What To Expect
Kornati Islands National Park
Experience a scenic ride through the breathtaking national park, cruising beneath dramatic cliffs with spectacular views of the majestic Klobučar – the highest cliff in the area. Around 11:15, we enter the tranquil central channel where a lunch will be served on board as you relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings. After lunch, the journey continues towards the charming Church of Our Lady of Tarac, followed by a cruise past the historic 16th-century Tureta Fortress.
Our Lady of Tarac on the island of Kornat is a one-nave late Romanesque church built on an early Christian basilica site, most probably from that older church's remains. Once a year, on the first Sunday in July, masses are held here. Then hundreds of boat anchors in the bay for blessing, which, in addition to religious significance, also is a tourist attraction. Once upon a time, the feast was only agricultural, and only the field was blessed. As the farmers gradually turned to the sea and fishing, the blessing spread to the sea and ships.

Nice relaxing outing to see the islands

4.00It was a very nice outing! The tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and they went around with extras of everything in case you were still hungry! They also had a choice of fish or chicken. There was not quite enough good seating for everyone up top so if you want a good seat outside, get to the boat early.
Perfect from start to finish

5.00This was my first experience of Kornati and I am so happy I chose Destina for that. It was smooth sailing, pleasant company on the boat, great food and by the end of the day I had a feeling like the crew was my family. I will definitely do this again!
Unforgettable day with Destina!

5.00We booked the Kornati & Telašćica tour with Destina, and it honestly exceeded all our expectations. The boat was super comfortable, the crew friendly and professional, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Sailing through the Kornati National Park felt unreal, the islands are wild, raw, and absolutely breathtaking. The guides shared so many interesting stories along the way, pointing out hidden coves, cliffs, and landmarks we would’ve never noticed on our own. Thank you, Destina, for an amazing day at sea. We’ll remember it forever! 💙

5.00It was the best experience we had in Vodice! I travelled with friends, and we decided to spend one day on a boat — and choosing Destina for our cruise was the best decision we could’ve made. We don’t regret a single moment. It was worth every penny. From the friendly and professional staff, to the stunning cliffs of Kornati, to the view on Telaščica — everything was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended!
Beautiful trip.

5.00The trip was amaizing. I was with my family and we had so much fun! The nice lady Josipa sold us the tickets and told us many details about the trip. Thanks to Destina for the amaizing trip to Kornati and Telašćica!
Disappointing and Overpriced Experience

2.00Unfortunately, this trip did not live up to expectations and felt significantly overpriced. For €80, you spend about 6 hours on a boat mostly staring at the same repetitive scenery. While the views of Kornati might be interesting for the first hour, the long, unchanging landscape quickly becomes monotonous — three hours sailing there, and another three hours back. The lunch provided was very basic and honestly not enjoyable. My friend chose the fish and I had the chicken; neither of us liked our meals. Only white wine and mineral water were offered as complimentary drinks, which felt very limited for an all-day trip. There were no desserts or additional options. Around noon, we stopped at Telašćica, which was a beautiful place, but sadly the only stop on an 8.5-hour excursion. That alone makes it feel like poor value for money. During the boat ride, we heard the same pre-recorded audio messages about the surroundings, which were hard to hear and not particularly engaging. With no live guide, no onboard entertainment, and unreliable Wi-Fi (despite them advertising it), there was very little to do. On the way back, most people just slept — which says a lot. If they’re going to charge €80, they should seriously consider improving the experience: offer better meals (with dessert options), a wider range of drinks, and some form of entertainment or live commentary. As it stands, I would not recommend this tour — it felt like a long, dull day with very little return on investment.
Great experience! ...

4.00Great experience! We ate well, the staff was great. Beautiful scenery. We spent a pleasant time on island (sea swimming and salt lake). Only small downside: about 6h of boat in total
Overpriced.

3.00The ship is nice and clean, the stuff was very friendly, many islands that we saw on the way are very beautiful. The rest of the trip was average for an above average price. Not sure if a licenced tour guide, that agency advertises, was on the ship at all. Boring prerecorded messages in six different languages were occasionally played on the speakers. Lunch is served at 11am, which might be convenient for the stuff, but not so convenient for us. In summary, this is an overpriced taxi service with a meal included (never before I got sparkling water served in open jars) that takes you from point A to point B and back, through a breath taking scenery.
