Šibenik from the water, with a swim first
This is the short one, and it starts with a swim. We leave the riva and head straight out through the St. Anthony Channel to a spot outside it, picked on the day for wind and sea. Snorkel gear, paddleboards and underwater scooters come out.
Then the sights, properly, on the way home: the 16th-century St. Nicholas Fortress (UNESCO-listed and only really visible from the water), then 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. Two hours, and a cold drink if you want one.

Is this the right tour for you?
Best for

- Cruise ship passengers with a few hours in port
- Families with younger kids who don't want a full-day commitment
- Anyone who's already seen Šibenik from land and wants a different angle
