Details
Experience a magical evening aboard our pirate boat on this dolphin watching boat trip in Vrsar! We welcome you with an aperitif and set course towards the open sea. On the way you will have a great panoramic view of the towns of Poreč and Rovinj on the western coast of Istria.
As we move away from the coast, the most exciting part of the trip begins: watch out for the friendly dolphins that live here in the Adriatic Sea. You will get the chance to see them up close as they swim around our boat and jump out of the water.
On the way back to Vrsar, you will observe the evening sun illuminate the picturesque coastline. With a glass of Istrian white wine in your hand, you can sit back, relax and end the day in this very special atmosphere.

The boat tour was a fantastic experience for our family. We didn't expect to see dolphins so quickly. We saw so many of these beautiful animals, and the crew was incredibly kind and respectful in their interactions with the dolphins. It was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend the tour. Thank you so much for everything!

Our "captain" went out of his way to make sure we saw dolphins. He kept heading in the direction where they were, but maintained a great distance so as not to scare the animals (unfortunately, this wasn't the case with other tour operators).
The dolphin watching trip is definitely recommended. With children, there were only 15 of us! 👍🏼
