Top Porec On the Water

Istria's west coast has three major destinations strung along the Adriatic—Poreč, the Lim Fjord, and Rovinj—and seeing all of them in one day is often tackled by car, even though many locals know that the coastline is actually best seen from the water. Skip pricey private charters and set sail on this cost-efficient wooden-boat trip from Poreč, which includes a Rovinj stop, a Lim Fjord sail-through with a legendary pirate cave visit, and Vrsar.

Start your journey from the port of Poreč, with panoramic view of Istrian west coast. Embark on a boat ride along the coast towards the beautiful town of Vrsar, which will take you on an unforgettable journey through enchanting landscapes. As we navigate through 20 idyllic islands, be prepared for incredible sights. We might even be surprised by dolphins playing alongside us. On the return, enjoy the panoramic view of the historic town of Poreč and its peninsula. This tour is the perfect way to relax, enjoy nature and create memories that will last forever.

Enter the town of Poreč from a sea kayak. Paddle around the island's edge while learning about the town's history stretching across Empires from Venetian, Austrian, Italian, and Yogoslavia. Led by a guide, this UNESCO World Heritage Site looks even by sunset. On lucky evenings, dolphins can be seen swimming by the coast. Finish the tour with a drink at a local beach bar.

This tour offers perfect balance of scenic cruising, free time to explore, and authentic local charm.
