Meet at Obala Maršala Tita 148 in Vrsar at 6:00 pm for a shared speedboat search for wild Adriatic dolphins. Your English-speaking skipper, sometimes Peter or Matteo, looks for the pod, explains dolphin behavior, and keeps a respectful distance as the sun sets.

“Really good trip. We had some wind and therefore a somewhat troubled ride. In no way something we became unsure about. It just gave an extra dimension. Spent a really long time sailing back and forth to find dolphins. Successfully after 1.5 hours to find some... The sunset and sailing saved us not to see "many" dolphins.Auto-translated”

Our skipper was also very friendly and knowledgeable and all communications with Andana with regard to the booking were great.”
