Planned Route Description
Starting at 09:00 am or 02:30 pm from Zadar or Petrčane
We depart directly from Zadar or Petrcane to the island of Sestrunj.
The Island Sestrunj – Hrvatinj Bay
The first location is the small island harbour of Hrvatinj, which local residents use for swimming and docking their boats. Sestrunj is a very specific island near Zadar. Its long history dates back to the prehistoric era when the Illyrians, the oldest known inhabitants of these areas, lived on it.
The island is one of the smaller ones, and there is only one settlement on top of the island. Only recently, some residents have built houses in two island ports, Hrvatinj and Kablin, while the third and smallest port, Triluke, remains uninhabited. Kablin is the only harbour for ferry lines, while Hrvatinj is smaller, and only a few local boats are moored there. The harbour is gladly used as a bathing spot with the shade of pine trees. It is located on the northeast side of Sestrunj, offering a beautiful view from the port of the Velebit mountain, Vir and Pag islands, and three small islets known as the Three Sisters. Nature is untouched, with lush island vegetation full of various butterflies in summer. At the same time, the sea is crystal clear with a sandy bottom, meadows of Posidonia seaweed, and occasional rocks, making it ideal for snorkelling, where you can enjoy the view of various fish at depths of only 3-5 meters.
