For more detail, see our dedicated [Kornati day trip guide].

Half-day Pasman + edge of Kornati

Better for kids and shorter on time. Departs harbour mid-morning or after lunch, 4-5 hours total. Includes:

  • Cruise to a quiet Pasman cove
  • 1-2 swimming stops
  • Snack and drinks on board
  • Park edge views without going deep into Kornati

Cost: 35-45 EUR per adult, kids half price.

Recommended over the full Kornati day if kids are under 8 or you want a relaxed afternoon rather than a full-day expedition.

Sunset cruises

2-3 hour evening cruise. Departs 5-7 p.m. depending on the season. Includes:

  • Cruise into the Pasman channel
  • 1 swimming stop in a quiet cove
  • Drinks and a small snack
  • Slow ride back at sunset

Cost: 35-50 EUR per person shared, or 150-250 EUR for a private 2-hour trip with a small boat.

Best season: May, June, September, October when the sunset light is most dramatic. Booking a day ahead recommended.

Glass-bottom boat and short rides

Glass-bottom boat tours from the town beach in Biograd run 1-2 hours, depart on the hour in peak season. 15-25 EUR per adult, kids half price. Kids love seeing the fish; less spectacular for adults but pleasant.

Banana boat and inflatable rides from the town beach - 8-12 EUR for 10 minutes. Loud, fun, kids 5+.

Parasailing from the town beach - 50-70 EUR per person for 10-15 minutes. Available in peak summer only.

Private charters

Half-day private charter (4-5 hours) with a small boat and skipper: 300-500 EUR per group (up to 8 guests).

Full-day private charter: 600-1,000 EUR per group.

What you get: pick your own itinerary (Kornati, Pasman, secluded coves), flexible schedule, often a guide who knows quiet spots, lunch options. Worth the price for a group of 6-8 sharing the cost.

Several local skippers run private charters; ask at Marina Kornati or your villa host. Most need 24 hours notice; some are bookable same-day in shoulder season.
