Meeting and Pickup
PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY: - Our skipper will pick you up at the VERY END of the pier at the time the activity starts (+/- 5 minutes depending on the pick up location). SEE BELOW THE STARTING TIMES BY PERIOD. - The skipper will send you a message on WhatsApp (or email) the evening before the tour starts so you will have his phone number in case you need it in the morning. - If you haven't selected any pick up location please send me your approximate location by email or WhatsApp and I will send you the nearest pick-up location. - The boat is not located on the pier and the skipper will come just to pick you up. - I recommend to bring sunglasses, long sleeves and/or a wind jacket and a beach towel because it's cold on the sea early in the morning and the cushions on the boat can be humid.STARTING TIMES: 1.6-25.6 at 4:30h 26.6-11.7 at 4:40h 12.7-22.7 at 4:50h 23.7-31.7 at 5:00h 1.8-9.8 at 5:10h 10.8-17.8 at 5:20h 18.8-25.8 at 5:30h 26.8-2.9 at 5:40h 3.9-11.9 at 5:50h 12.9-19.9 at 6:00h 20.9-27.9 at 6:10h
What To Expect
Sunrise Dolphin Watching is the most spectacluar dolphin watching experience in Rovinj.
It takes place few miles offshore near the fishing boats early in the morning.
We give you the opportunity to live this unique experience in an intimate way with our shared (small group of max 10 people) tour.
After 20 to 30 minutes of navigation we’ll approach the fishing boats while they are pulling out the fishing net.
The dolphins get excited by the huge amount of fish and they are circling around the net trying to grab some fish.
This is the reason why they are so numerous during this tour and it’s very common to see dolphins jumping and passing close or even under our boat. The fishing boats are also attracting other marine life like tunas and numerous seagulls.
The skipper will explain the most interesting facts about dolphins and how the fishing boats work. While you are watching the dolphins and fisherman at work the sun will rise behind the hills making this experience even more memorable.
After approximately 45 to 60 minutes we’ll head back and you will enjoy the view of the charming Rovinj old town from the sea.
If we don’t see dolphins, you can join us for free on the next tour.
