2.Poreč: Dolphin Spotting Cruise with Included Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 255 reviews · 2 hours · from $35

Meet the English-speaking guide at Poreč port and board the wooden Fjera for a two-hour cruise along the Poreč Riviera and West Istria. You will search for dolphins in the open sea while enjoying unlimited wine and water. Sightings are not guaranteed, and weather can change the schedule.

“Byla to naprosto úžasná zkušenost! ❤️ Kapitán i celá posádka byli neuvěřitelně milí, ochotní a profesionální – od začátku až do konce se starali o to, abychom si plavbu užili na maximum. Servis na lodi byl skvělý, všechno probíhalo s úsměvem a příjemnou atmosférou. A ten největší zážitek? Delfíny jsme zahlédli už po prvních 20 minutách plavby! 🐬 Bylo nádherné sledovat je tak zblízka v jejich přirozeném prostředí. Moc děkujeme celé posádce za krásný den na moři, určitě doporučujeme každému, kdo chce zažít něco výjimečného.”

3.From Poreč: Evening Dolphin Cruise with Welcome Drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 93 reviews · 2 hours · from $35

Join Victoria Tours in Poreč for a two-hour evening cruise aboard a traditional wooden boat. Sip a welcome drink, watch the Istrian coast from the water, and search for dolphins near Poreč and Rovinj. A captain uses local experience to find the animals, and a second sailing is offered free if no dolphins appear.

“We saw dolphins and a lovely sunset as we came back. I think we could have done with the trip being a little later to get full sunset. The first welcome drink was just a bottle being placed on a table, it was unclear that you were supposed to help yourself. Some of the people on our tour left their manners at home but that isn't the fault of the tour operator, however sadly does impact on overall experience.”
