Watch Adriatic bottlenose dolphins at sunset on a two-hour cruise from Fazana into Brijuni National Park, with guides, drinks, and onboard restrooms.
“The cruise generally met our expectations. The highlight was the beautiful views of the sunset over the sea, which were truly unforgettable. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see any dolphins, but the presence of a pleasant and funny guide more than made up for it. The free drink described turned out to be water or Coke served from an open 1.5L bottle into a plastic cup. Considering the price of the cruise, it would be a nice touch to offer small cans or bottles of beverages—just a suggestion for the future. Despite these minor remarks, the cruise was an enjoyable experience and I can definitely recommend it.Read more”
