3.From Poreč: Evening Dolphin Cruise with Welcome Drink

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

Board Victoria Tours at Poreč for a two-hour evening cruise in search of wild dolphins. You will receive a welcome drink, watch the Istrian coast from the water, and may see dolphins near Poreč and Rovinj. Guides speak Croatian, English, German, and Italian.

“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.”
