About this experience
This boat trip around Poreč offers an unforgettable dolphin watching experience in the beautiful region of Istria. Departing from the port of Poreč, you will embark on our wonderful wooden boat and you will directly be treated to a panoramic view of the stunning Istrian west coast.
Have your cameras ready as we search for the friendly and intelligent bottlenose dolphins which are often spotted in this area. Observing these majestic creatures swimming and jumping in their natural habitat will leave both children and adults speechless. Keep in mind that dolphins are wild animals, and therefore we are not guaranteed to see them on every single trip, however the likelihood is very high.
Sip on a glass of exquisite local wine or refreshing juice, and soak in the breathtaking views of the Poreč Riviera and the Adriatic Sea.
