Seek out the rare griffon vultures that nest on Kornati's remote cliffs alongside Eleonora's falcons, loggerhead sea turtles, and the endangered bottlenose dolphins of the Adriatic. A naturalist-led boat safari that turns wildlife spotting into genuine conservation storytelling.
What to expect
Departing at first light for the quietest, most wildlife-active hours, you idle quietly along the towering sea-cliff faces where griffon vultures launch into thermal updrafts just metres overhead. The skipper cuts the engine in mid-channel and lets the boat drift while a pod of common dolphins investigates the hull. Polarised binoculars reveal loggerhead turtles basking just below the surface. The naturalist guide discusses the park's conservation projects and what you can do to support them.
Good to know
Early morning departures (07:00–08:00) are essential for best wildlife sightings — confirm timing when booking. Bring a telephoto lens if you have one. The guide can tailor the route based on recent sighting reports. Soft-soled shoes recommended if a short island landing is included.
