Highlights
  • Pula - You’ll traverse the entire Pula Bay, which stretches 4.5 kilometers. On its shores lies Pula, the largest city and port in Istria. Historically, the Gulf of Pula served as the main port for the Austro-Hungarian Navy. You’ll also pass by several forts, such as Muzil and Ć tinjan, which remain in their natural state and were originally built by Austria to protect the bay and port.
  • PULA BOAT TOURS-ADVENTURES | DOLPHINS & SUNSET TOUR | BEST THINGS TO DO IN PULA I BOOTSAUSFLUGE - Embark on a five-hour tour from Pula to the renowned Brijuni National Park. Aboard our luxury ship “Europa,” your group will witness numerous sights, including Tito’s island Vanga, the Minor fortress on Small Brijuni, and Big Brijuni island. Enjoy lunch and unlimited drinks served by our friendly crew, all included in the excursion price. After a comfortable journey, your group will take a 2-2.5 hour break for swimming at the secluded coast of Ć tinjanska uvala. Visit the hidden beach bar Lost Bay, located at the very end of Ć tinjanska uvala. Nestled in the shade of the sandy beach’s vegetation, Lost Bay offers everything you desire from summer—relaxation, swimming, or enjoying a favorite cup of coffee and cocktails. The break at Ć tinjanska uvala is included in the price, but drinks and other orders at the Lost Bay beach bar are not.
  • Brijuni National Park - After leaving the port of Pula, you’ll see the Brijuni islands. You’ll pass by the “Peneda” lighthouse, the southernmost point of Brijuni National Park. The tour continues towards the island “Vanga” and the “White Villa,” the residence of former Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito. The island “Vanga” and the “White Villa” are strictly protected and monitored by state authorities and armed soldiers. This tour offers a unique opportunity to view Tito’s island and residence from our boat.
  • Ulysses Theatre - The tour proceeds to the island “Mali Brijun,” the second largest of the Brijuni Islands. You’ll pass “Fort Brioni Minor,” the largest fort on the Adriatic coast, built in 1895 as part of the defense system surrounding Pula. The fort was under military protection until 2001, and since then, it has hosted the summer theater “Ulysses.”
  • Kupelwieser’s Peace, Np Brijuni - This is one of several buildings you’ll see during the cruise. The island’s rich architectural heritage spans various historical periods. In the late 19th century, Paul Kupelwieser transformed Brijuni into an exclusive summer resort, attracting the aristocratic, cultural, scientific, industrial, and economic elite.
  • Brijuni National Park - “Veliki Brijun” is the largest, most beautiful, and most visited island of the Brijuni archipelago. It exemplifies the harmony between nature and human influence. Veliki Brijun features a landscape of lawns and parks, along with valuable architectural heritage and preserved vegetation typical of the western Istrian climate. Although open to the public, part of the island is managed by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia and serves residential purposes for the President and Government of Croatia.
  • Hillfort (Gradina), NP Brijuni - This is a fortified Bronze Age settlement with preserved walls, entrance, and necropolis, located on a hill north of Verige bay.
  • Stinjan - Stop for 1.5 hours at Lost Bay Beach, a hidden gem along the coastline offering a peaceful retreat for beach enthusiasts.

Great day out!!! - What a fantastic day out. The crew were friendly and gave some information on places we sailed past. The lunch was cooked fresh on board. I had fish option and it was a huge mackerel, which was cooked to perfection My friend had the meat option which was chicken and she said it was very good. There was unlimited drinks all day,soft alcohol and water. We stopped at a beach for a couple of hours. Really enjoyed the whole day.

Fabulous experience - Nothing short of fantastic, friendly and friendly staff available for every need. On board they serve unlimited drinks including soft drinks, red and white wine, lunch of your choice between fish, meat or vegetarian. My mother and I chose the fish, cooked to perfection and with really balanced seasonings, is served during the cruise visiting the Brijuni Islands and the guides (for each nationality) explain the history of the most important ones. We Italians have met NicolĂČ, he lives in Pula and is nothing short of adorable. After the visit on board you stop in the bay, surrounded by greenery, I would say Wild! Pebble beach (bring your shoes) and crystal clear water on a breathtaking coastline, at the beach bar they offer food and drinks (for a fee) worth it because you are free to stay where you want for two and a half hours! We return to the port definitely happy and satisfied. 100% Recommendation!!

Not really convincing and not worth of €45 - The staff crew are all super friendly and communicative. However, the whole trip is kind of disappointing and doesn’t really worth €45 in my opinions. The trip DOESN’T include onboarding the national park (the island) but just going around the island, which you couldn’t see much from the boat. The introduction from the crew is also rather short. They dropped us off at a beach on the way back which it’s quite disappointing and can be reached by car. All in all: do the €40 national park tour yourself would be way more worthy

Very gentle staff, underwhelming beach - The staff and the food were very nice. However, I would not say that it was a particularly educational tour, since the explanations from the guides were many times in delay and very short. It is more like a compilation of short facts while you pass by the islands. The real problem for us was the beach. I struggle to believe that there is not a nicer beach in Pula. The bar where they took us is tiny. There’s no possibility to rent an umbrella, there wasn’t even a shower
 not the best.
