Nota bene is a Zadar-based tour operator that organizes small-group sea and city experiences across the Adriatic and the city of Zadar.
The company offers a variety of guided trips including sailing excursions, snorkeling and swimming tours, an island day to Kornati and Telašćica, private charters, and a semi-submarine sightseeing option. Land-based experiences include eco Tuk Tuk city tours, a beer-tasting Tuk Tuk, a romantic sunset sail with wine, and a military-history Tuk Tuk led by a retired Croatian Army major. Trips run from comfortable vessels and Tuk Tuks with attention to safety and guest experience. Group sizes are kept intimate—many excursions limit bookings to a maximum of eight participants—allowing personalized narration, flexible stops for swimming and snorkeling, and hands-on guidance from local skippers and guides. The Kornati and Telašćica day trip highlights natural features such as Telašćica’s Salt Lake; the Yellow Semi‑Submarine provides panoramic underwater views of Zadar’s seabed without diving. Nota bene emphasizes local knowledge and small-group formats to deliver focused, memorable outings for visitors who want a mix of nature, culture, and relaxed sailing. The mix of boat-based and Tuk Tuk experiences suits travelers seeking both coastal exploration and short, eco-friendly city tours. Most descriptions note clear water, scenic island views, and guided storytelling; booking details and exact itineraries are available through official channels. Reservations, languages offered, and specific departure times are published on Nota bene's official booking pages and online.
