Meet at Obala Maršala Tita 148 in Vrsar at 6 pm for a 90-minute search for wild dolphins. Your skipper, possibly Peter or Matteo, explains dolphin behavior and keeps a respectful distance while you watch the pod and sunset from a speedboat.

“Wauw! We’ve had such a great time! Everything was arranged perfectly and ofcourse, we saw the dolphins. We booked our tickets online and received an email with all the details where to start etc. When on the speedboat, our guide Peter told us a lot about dolphins, and that you better let them come to you, instead of chasing them, attract them.
