Local tips
- Book boat tours in advance, especially during peak season, to secure your spot and often get better prices.
- Bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water, as shade is limited on the islands.
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on uneven terrain if you plan to hike.
- Consider visiting in the shoulder season (mid-September to early October) for fewer crowds and pleasant weather.
- Purchase park entrance tickets online in advance to save money compared to buying them within the park.
Getting There
-
Boat Tour
The most common way to reach the Kornati Islands is by organized boat tour from nearby coastal towns. Many tours depart from Zadar, Murter, Šibenik, and Biograd na Moru. From Zadar, boat tours typically cost between €30-€60 per adult, including park entrance fees, lunch, and drinks. The journey to the islands takes approximately 2-3 hours. From Murter, which is closest to the archipelago, boat tours are shorter and may offer more flexibility. Prices vary depending on the duration and inclusions. Consider booking in advance, especially during the peak season.
-
Private Boat/Charter
Alternatively, you can rent a private boat or charter a yacht to explore the islands at your own pace. This option offers greater flexibility in terms of itinerary and duration. Bareboat rentals (without a skipper) require a valid boating license. Prices vary depending on the size and type of boat, as well as the season. If entering the national park with your own boat, you must purchase entrance tickets. Prices vary depending on the size of the boat and the time of year. As a general indication, expect to pay from €46 for smaller boats. Tickets purchased online in advance are cheaper than those bought within the park.
