However, if you turn to the left side, you can witness the magnificence of seawater wasteland, stretching beyond our sight all the way to Italy. We will also bypass one of the oldest and biggest lighthouses in the Adriatic; the Savudrian lighthouse, whose history beggins in the early 19th century. As the sun beggins to set, we will slowly start to return to Umag, once again passing the protectd dolphin territory, hoping to see their fins illuminated with the orange glow of the Sun as a perfect finish to this memorable trip.

Even though that is not often the case, we want our costumers to be aware and acknowledge that by purcahasing the ticket they are taking the risk of not encountering the dolphins.
