to combine natural beauty, history and adventure in one unforgettable day at sea.
