What makes my truffle hunting adventure unique? It od a real truffle hunt, not just a demonstration. Guests experience authentic truffle hunting in the forest together with trained dogs. We also keep our groups small — a maximum of 10 people — to ensure a more personal, intimate, and authentic experience. Truffle is an unusual subterranean fungus. There are two important varieties of truffles: white truffle (Tuber Magnatum) and black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum). Both of these can be found in the Motovun forest located in the valley of the Mirna River. Even though truffles can be found elsewhere, Motovun truffles are considered to be of the highest quality.

Unique experience. Fun searching for truffles and the home cooked lunch was delicious
Fun experience watching our guide work with his dogs to find truffles. The dogs found a white truffle and were so excited. Lunch on the patio in the town of Motovun was delicious. Such a unique experience.

The hunting took over an hour longer than advertised which threw off our other planned activities. The original overview of the activity included "sample local truffles and wines with a celebratory tasting" which did not occur.

Truffle hunt in Motovun a highlight!
Such a fantastic experience! I loved spending time with the dogs and watching them hunt for truffles — finding them in the forest was such a highlight and gave me a whole new appreciation for what goes into getting them onto the plate. The forest walk was beautiful, we learnt a lot about the history of the area, and lunch afterwards was absolutely delicious — simple, authentic home cooking that really showcased the truffles. A really memorable experience and one of the highlights of our trip.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Truffle hunting adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.
How much does Truffle hunting adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovinj usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Truffle hunting adventure take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovinj is not rushed.
Is Truffle hunting adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 202 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Rovinj, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle hunting adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Truffle hunting adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Truffle hunting adventure?
+
Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovinj can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovinj and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Truffle hunting adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovinj within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovinj?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovinj experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BUBA-Kayak Tours Rovinj FREE-drinks,pictures,snorkeling equipment, Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun, Rovinj amazing kayak tour-free drink &snorkeling &jumps &photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovinj?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovinj?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Rovinj.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Truffle hunting adventure?
+

Is Truffle hunting adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
