What Makes the Pirate Ship Trip to Plavnik Island Special?
A full-day experience on a wooden boat with a panoramic ride, swimming and lunch in untouched nature
Discover Plavnik, an uninhabited island situated between Krk and Cres, known for its untouched nature, hidden coves, and rich wildlife.
This full-day boat trip from Punat is a perfect blend of relaxation, light adventure, and sea enjoyment – with lunch included, panoramic sailing, multiple swimming stops, and immersion in nature.
In addition to hidden wild coves of Krk Island, visits to the Blue Cave and Krušija Bay on Plavnik will especially delight you, along with a lunch and picnic in the forest of Plavnik Island.
The Blue Cave is renowned for its spectacular play of light – in the morning and afternoon, sunlight reflects at certain angles, creating blue hues on the water and cave walls.
This natural phenomenon makes the cave extremely photogenic, and swimming inside often becomes the most memorable moment of the day.
You'll sail on an authentic wooden boat, a true pirate attraction, which uses sails in addition to motor propulsion when weather conditions allow – for an enhanced maritime experience.
