Rovinj Dolphin Excursion was born from a passion for the sea and a lifelong connection to the stunning marine environment that surrounds Rovinj. Our journey began long before the official founding of the company in 2021. As a family, we spent countless days on the Adriatic, marveling at the natural beauty of its crystal-clear waters and captivating wildlife, particularly the majestic bottlenose dolphins.
Watching dolphins leap and play in their natural habitat never failed to inspire a sense of wonder, but it also sparked something deeper—a responsibility. Our love for the sea evolved into a mission: to offer unforgettable dolphin tours that not only showcase this incredible marine life but also play an active role in preserving it for future generations.
At the heart of Rovinj Dolphin Excursion is a commitment to conservation. We were motivated by the desire to share the magic of dolphin watching with others in a way that ensures these magnificent creatures, and the delicate ecosystems they depend on, are protected.
We envisioned a business that fosters a deeper understanding of the marine environment, particularly the need for responsible and sustainable interaction with wildlife. With the help of marine biologists and conservationists, we developed a set of guidelines for our tours to respect dolphins’ natural behaviors and protect the Adriatic’s biodiversity.
The essence of Rovinj Dolphin Excursion is rooted in family values. As a small, family-owned business, we believe in the power of personal connection—with our guests and with the environment. For us, the sea is more than just a resource; it’s a source of life, inspiration, and endless beauty.
We are proud to operate our dolphin tours with sustainability at the forefront. Our fuel-efficient boats and small-group tours help reduce environmental impact, while our partnerships with local conservation groups ensure best practices for protecting marine life.
We aim to inspire a new generation of ocean advocates. Our tours aren’t just about sightseeing—they’re about education. Every tour is an opportunity to share knowledge about the rich biodiversity of the Adriatic Sea and the vital role dolphins play in the ecosystem.
Our team of marine biologists ensures that guests leave with unforgettable memories and a greater understanding of the ocean’s importance. We believe education is key to fostering long-term change, and through our tours, we hope to inspire others to become champions of environmental preservation.
As we look to the future, our motivation remains clear: to protect and preserve the Adriatic Sea for future generations. Rovinj Dolphin Excursion is more than just a business—it’s a platform for change. We are committed to expanding our conservation efforts and advocating for stricter protections for the region’s marine life.
