Description
The adventure begins at Fažana harbor, where you board a spacious glass-bottom boat offering clear views of the Adriatic seabed. The vessel sails from the historic coastline to the Brijuni National Park.
The curated route navigates between the Veliki and Mali Brijun islands, showcasing Roman ruins, Mediterranean flora, and untouched nature. The real highlight is the journey into open water for dolphin watching.
Guided by an experienced captain, the tour visits known dolphin activity areas. Watching dolphins in their wild environment offers a memorable wildlife experience.
On the return trip, the boat sails close to the shore at sunset. This allows up-close observation of wild island animals like deer, mouflons, and peacocks as they appear near the water’s edge in the golden evening light.
The tour ends with relaxation on the panoramic terrace, where passengers can watch the sun set over the Istrian coast before returning to Fažana harbor.
