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.

Great... - Great experience...boarded at 1730 unware other passengers were joining from another island.....however Larissa the host was a GEM!We visited off peak and saw dolphins(almost always guaranteed) and sat downstairs which was the best spot for dolphin watching. Larissa did everything as well and her commentary and making guests at ease was flawless. Drinks were really unlimited and the mackrell as well as veggie were filling. Surperises (such as feeding the seagulls) and the host Larissa would mean i would love to do this again!

Bellis - We met them by chance. We looked for this trip at the last minute, unfortunately everything was full because there had been some days of bad weather, so all the trips were moved to the following days and there wasn't even a free boat. Walking along the pier we met Tania who told us there were two free seats left (the ones we needed) because a couple had just cancelled... what a stroke of LUCK! He also showed us free and paid parking so we could choose based on distance, really kind. The trip then left around 6.30pm with the girl whose name I don't remember, who explained what was around us, really very smart and spoke Italian very well. All the staff were very kind, they offered us unlimited drinks at dinner time, we chose between meat, fish or vegetarian, the fish was really delicious. We threw what was left over to the seagulls who started following the boat, it was really a lot of fun for everyone! As for the sighting of dolphins, we saw two of them a couple of times in the distance, very beautiful, but in any case it was also all the surroundings that made the trip really beautiful! Breathtaking colours, light and pleasant atmosphere, very kind staff!

I don't recommend it - I do not recommend this tour. We arrive at 5.30 at the port. We are told that for half an hour we can sit wherever we want but then we have to sit where we are told as the boat was picking up the passengers from the 3pm trip who had therefore already taken their seats before us. I don't find this correct as we paid the full ticket and nowhere was the option to give priority to passengers who arrived first indicated. The reserved space was also very small (it felt like I was sitting on a plane). The dinner was good, I'm not arguing. However, the choice to offer those who chose the fish option a whole fish is questionable given that, given the little space available, even as a table, I often saw myself trespassing onto the plate of my neighbor, to the obvious embarrassment of both of us. We saw the dolphins for about a minute. But here too, the side of the boat from which they saw each other obviously had an advantage, given the impossibility of moving from their seat. Unlimited consumption of beverages, including alcohol, is also described. The alcoholic choice was limited to white wine, which really required courage to drink more than one glass. Even in this case, why not include just one glass for dinner but which is at least acceptable and also welcome in a fish-based dinner? Here, I understand the need to monetize and profit as much as possible on boat trips., Also including multiple options in a single day (morning, afternoon and evening) and consequently making the most of the boat as possible. But at this point I also expect a truly mass tourism figure. Almost €60 for 3 hours in these conditions seems really excessive to me.

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.
