“A wonderful ride on the sea, but you have to take a jacket because of the wind. Very nice staff and a lot of interesting information about the islands around. We've seen dolphins, but not so many, because that depends on the wild life. You can't plan that. But the captain tried very hard to find some and didn't chase them as the other boats did. We were very satisfied.”

She kindly made sure everyone on the boat was comfortable. The food options were communicated clearly beforehand as well as the chance of seeing dolphins that day! We were delighted to actually see them which made this tour complete for us.. The island you visit is also quite beautiful with lots of flowers, birds and butterflies. And of course the peacocks! It is wise to wear a warm sweater or something on board as the wind might make it a bit chilly. But…”

8.Guided Dolphin Watching Sightseeing Cruise at Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 522 reviews · from $34Best value

Join a Croatian, English, or German-speaking guide aboard the pet-friendly Kristina, a comfortable boat for up to 50 people. From Fazana, cruise into Brijuni National Park at sunset, search for bottlenose dolphins, and enjoy a soft drink while the captain follows sightings. Dolphin sightings are advertised at over 90 percent, but wildlife is never guaranteed.

“The cruise generally met our expectations. The highlight was the beautiful views of the sunset over the sea, which were truly unforgettable. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see any dolphins, but the presence of a pleasant and funny guide more than made up for it. The free drink described turned out to be water or Coke served from an open 1.5L bottle into a plastic cup. Considering the price of the cruise, it would be a nice touch to offer small cans or bottles of beverages—just a suggestion for the future. Despite these minor remarks, the cruise was an enjoyable experience and I can definitely recommend it.Read more”

But even if we hadn't seen dolphins, the trip would have been worth it, because the sunset was very beautiful. It was very enjoyable after a very sunny day, that we could travel in a boat with wind and very great weather. Also, the food was very delicious. It's not worth missing it, if you're in Pula.”
