"Driver was very friendly and accommodating. Asked us what we expect and want. Explained the tour to us in perfect English.
Stopped at a few points and told us about them, such as the Leutturm or something about mussel farming.
He made 2 stops for the children, where the focus was more on refreshing and jumping in, and at the 2 stop he showed the children where you can see a lot when you snorkel.
He also adjusted the speed to suit us."

"I would absolutely recommend this boat ride. We were skeptical if we would eincounter dolphins or a nice sunset (there was an unusual cloud cover) but in the end we saw both: dolphins from a distance and a gorgeous sunset. It lasted a bit longer than advertised, I think because the boat crew were waiting for everything to come together. The boat crew were very friendly and everyone felt comfortable, welcomed and relaxed."
"Very nice tour around the islands. The skipper stopped every now and then and told us something about the history and current situation. Everything was in English, but that's not a problem for most people. Highly recommended 😊"
"Booked a dolphin speed tour for 1h30. We were out for ~2 hours. Great dolphin scout - you could almost touch the dolphins. Great sunset.
Great overall experience for the whole family. Very good value for money.
Highly recommended."
"The boat tour is recommended, friendly captain. We saw dolphins and experienced a beautiful sunset on the sea. On the way back we had Fanta, water and beer."
"We had a wonderful tour with lots of dolphin sightings. The guide was very attentive and tried to get us into a good position without getting too close to the dolphins. The engine was stopped whenever possible."
"With the aim of spending a relaxed and at the same time eventful day and getting to know the beauty of the Istrian coast, we booked the private boat tour as a family of four. To put it bluntly, we are still absolutely thrilled about this day. The reasons for this can be summed up briefly as follows:
- Goran and Alexa's boat is very well maintained and clean
- both Goran and Alexa are incredibly friendly and considerate (communication in German and English is easily possible)
- all of our questions about flora and fauna were answered brilliantly by Goran (he is a biologist); he dived especially to show us sea cucumbers, sea urchins, a starfish, etc.; During a short shore excursion we were also shown fossilized dinosaur footprints
- great interaction with children
- the selected spots for diving/snorkeling and swimming were fantastic - we saw lots of fish in the crystal clear water
- excellent catering (fruit skewers, a great snack platter with regional specialties) including cold drinks - water, cola, Fanta, beer, wine - nothing was missing
As already mentioned, it was a fantastic and highly recommended day trip that is more than worth every cent! Many thanks to Goran and Alexa for that!
Should we ever find ourselves in Istria again, we will definitely do another tour with Ventus Rosa!"
