Tour Highlights
Take in a few of the 140 breathtaking islands of Kornati National Park with beautiful coastal swims and circumnavigations
Discover vivid underwater views and a wealth of caves, grottoes and otherworldly karstic scenery
Travel to remote swim spots and complete a full circumnavigation of the small islands of Brusnjak and Borovnik
After your swims, relax in the laidback Hotel Sali - just a few steps from the beach!
Swim between the Italian and Balkan peninsulas in Croatia's warm, clear Adriatic Sea. It’s here, in the northernmost reaches of the Mediterranean, where we’ll discover the scattered islands of Kornati National Park. Kornati’s 140 islands are known for their lunar-like appearance, as well as having a wealth of caves grottoes and otherworldly karstic scenery. It’s the perfect setting on Croatia's famous Dalmatian Coast to stage a varied range of unforgettable swims.
This part of Croatia also enjoys superb water clarity and the islands, islets, and bays we’ll visit - not only in the Kornati National Park, but also the Telašćica Nature Park and wider area - offer hundreds of swimming options and secret treasures to uncover.
With so many natural wonders to find, both above and below water, your swims give you a very rare opportunity to reach places few will have ever been before you and make your own unique Dalmatian discoveries.
