Dolphin Tours Istria

We offer private speedboat tours (from 1 up to 12 guests) and shared dolphin tours with our own larger boat. We do not work with other ships, agencies or annoying street and beach sellers. We are an independent boat tour operator and have no connection with other companies boarding guests at our pier. Tickets for our tours are available exclusively at our official port desk or directly via WhatsApp, nowhere else!

Sometimes we receive a bad review that does not actually refer to Dolphin Tours Istria. Such complaints may concern other boats or operators of questionable quality, some of which have no accessible social media profiles where guests can leave feedback. This confusion often happens when visitors purchase tickets from unknown street or beach sellers. Our official desk is located close to the pier, where several different boat operators may board their guests. As a result, visitors sometimes mistakenly believe that all boats belong to the same company and leave their complaints on our profile. Please verify the name of the actual boat company before leaving a review or purchasing your tickets.

ZERO AFFILIATION / (NEVER!)
We have absolutely no connection with annoying beach sellers or third-party resellers.

PROTECT DOLPHINS
Protect dolphins, not mass tourism. Choose responsible dolphin watching and never support chasing or harassing these beautiful animals.

CHECK REAL REVIEWS
Choose wisely. Always read authentic customer reviews before booking your boat tour.

[ .FAQ ]

A Few Answers Before You Book

Where do your boat tours depart from?

Our shared boat tours depart from Funtana All Inclusive Resort. The exact meeting point is available through our website and Google Maps. For private tours, alternative pickup locations may be arranged in advance within the nearby coastal area, including Vrsar, Bijela Uvala, Zelena Laguna etc... An additional pickup fee of €40 applies.

Is the private boat tour price the same for 6 or 10 people?

Our private boat tours have a fixed base price for up to 6 guests, while all our speedboats can accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers. For groups larger than 6, a small additional fee applies for each extra guest: €20 per child (ages 3–11) and €30 per person (11+). This means the final price depends on the total number of passengers, ensuring fair and transparent pricing for every group. Booking directly with Igor also gives you the opportunity to discuss special offers and personalized discounts!

Is parking available and is it free?

Yes! Parking at Funtana Resort is free of charge. Please park your vehicle responsibly in a designated parking space or another clearly permitted parking area. We recommend arriving a little early so you have enough time to park and reach the departure point.

How can I pay for my boat tour?

Payments at our Funtana Resort departure desk are accepted in cash, in euros only. We do not accept credit cards, debit cards or PayPal at the desk. If a deposit is required, Igor will personally explain the booking and payment arrangements during your WhatsApp conversation.

Is a deposit required to reserve a private tour?

Yes. A €50 deposit is required for private boat tour reservations. This helps us secure your preferred date and departure time. Your reservation details and deposit instructions will be confirmed directly with Igor.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your safety always comes first. In the event of strong winds, heavy rain, large waves or other unsafe conditions, the captain may cancel the tour. We will contact you as soon as possible, potentially up to two hours before departure. Whenever possible, we will offer an alternative date. If rescheduling is not possible after a weather-related cancellation by the captain, your paid deposit will be refunded.

Is fuel included in the tour price?

Absolutely! Fuel is included in the advertised tour price. There are no additional fuel charges or any other for your booked excursion. The price agreed upon during your reservation is the total tour price.

Are life jackets provided and are passengers insured?

Yes. Our boats carry safety equipment and life jackets for passengers, including children. Children under four years old are required to wear life jackets throughout the tour. Our boats and passengers are also covered by our insurance policy. Please inform us in advance if you are travelling with very young children.

What should I bring on the boat tour?

We recommend bringing sunglasses, a camera or smartphone, and a good holiday mood! For private swimming or snorkeling tours, bring swimwear, drinking water for children and a light snack if needed. Soft drinks are included on our snorkeling tours 3+ hours and on our shared dolphin tour. During the late season, especially after September 20, we recommend bringing a light jacket because it can become cooler at sea.

Can I change the date of my reservation?

Yes, date changes can be requested at least two days before your scheduled departure. All changes depend on availability. During the busy summer season, we strongly recommend contacting Igor as early as possible through WhatsApp.

Can I cancel my booking and receive a deposit refund?

Deposits are generally non-refundable for guest-initiated cancellations. If the captain cancels your tour because of unsafe weather, technical problems or other safety-related circumstances, we will first try to arrange an alternative date. If rescheduling is not possible, the paid deposit will be refunded. Please review our full booking terms before confirming your reservation.
