Full day boat trip to the Nature Park Telašćica and Island Katina (Kornati) - from Sv. Filp i Jakov & Biograd na Moru

SIGHTS, NATURAL WONDERS & ATTRACTIONS

Telašćica Nature Park - covers 70.5 km2, of which only 25.95 km2 is land and 44,55km2 sea area, including 13 islands, islets and rocks emerging from the water. Its centre is Telašćica bay with the largest depth of 67m- a natural, safe haven for boats.

The park area is a mosaic: calm, enchanting coves, huge, breathtaking rock walls, pine and oak forests, clearings, vineyards, olive groves and rocky hills with Mediterranean vegetation, which includes more than 400 species of plants, many rare and endemic. In the sea, we will meet about 250 species of plants and 300 species of animals, including beautiful red corals or carnivorous sponges.

Also, a donkey has found its home in Telaščica (about 14 animals). Animals freely walk between visitors in the areas around Mir bay and salt lake. Those places are well known to everyone from the advertising photographs of the Park. The lake is home to an endemic species of eel called "cayman", and the mud from its bottom has healing properties.

You can climb the high rock walls near the lake, falling vertically into the sea. They make a huge impression both when we are at the top of them and when we sail by boat at their feet. The highest wall in the Park –Grapšćak- is 161m high above the water surface, and the largest depth "under the walls" reaches 85m. This incredible natural wonder was created by tectonic movements, pushing huge vertical shards of rock upwards and is now the nesting place of many birds, including falcons.

Katina Island is a hidden gem within the Kornati archipelago. Known for its unspoiled natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, Katina offers a serene escape for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat. The island is characterized by its lush greenery, rocky coastlines, and crystal-clear waters, making it a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
