Birthday Sunset to Remember 🐬🥂

We had a wonderful experience overall and would definitely recommend this sunset and dolphin-watching boat trip! ❤️ We initially had some trouble finding the location due to our own mistake, but the contact person responded immediately and sent us very detailed information about parking options and the exact location of the boat, which was extremely helpful. The trip itself was lovely. ⚓️⛴️ We were lucky enough to see dolphins several times 🐬, which was definitely one of the highlights. The food and drinks were also great – we chose the fish menu and it was absolutely delicious. The information provided by the guide during the trip was interesting and informative, and the entire staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The experience is also very family-friendly, and we really enjoyed it with our young daughter. A very special thank you to the crew for going the extra mile to surprise my partner, who was celebrating his birthday 🎂🥳🍾. They surprised him with a birthday song and some lovely sparkling wine, which made the evening even more memorable for us. A beautiful sunset, dolphins, good food and a wonderful crew – we had a great time and would happily recommend this experience.

Super experience and worth the money

We booked the sunset trip with dolphin view. Though we only could see single dolphins swimming, but we were satisfied. We had to wait until all passengers arrived on the ship and all were seated before the guide told us that everyone would get only one glass but keep it till the end of the trip, so you can refill. This is not to waste cups, which is really economical. The dinner we have booked was either chicken or hate fish with cabbage slake and bread. It was Nötigung special but was sufficient . Luckily we could also find a parkingslot at Ul. Svetog Petra for 1.50€ per hour, even on a Sunday. Thanks fine the nice trip.
