Step-by-step itinerary

Boat tour along Slovenian coast

• Depart from Izola by boat

• Cruise past Fiesa beach and lakes
• Admire Strunjan cliffs from the sea
• Stop at White Rocks for swimming
• Return to Izola by boat

The experience

The boat leaves Izola and heads toward Piran, where you see the old town from the water: red rooftops, narrow streets, the bell tower of St. George's Church rising above the coastline, and Tartini Square ringed by Venetian-style buildings. The lighthouse marks the peninsula's tip. From the boat, the angle is what you cannot get on foot: the full height of the town walls on the hill and the way the architecture stacks down to the harbor.

Continuing along the coast, the Strunjan cliffs appear: 80 meters high, the tallest on the Adriatic, covered in Mediterranean vegetation and dropping straight into the sea. You pass Fiesa beach, a small bay with calm water and two inland lakes visible from the water. Then comes the stop at White Rocks, a natural limestone formation with clear water where you swim, float or photograph the pale rock against the blue sea. The boat stays anchored while you're in the water.

The return to Izola follows the same coastline, giving you a second look at what you passed on the way out. The guide is with you throughout and speaks English. Bottled water and alcoholic drinks are included.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see the Slovenian coast from the water rather than from land.

What exactly is Piran like when you see it from the boat?

Piran appears as a compact old town built along the coast, with red-tiled roofs, narrow streets, and the bell tower of St. George's Church standing high above everything. Tartini Square, the town center, is surrounded by Venetian-style buildings, and the old town walls climb the hill behind. The lighthouse marks the peninsula's point. From the water, you see the full scale of how the town is layered down to the harbor.

How high are the Strunjan cliffs and what do they look like?

The Strunjan cliffs reach 80 meters, making them the highest on the Adriatic coast. They rise directly from the sea, covered in Mediterranean vegetation, and create a dramatic, untouched landscape. Small hidden beaches and crystal-clear water sit below them, and the angle from the boat shows their full height and scale.

Can you actually swim during this tour, and where?

Yes, the tour includes a swimming stop at White Rocks, a natural limestone formation with pale cliffs and exceptionally clear water. You can swim, float, relax on the boat or take photos while the boat stays anchored. The setting is quiet and unspoiled.

How long is the entire tour and what's included?

The tour runs three hours total, departing and returning to Izola. It includes private boat transportation, an English-speaking guide, bottled water and alcoholic drinks.

What is Fiesa beach like from the water?

Fiesa is a peaceful small bay with calm water, surrounded by greenery and holiday houses tucked among trees. Two small inland lakes sit behind the beach, a unique feature of the area. From the sea, you see the relaxed atmosphere and gentle coastline that makes it popular with locals.
