Our crew will give you an introductory briefing so you’ll know what to expect and what is the best practice for responsible dolphin watching. It’s very important to us not to disturb the animals with our boat but to watch them in their natural habitat.
Please remember—we’re the visitors, the dolphins are our hosts.
As we make our way out from Marina Polesana to the open sea, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Pula’s highest sea cliffs.
Once we’re away from the coast, our crew will start searching for dolphins in the calm waters around the islands—an area where dolphins are often spotted on the surface or located with the use of specialised acoustic technology. Our average sighting rate for bottlenose dolphins on this trips is over 80%.
With their playful and acrobatic natures, bottlenose dolphins bring a smile to everyone’s face. Sometimes we just can’t tear ourselves away! These curious sea creatures may even approach our boat and bow-ride, or show us their cool tricks, if we’re lucky. Get your camera ready!
During an encounter with dolphins, we photograph cuts and scars on their dorsal fins, which are unique to each dolphin, like a fingerprint. Bottlenose dolphins usually live in the same habitat so no matter how many times you come back, you’re likely to reunite with the same group of dolphins!
This trip also gives you the opportunity to learn about the bottlenose dolphins and other cetacean species that can be found in the northern Adriatic. As we cruise, we’re always happy to share fun and fascinating facts about dolphin behaviour and their ecosystem.
Our experienced skipper will take you to the best dolphin-watching spots at sea, so your chances of seeing dolphins are high. However, if there are unexpected cases and you’re unable to see the dolphins, you can sit and relax while enjoying the panoramic cruise around the pearls of National Park Brijuni and peacefulness of being at sea as the flaming sun melting into the never-ending horizon. We hope you’ll return to Marina Polesana with memories of these jubilant animals swimming through your head.
