Wild Bays of Krk: Small-Group Boat Tour from Punat

The bays you want are only reachable by boat.

A small-group boat tour departing Punat harbour that takes up to nine guests to Golden Bay, Long Bay and other remote beaches on Krk Island accessible only by water. You choose how long to stay at each stop and whether to swim, snorkel or sunbathe during 2.5 hours of beach time. The boat includes a local captain who speaks English, German, Croatian or Hungarian, and the flexible schedule means you set the pace.

Step-by-step itinerary

Boat tour of Krk Island bays

• Start at Punat harbour
• Enjoy 30-minute panoramic boat ride
• View Krk city and rock formations
• Visit multiple bays accessible only by boat
• Swim and snorkel for 2.5 hours
• Relax and sunbathe at chosen beaches

The experience

The boat leaves Punat harbour and spends 30 minutes cruising past the neighbouring island, distant Krk city and the island's rock formations before reaching the first bay. Golden Bay and Long Bay are the draws (both famous, both unreachable by road), but the captain will show you other options too. You pick which beaches to visit and how long to stay at each one. Some people spend all 2.5 hours at a single bay. Others move between three or four. The boat holds only nine guests, so the group stays small enough to change course if someone wants to try a different beach or skip a stop.

Swimming and snorkeling happen at your pace. The captain is a local who knows the island and can point out what makes each bay different. The tour runs about 3.5 hours total, with the boat ride, the beach time and the return journey all built in. Private transportation is included, and the pace is flexible enough for anyone who wants to relax on the water or stay active in and out of the sea.

Both are accessible only by boat, which keeps them quieter and more remote than the main beaches. The boat also lets you reach smaller coves and rock formations along the coast that have no road access.
