Overview

Spend an unforgettable day at sea and visit the island of Rab and the islands of Grgur and Goli! Enjoy the swim stop on the beautiful sandy beach of San Marino on the island of Rab and in the bay Lisicnjak, one of the most beautiful beaches between Punat and Stara Baska, accessible only by sea. You can also swim on the islands of Grgur and Goli, which we will visit and get to know their interesting and difficult history.

On this trip we will touch the shores of 4 so different islands - Krk, Rab, Goli otok and Grgur, swim on 4 beautiful beaches, learn a lot about history, and most of all enjoy the magnificent and so diverse nature.

Encountering fallow deer and a colony of seagulls is also a special experience, and with a little luck, you may also encounter dolphins that live here as well as griffon vultures that nest on the shores we pass. This trip is extremely rich and an unforgettable experience for the whole family.

We will set sail in the morning at 9:00 from Punat and in an hour and a half, we will arrive on the island of Grgur where we will stay for about an hour. On the island of Grgur, you can take the opportunity to take a short walk with the captain to learn about the history of the island, which during communism served as a prison island for women - political prisoners. Today, the islet of Grgur is known for the fallow deer that live there and that you will probably meet and be able to feed, which is always a special experience.

We continue sailing to Goli Otok, about half an hour away. Goli otok occupies a special place in the collective memory of Croatia. It was a notorious penitentiary for political prisoners from 1949 to 1988. We will stay on Goli Otok for 2 hours, during which time we will visit an abandoned prison with a guide. On Goli Otok, we also have lunch on the boat and a break for swimming.

Lunch is on board. For lunch, you can choose between fish, meat and veggie menus. If you do not write differently in the additional notes field while making your reservation, a fish menu will be ordered for you.
Fish menu: mackerel fillet, potatoes, and mixed salad. Meat menu: mixed meat (pork and chicken), potatoes and mixed salad. Veggie menu: veggie falafel with potatoes and mixed salad. One drink is included in the price (water, wine or juice), and you can order more drinks at the boat bar at an extra price.

This is a very interesting opportunity to get to know Goli otok - an islet that fascinates with its striking raw beauty - it is called Goli (naked) for a reason - it is almost devoid of vegetation due to exposure to the strong wind - bura. Goli otok leaves a strong impression primarily as a witness of the times. A visit to Goli Otok always leaves a deep impression!

After visiting Goli otok, we continue to the island of Rab, which, unlike Goli otok, is very green and covered with forests. It will take us about 20 minutes to reach the famous sandy beach of San Marino where we have planned to stay for about an hour and a half for swimming. Swimming on this famous and beautiful sandy beach is a real pleasure…

After San Marino and the island of Rab, we return to the island of Krk, along the way we pass the small island of Galun where you will have the opportunity to feed a colony of seagulls that live there. The moment when we are surrounded by a flock of seagulls is very special and unforgettable…

We are now sailing along the west coast of Krk, known for its unique beaches, accessible only from the sea. We have chosen Lisičnjak Bay for you, where we have a break for swimming for about half an hour. You will enter the sea through the ladder from the ship. Swimming on Lisičnjak is a true delight and a great way to complete this extraordinary trip.

The price includes: boat ride, lunch (meat or fish) and a guided tour on Goli Otok.

Tutto molto bello e interessante come escursione. Personale cordiale in particolar modo il capitano. Abbiamo visto le due prigioni femminili e maschili, fatto il bagno in acque limpide e cristalline…ecco io avrei evitato Rab perché sinceramente con il bellissimo mare della Croazia, la spiaggia dove siamo stati ben due ore era super affollata e l’acqua identica a quella di Jesolo se non peggio.. avrei preferito trascorrere lì mezz’ora, mentre due ore nella Fox beach vicino la Golden Beach. Comunque esperienza fantastica, abbiamo visto i delfini e visto i gabbiani che in volo prendevano il cibo dalle nostre mani. Il pranzo che ci è stato fornito era molto buono. Una escursione sicuramente da fare ma ripeto, prevalenza a spiagge che meritano, quella di Rab decisamente no. Complimenti all’equipaggio!!!

We had a fantastic day on boat with Captain TV & his crew. All of them were friendly and helpfull. The visits to the two prison Islands (Grgur and Goli Otok) were very interesting - dark history you might say. We had a super lunchbreak with a well prepared meal - very tasty. We stopped for diving and swimming several times - all beautiful places. And all day long: The blue, blue sea. Its just amazing! And just to top it off: A dolphin paid us a visit on the way back. Thanks for a fantastic day!

Mark

We've really enjoyed the trip, the staff was friendly, the lunch was terrific

Thomas

War eine schöne Bootstour mit schönem Schiff und guter Crew. Der Strand in Rab ist nicht unbedingt besuchenswert. Viele Leute, sehr flaches Wasser.......... . .

Jasminka

Krasan sunčani ljetni dan proveden na ovakvom jednom izletu zaista je bio pun pogodak. Pohvala ljubaznom osoblju i dobroj organizaciji, hrana je bila izvrsna, a krajolik zaista prekrasan.

Uživali smo u svakome trenutku. Vrlo ljubazno osoblje, lijepe lokacije i fina klopa.

Vanela

Definitivno predivan izlet, posada super raspoložena , vodić odličan, strpljiv za ispričati sve na svim mogućim jezicima. Ručak dobar, vino top ( žlahtina ). Definitivno od mene velika preporuka ????????????????????????

Maja

Odličan izlet, prihvatljiva cijena i super usluga za cijenu. Djeca su uživala, sadržaj je primjeren svima, ručak je prefin, vodiči i osoblje Lahora su super. Svakako za preporučiti.

Der ganztägige Bootsausflug nach Grgur, Goli Otok und zur Insel Rab an den Badestrand von San Marino war ein super Ausflug mit den Kindern und Freunden. Der Kapitän Tvrtko und seine Mannschaft haben alles gegeben damit der Ausflug zu einem Erlebnis wurde. Zuerst besuchten wir die Insel Grgur wo früher das Frauengefängnis war, im Anschluss fuhren wir weiter auf die Insel Goli Otok wo uns der Kapitän einige Sachen erklärte zur Vergangenheit und der Geschichte der Insel Goli Otok was sehr interessant war. Wir hatten dort einen Aufenthalt von 90 Minuten also genug Zeit um mit dem Bummelzug eine Runde über die Insel zu fahren und uns alles genau anzusehen. Während wir auf der Insel waren, bereitete die Schiffsmannschaft das vorher bestellte Essen vor. Was reichlich war und sehr gut schmeckte. Meine Frau hatte Fisch und ich das Fleischgericht und im Nachhinein bereue ich das ich nicht auch den Fisch genommen habe. Zu dem Essen gab es auch ein Getränk dazu. Während wir gegessen haben fuhr der Kapitän Richtung Insel Rab nach San Marino weiter. Dort angekommen hatten wir die Möglichkeit am riesigen feinen Sandstrand wie in der Karibik zu baden. Das Wasser war sehr warm und flach. Also ein Traum auch für kleine Kinder wie unseren Sohn 17 Monate der noch nicht schwimmen könnte. Nach gut 90 Minuten Aufenthalt sind wir wieder Richtung Punat auf der Insel Krk aufgebrochen und haben auf der Rückreise das Meer und die Sonne genossen. Kurz vor Punat machte der Kapitän noch einen Badestop an der Küste vor Mala Baska, dort durften sich die mutigen dann ins Meer stürzen. Alles im allen war es ein perfekter Tagesausflug mit dem Boot für die Kindern und unsere Freunde. Wir werden das sicherlich wiedermachen und mit dem Schiff Lahor und seinem Kapitän Tvrtko in See stechen. Wir können es nur empfehlen Sie werden es nicht bereuen! Viele Dank an nochmal an die Mannschaft der Lahor und Mare Tours.

Der Ausflug war wie angeboten mit leckerem Essen an Bord auf Goli Otok. Leider ist auf Goli Otok nur 1,5 Stunden Zeit - hier kann man nur einen sehr kleinen Teil sehen, was schade ist. Der Strand auf Rab ist ein Sandstrand, der sehr lange, sehr flach ins Meer geht. Der Stopp ist m.E. nicht notwendig, außer man hat Kleinkinder dabei. Sonst lieber länger auf Goli Otok oder 2 weitere Buchten. Denn der Badestopp in der Bucht mit 8 m tiefblauem Wasser und der Sprung von Bord war toll. Alles in allem eine empfehlenswerte Tour

Rita

wir würden den Ausflug auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Essen hat gut geschmeckt. Insel Goli und RAB hat uns am besten gefallen. Das Baden im offenem Meer auf dem Rückweg hat uns am besten gefallen. Besonders zu empfehlen für Familien mit Kindern. Wir haben im Anschluss noch ein Ausflug mit der Mares Tour gebucht. Von uns ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Familie Borrmann

Der ganze Ausflug war ein Erlebnis für die gesamte Familie. Der Kapitän und seine Crew waren sehr freundlich und vor allem geduldig. Auf den beiden Gefängnisinseln lernt man viel aus der Geschichte des Landes und es ist genügend Zeit, sich selbst ein Bild zu verschaffen. Wer Lust hat und es das Wetter zulässt, kann auch noch baden gehen. Das Essen auf dem Schiff war wirklich prima - besser wie in manchem Restaurant! Danke an den Koch!! Wir sind sogar auf einen kleinen Damhirsch gestoßen und unsere Tochter konnte Möwen aus der Hand füttern. Leider haben wir keine Gänsegeier gesehen und auch keine Delfine, aber das ist ja bekanntlich große Glückssache. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Tag mit vielen Erinnerungen und zum weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank an Mare Tours und die Schiffsbesatzung!

Wir waren voll und ganz zufrieden ????

Sofia

È stata una bellissima esperienza. Un giorno in barca per visitare le varie isole, meravigliose le isole, spiegate benissimo, i ragazzi sanno tutte le lingue. Pranzato sulla barca con dell'ottimo pesce fresco (c'era la possibilità di scegliere anche la carne). Rientro con il botto! Ci siamo fermati in una caletta a tuffarci dalla barca. Spettacolo! Ne vale davvero la pena!

lucia

Bellissima escursione, si riesce a fare il bagno in posti incantevoli dove altrimenti sarebbe impossibile andare senza barca, durante la navigazione il panorama è meraviglioso. il capitano fornisce spiegazioni in tutte le lingue. Il pranzo (pesce alla griglia) ottimo e cotto alla perfezione. Peccato che le varie soste non possano essere un pò più lunghe ma è cosi che si riesce a vedere diverse cose. Escursione che consiglio, assolutamente adatta a tutti.

Resinger

Absolut empfehlenswert. Das Mittagessen ist sehr lecker und an Board haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

We bought our tickets personally in the officwe. The staff was helpful and everything went smoothly. The trip was fantastic, we met with a fallow deer, visited the prison island, saw dolphins!!! and I could jump from the top of the boat to the sea when we took a break in one of the small bays. There is only one remark: we had to wait almost one hour for the lunch (which was delicious), so there were not enough time to get around on the prison island. Otherwise I highly recommend this trip.
