I rented inflatable stand up paddle boards and it was a super easy. I called ahead, gave them my name, and then picked up the boards which took about 10 minutes. The boards came with a pump, paddle, and wet bag.

Fun Bike Tour Fun few hours touring Zadar by bike. Got to cover a lot of ground in a short time. Views from the overlook of the city was worth the ride up hill. Only wish we would have had an e-bike option.

zzuum is the only place in Zadar where we could rent an e-bike (besides a touring bike) in october 2022. The bikes were in perfect shape. zzuum gave us bike bags, locks, tools and offered helmets. We got a lot for our money. The first evening we didn‘t know how... read more read less

Friendly staff, good quality bikes and they give you maps with any kind of directions or informations you need like ferry timetables. They also give you a bike bag to attach at the back which I found useful to carry the beach stuff and drinks.

Highlights

Fort St. Michael is situated 265 m above sea level. It dates from the 13th century when it was a Venetian fortress. However, today it is not a fortress any more but a popular viewpoint. There both locals and tourists come to enjoy the view over the beautiful Zadar channel.

This picturesque little island is located in the vicinity of the town of Nin. In fact, during the low tide, you can reach it on foot, as it becomes a part of the mainland. If you want to learn more about local traditions, join the annual pilgrimage to Our Lady of Zečevo and enjoy the hospitability of the local people.

Three Islands Tour will lead you to the island Pašman. It is a part of the Zadar archipelago and attracts lots of tourists every year. Sandy beaches, homemade wine and olive oil, hospitable locals and amazing nature are only some of the reasons why you should visit Pašman.
In conclusion, don’t miss this gem!
