Dinner on board and overnight stay in Zverinac.

After breakfast, we weigh anchor and set sail for Božava on the island of Dugi Otok. The island got its name „long island“ for a reason – with a length of around 44 km, it is often only a few hundred meters wide. We unload the bikes from the deck and set off for the Veli Rat lighthouse, which marks the north-western end of the island. We then continue to Brbinj, where we have lunch on board. After lunch, you can decide whether you want to continue by bike or by boat to Sali, the main and administrative town of the island of Dugi Otok.

Here we take a walk past lush Mediterranean vegetation to the saltwater lake, which is connected to the sea underground. From here, we also reach the cliffs, which are up to 161 m high and offer breathtaking views of the sea. After returning to Sali, we set sail again and enjoy lunch on board.

After breakfast, we travel up the Krka River and moor in Skradin, just before the Krka waterfalls. We cycle to the „Skradinski Buk“, at 800 m the longest and probably most famous part of the waterfalls. An impressive natural spectacle, as here the Krka falls in 17 steps with cascades up to 100 m wide. After a stop in the area of the waterfalls, we cycle back to Skradin to have lunch on board. Then it‘s up to you again to decide whether you want to take the boat directly to the popular vacation resort of Vodice or cycle up the 100-metre-high Mount Okit and then to Vodice.

Today we first get to know a coastal strip with numerous offshore islets – from Vodice we cycle to Tribunj.
