“Magical experience watching the sun rise with dolphins being seen all around us. I was desperate to do the tour again but the next boat out was after we'd left Rovinj. really loved the fact that this wasn't a touristy event allowing the dolphins to behave naturally without the presence of many boats. Our skipper was also very friendly and knowledgeable and all communications with Andana with regard to the booking were great.”
