Istria is home to dolphins – discover 5 fun facts about these smart and playful animals on a family boat tour from Medulin.
Istria is not only known for great food and beautiful landscapes, but also for dolphins that often swim near the coast. Our boat tour from Medulin gives you the chance to see them up close, especially at sunset.
Meeting dolphins is a highlight for both kids and adults. Here are some fun facts to know:
- Dolphins are very smart – they use sounds to talk and can recognize themselves in a mirror.
- They sleep with half of their brain – so they can rest and still stay alert.
- They live in groups – called pods, where they help each other and travel together.
- They keep the sea healthy – by hunting fish, they help keep nature in balance.
- You can really see them in Istria – especially in the Medulin archipelago, where they often follow boats.

If you’re visiting Istria with your family, this is a perfect adventure. Enjoy a beautiful sunset, dinner on board, and a chance to meet dolphins in the wild.
