About This Tour

This Fonda fish farm tour in Portorož takes you by boat to a fish farm in the Gulf of Piran, then ends with a tasting of raw sea bream, local olive oil and wine. It suits food lovers, nature lovers and anyone curious about how fish is farmed on the Slovenian coast.

What you do

  • Fonda base at the salt pans: The tour starts at the farm’s base at the end of the Sveti Jernej canal, on the edge of the Piran salt pans. You get an introduction to how the farm works and why the family calls it a fish garden.

Fascinating Tour of Fish Farm (Garden)

An unexpected surprise. We had a fantastic introduction to the Fonda fish farm which is really more like a fish garden. The information provided was fascinating and we learned so much. Plus we had the opportunity to take a boat out to see the gardens. They are amazing! And we also had a lovely wine and snack at the end. It was a wonderful time and we highly recommend this experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Fonda fish cooking class?

This is a shorter group tour: a boat trip to the farm and a tasting at the end. The cooking class is a private workshop where you clean, fillet and cook fish yourself and then eat the meal. Pick this tour if you want to see the farm from the water.

Is the tour good for kids?

Yes, most travelers can join. Strollers are fine, and infants sit on an adult’s lap on the boat. Kids get water with local herbs or fruit instead of wine.

Who is this tour not for?

  • Wheelchair users, since the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
  • People who don’t eat fish, as raw sea bream is the main part of the tasting.

What should I bring?

  • Sun protection: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, since you are out on open water.
  • A light jacket, as it can get windy on the boat.
  • Comfortable shoes for getting on and off the boat.

How do I get to the meeting point?

The meeting point is at Seča 142, at the end of the Sveti Jernej canal near the Ribič restaurant, a short drive from Portorož center. It is close to public transport. You can also ask for pickup in Portorož.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. You get a full refund if you cancel up to 24 hours before the start time (local time).
