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.

One of the best dolphin trips I have been on. The whole experience was very calm, peaceful and sympathetic to both the fisherman and the dolphins. Martin our skipper was great and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

Magical experience watching the sun rise with dolphins being seen all around us. I was desperate to do the tour again but the next boat out was after we'd left Rovinj. really loved the fact that this wasn't a touristy event allowing the dolphins to behave naturally without the presence of many boats. Our skipper was also very friendly and knowledgeable and all communications with Andana with regard to the booking were great.

Very good - Family friendly, would do it again, we highly recommend it. The guide prolonged the trip to make sure we‘ve seen a lot dolphins, my wife & the kids loved it. On a side note: even adjusting the trip (sun rise to sun set) due to unforeseen circumstances (algae) was no big deal and worked out perfectly.
