3.Sunset Speedboat Tour with Dolphin Watching

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 89 reviews · from $35 a head

Set out from Villas Rubin with an English, Italian, or Croatian-speaking skipper.

The small speedboat offers a more personal ride than a large sightseeing boat, though some time may be spent gently bobbing offshore.

“Dolphins were there in the distance, but you could barely see them. The best part was the speedboat, even though it didn't last very long. 2x 15 min sailing, 2x 30 min bobbing in the sea.”
