Amazing!!! - The whole experience was amazing. The tour was chill and relaxed, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The ambiance of the ship was cozy and homely. After a busy day touring the city, it was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the tour. The staff was extremely professional, polite, and warm, with a great sense of humor. The captain of the ship is highly skilled and has great respect for the dolphins, cruising near them without rushing. There is a fantastic chef on board — I had the fish, and it was one of the best meals I had during my vacation in the city of Pula. The tour guide was excellent, with a very positive spirit, and she spoke fluent English, German, and Croatian. I would recommend this tour to everyone. It’s worth every cent, and it's a beautiful way to relax.

Beautiful sunset cruise - It was a great tour. Great wine with a beautiful sunset. Many dolphins came out towards the end. The seats are a little tight but it was not a worry.

Great way to see more of Pula and have a lovely evening! - We booked this tour for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We thought we had the whole boat to ourselves but alas other people do exist, haha! Even then it was so fun and relaxing and the dinner was pretty great! We loved the host, I think her name is Larissa. She was quite awesome and very outgoing. We loved watching her feed the seagulls on the boat, that was something else. We did see many dolphins while we were out on the water and it was so fun! I highly recommend taking this tour! Oh and the food is pretty good, my husband had the fish and I had the vegetable plate.

- The entire ride was very nice. Unfortunately, we only saw the dolphins for a very short time. It was so short that you could hardly take a picture.

Not worth the money. - Myself and my partner were really looking forward to the sunset boat trip. We arrived at 4.30pm as advised thinking that if we were early we would be at the front of the queue hopefully getting a seat on the top deck of the boat. We were told because we were only a party of two we had to sit at the front of the boat as the trip was sold out. It did'nt appear busy but little did we know that we would stopping at an island to pick up other passengers. Only knew the name of the island due to the sign- St.Jerolim island. The passengers were advised to sit where they sat earlier. A couple boarded and sat down and then were asked to move. They then sat down next to us and spent the trip vaping and getting drunk on the unlimited white wine. In fact the male was witnessed putting a bottle into his rucksack. The couple were very dominating in their mannerisms especially the male and because of this we did not consume any of the unlimited drinks as we felt trapped in our seats and therefore unable to help ourselves. And as for the food- my partner had a dry miserable portion of fish that tasted like it had been cooked twice. I was unable to eat my burger and cabbage as it was saturated in oil, managed a quarter of burger which was'nt pleasant, Despite the oilyness on the outside, it was dry as old boots on the inside. It did'nt help that I was feeling queasy from all the vape smoke I was forced to inhale. I spent the last part of the trip with my shirt over my mouth as I could no longer stomach the smell of the vapes. What should have been a relaxing experience for us, felt more like we were on a party boat in the end as the couple especially the male got louder and the pair had no regard for us at all. As for the.boat trip I feel like I know nothing about the Brijini National.park as there was very little commentary and when there was I could barely make out what was being said and as for the dolphins, and the amount of other boats preventing us from getting any closer, it was a case.of blink and you will miss them. Unfortunately felt that this trip was reallty not worth 50 euros each. Disappointing.

Trapped amongst chain smokers! - This wasn’t a good experience for us. We were seated at the back downstairs with a very restricted forward view and told we mustn’t cross to the other side of the boat, so when the dolphins showed up we barely saw them. The worst thing though and this is what spoiled it, that area IS FOR SMOKERS. The man seated in the next booth chain smoked for the whole trip and it blew back on us. At one point half a dozen smokers were at it. It was terrible! I kept going forward to avoid the fumes but I couldn’t entirely avoid it. I have a lung condition and am supposed to avoid passive smoke but I was trapped there. I would recommend going on one of the big boats. We went on a boat called Orion earlier in the week to Rovinj, you could move around freely and there was no smoking and it’s the same price for the dolphin tour.
