Šibenik from the water, in an hour

This is the short one. We leave the riva and head out through the St. Anthony Channel, past the 16th-century St. Nicholas Fortress (UNESCO-listed and only really visible from the water). On the way back, we pass Hitler's Eyes, the local nickname for the two dark tunnel mouths cut into the cliffs, built by German forces in WWII and later expanded by the Yugoslav navy as submarine pens. They look exactly like the name suggests.

Then a slow loop along the Šibenik coast and back to the riva. It's an hour. There's no swim stop. There's a cold drink if you want one.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a swim stop?
No. The Panoramic is one hour, all sightseeing. If you want to swim, the Riviera or Kornati are better fits.
Can I do this with small kids?
Yes, it's the easiest tour we run. Short, calm, and the boat is small enough that nobody feels lost.
Why is it called Hitler's Eyes?
The two tunnel entrances in the cliff face look like dark eyes from the water. The bunkers were built by German forces in WWII and later turned into submarine pens by the Yugoslav navy. The name is local; we didn't invent it.
Is the D-Resort pickup included?
Where operationally possible, yes. Confirm with us on WhatsApp when booking.
Are towels included?
No, and on a 1-hour tour you probably won't need them. But bring one if you plan to swim before or after.
