The Experience

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to expect from a tuk tuk tour in Zadar. The driver—Mario, who grinned like he’d just heard the best joke—pulled up right outside my apartment. That’s how it started: me fumbling with my bag, him waving me over like we were old friends. The tuk tuk itself was open-air and kind of squeaky, but you could smell the sea even before we left my street. We zipped through Arbanasi and past Kolovare Beach, where a couple of kids were already splashing around even though the water looked cold. Mario pointed out a bakery that’s apparently famous for its burek (I still regret not stopping).

The city gates came up fast—stone arches with old Venetian carvings that Mario told me were built in 1543. He pronounced “Kopnena vrata” slowly so I could try saying it (I failed; he laughed). There was this salty wind blowing in from the marina as we rolled along the Coast of Duke Trpimir, and you could see boats bobbing against each other, ropes creaking. At one point he started telling me about a Sphinx statue and some buried treasure legend; I only caught half of it because a seagull nearly landed on our roof. So yeah—not your average city tour vibe.

When we got to the Sea Organ, I actually stopped talking for once. You don’t expect music from under your feet—the sound is weirdly soothing and haunting at the same time. Mario said Alfred Hitchcock called this sunset the best in the world; I can’t argue after seeing all that pink light bouncing off glass plates at Greeting to the Sun next door. We wandered through Old Town after that—past St. Donatus church and into the Roman Forum where locals sat on ancient stones like it was nothing special. It’s hard to take yourself too seriously when you’re sitting next to two thousand years of history.

I still think about that first note from the Sea Organ echoing through my chest—it felt like Zadar itself was breathing underneath us. If you want something quiet but alive (and don’t mind a bit of wind in your hair), this eco tuk tuk tour is honestly worth it.
