“Marko was our tour guide. He shared his enthusiasm and knowledge of Split with us. It was nice to learn about Split from a local person’s perspective.”
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”
