Short description

Start your day with a truly unique dolphin-watching experience in Rovinj. Enjoy the sunrise as numerous dolphins gather around fishing nets, attracted by small fish in the water.

Long description

Sunrise & Dolphins Tour is one of the most impressive dolphin-watching experiences you can have in Rovinj. The tour takes place early in the morning, a few miles offshore near local fishing boats, when the sea is calm and the atmosphere is truly special.
You can enjoy this experience in a more personal way by choosing a shared small-group tour (max 10 guests) or a private tour.
After around 20–30 minutes of cruising, we reach the area where fishing boats are working with their nets.
Dolphins are often very active around this area, gathering close to the boats and moving energetically through the water. Because of this, it’s common to see many dolphins swimming nearby, jumping, and sometimes passing close to or even under our boat. Fishing boats also attract other marine life, such as tuna and large groups of seagulls, creating a lively sea scene.
During the tour, your skipper will share interesting facts about dolphins and explain how local fishing boats operate. As you watch this unique morning activity, the sun slowly rises behind the hills, making the experience even more unforgettable.
After approximately 45–60 minutes, we head back toward Rovinj, enjoying a beautiful sea view of the Old Town in the soft morning light.
The tour starts about 45 minutes before sunrise, with multiple pick-up locations in Rovinj available.
If dolphins are not spotted, you can join the next tour for free.
