Travel Tips: Pula to Zadar Ferry

No outdoor seating, but you can sometimes step out. The Zadar to Pula ferry doesn’t have a deck with chairs, but some ferries have a small area at the back where you can stand outside for a bit. It’s not always open — depends on the boat and the weather.

Snack bar on board? Usually, yes. There’s often a café counter where you can grab a coffee or something light to eat. Still, it never hurts to bring your own water or snack.

Booking online? Definitely. Buying your Pula to Zadar ferry ticket online is super easy — you can do it right here on our website or via our app (how convenient, right?). It saves you from waiting in line at the port and you don’t have to worry about the tickets selling out.

How far ahead should I book? In summer, Pula Zadar ferries fill up fast. Booking a couple of days in advance gives you peace of mind, especially if you’re planning a same-day return or connecting trip.

Arrive early and relax. Aim to be at the terminal about 30 minutes before departure. You’ll have time to check in, grab a seat you like, and settle in before the ferry leaves.

Best views? Sit on the left. Heading from Pula to Zadar by ferry, the left side (port) is where the views are — island scenery, coastal towns, and the best part of the approach into Zadar.

Day trip? Technically possible, but it’s a long one. The Pula Zadar ferry trip takes about 4 hours 45 minutes each way, so a day trip is technically possible — but it makes for a long day. If you can swing it, an overnight stay in Zadar is totally worth it.
