“We had Honey & Umaim as our tour guides and Boat No. 54. We had such a nice experience, we left a little later than the crowds so each island we went to wasn’t packed. They did everything to accommodate us, and everything was super smooth. Finally we ended the day watching the sunset, they put on music which fit the vibe & was just the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this trip and especially with honey & the boat 54 team!”

Rovinj: Sunset Speedboat Tour with Dolphin Watching

15.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. Cruise past Rovinj’s old town and nearby islands, pause to search for dolphins, and watch the sunset over the Adriatic. 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.”
