Meet the dolphins in their own home.
We take you out for calm bottlenose dolphin watching in the waters around the island of Vrgada — aboard a comfortable, spacious boat, with local guides who know these waters.
Respectful watching, a memory that lasts.
We don't chase dolphins or stage a "show". We approach slowly and let the natural encounter happen on its own.

Sea-first ethics
We never chase or disturb them — we let the encounter happen naturally, following guidelines for watching marine mammals.

What our guests say
The most magical and amazing experience, I nearly cried. I've always dreamed of seeing dolphins and this was such a beautiful and memorable experience. One of the dolphins came right up to the boat, we could hear him making adorable squeaking noises. Truly amazing. The guide was kind and told us about his home island which was near where we saw the dolphins. Instead of addressing the whole group he would come round and chat with you individually in smaller groups which felt lovely and personable. Highly recommend!
Wir haben eine Famile von 6 Delfinen gesehen, die Delfin Kinder haben einige schöne Sprünge gemacht und wir konnten wundervolle Fotos schießen. Ich haben einiges über die dort lebenden Delfine erfahren. Der Guide und die Crew sind respektvoll mit den Tieren umgegangen, man hat das Gefühl das sie von allen geschätzt und gemocht werden. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Ausflug. Jederzeit und immer wieder gern.
Réservation pour le 9 avril mais reportée au lendemain par l'organisateur pour météo plus favorable. Tout a été parfait. Équipage aux petits soins (boissons, petits gâteaux) qui vous emmène au bon endroit pour voir les dauphins et n'hésite pas à persévérer pour pouvoir les rencontrer. On a été comblés. Ils ont nagé devant le bateau, c'était très beau. Je recommande cette excursion.
Geweldig! Erg indrukwekkend! Mooi in het wild!
War ein schönes Erlebnis ☺️🐬
Très bien.. Bon accueil et dauphins au rendez-vous.
Reviews from GetYourGuide
Vrgada is our home — and the base of the oldest active fishing cooperative on the Croatian islands.
We sail the waters around the island of Vrgada, which we've known for generations. Behind us stands a fishing cooperative running since 1909 — the oldest still active on the Croatian islands. Every tour carries a piece of that story.

Meet the bottlenose dolphin
The common bottlenose dolphin is the Adriatic's best-known resident and the species we most often meet on tours. Here's what's good to know.
Up to 4 m
Adults grow 2.5–4 m and weigh 150–300 kg.
40–50 years
That's a bottlenose dolphin's lifespan.
Year-round resident
The only dolphin living in the Adriatic all year long.
Live in pods
Highly social; they communicate by whistles and echolocation.
Fish & squid
The core of their diet in the Adriatic.
Strictly protected
A protected species in Croatia — we watch from a distance.
Dolphins are magnificent wild animals, and no one controls how they behave. Sometimes they play, leap and race the boat; sometimes they have other plans — and that is exactly what makes every encounter real and unforgettable.
