Practical information
If you're dreaming of exploring the Adriatic Sea north of Pag Island, this boat tour from Lun is a perfect way to immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Croatia’s coastline. Whether you're staying in Lun or opting for a transfer from Novalja, this full-day excursion invites you to discover two stunning highlights of the region: the Zavratnica Nature Park and the island of Rab.
Your journey begins at the port of Tovarnele in Lun, a peaceful harbor nestled on the northern tip of Pag. For those based in Novalja, a transfer is available to take you comfortably to Lun, where you'll join the rest of the group before boarding the boat. Once on board, the Adriatic adventure begins as you sail away from Pag Island toward the dramatic mainland coast, with the first stop at the breathtaking Zavratnica Nature Park.
Zavratnica is a narrow, 900-metre-long inlet carved into the cliffs, known for its crystal-clear waters and the haunting sight of a sunken World War II warship resting beneath the surface. This peaceful bay is perfect for taking in the views and snap a few photos of one of Croatia’s hidden treasures. From Zavratnica, the boat tour continues across the Adriatic to the southern shores of Rab Island, where the sandy beach of Pudarica invites you to relax and swim.
While anchored off Rab, a delicious lunch is served on board the boat. You can choose between a fish, meat, or vegetarian menu, all prepared fresh to accompany your day at sea. After lunch, the boat heads to the heart of the island, docking near Rab Town, a charming old city with a rich history.
Here, you’ll have free time to wander through Rab’s cobblestone streets, discover its Romanesque towers and medieval architecture, or simply enjoy a coffee overlooking the Adriatic. Once everyone is back on board, the tour makes one final swim stop at the secluded Mata Bay, near Lun, where you can take a last dip before returning to the port.
Operating throughout the year, with the Mala Maris boat used in July and August, and the Sardina boat for the rest of the season, this boat tour through Croatia’s Adriatic coast offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and relaxation. With space for up to 55 guests, it’s an ideal way to experience the beauty of Pag, Rab, and Zavratnica in just one unforgettable day at sea.
Don't wait and book your boat tour to discover the Zavratnica nature park and the island of Rab!
