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.
We don't chase dolphins or stage a "show". We approach slowly and let the natural encounter happen on its own.
A spacious boat with a WC and a covered salon for up to 50 people — shelter and comfort even when the weather turns.
Skippers and guides who grew up on this sea and know where and when dolphins usually appear.
We never chase or disturb them — we let the encounter happen naturally, following guidelines for watching marine mammals.
We sail a spacious, stable boat with plenty of room, shade and shelter — comfortable for families and larger groups.
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
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.

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.
Adults grow 2.5–4 m and weigh 150–300 kg.
That's a bottlenose dolphin's lifespan.
The only dolphin living in the Adriatic all year long.
Highly social; they communicate by whistles and echolocation.
The core of their diet in the Adriatic.
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.
Our departure harbour is in Biograd na Moru, easy to reach by car or on foot — and perfect as a day trip from nearby towns.
Parking is available near the harbour. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure.
A relaxed pace with plenty of time for watching the dolphins. Details may adapt to weather conditions.
We set off at 8:00 am from the harbour in Biograd na Moru, with a short route and safety briefing.
About 40 minutes through the Pašman and Vrgada channels — views of islands, coves and clear sea.
We look for bottlenose dolphins for 1 to 1.5 hours. Once we find them, we follow their lead — sometimes they come right up, ride alongside and race with the boat, sometimes we simply watch from a respectful distance.
An easy cruise back along the same route; we're at the harbour in Biograd by 11:00 am.
