Skip the road — take the scenic route by sea. A passenger-only catamaran runs seasonally between Zadar and Pula, offering a relaxed alternative to the highway. The journey takes about 4 hours 45 minutes, but it’s a great way to see the coastline without the hassle of traffic or transfers.

It’s a direct route, but only in season. This Zadar to Pula ferry usually runs from late spring to early autumn, with the first sailings starting around May and the last ones in September or early October. There’s no winter service, so plan accordingly.

Book in advance — it can fill up fast. The Zadar Pula ferry route is popular with both locals and travelers. Tickets can sell out quickly, especially in July and August, so booking early is a smart move — especially if you’re on a schedule.

You can book online or at the port.  Tickets are available online through the ferry operator’s site or platforms like Traveling.com (pretty convenient, right?). You can also buy them at the port, but expect lines in peak season.

No cars — foot passengers only. The ferry Zadar Pula is a fast ferry, that is, a catamaran — so, no vehicles allowed. If you’re traveling with a car, you’ll need to take the overland route.

Bringing furry travel buddies? Check the rules first. Most operators allow small pets in carriers or on leashes, but always check the policy during booking. If pets are permitted, look for the paw icon when buying your ticket.
