Dolphin & Sunset Boat Tour with Brijuni Panorama

Sail the shimmering waters of the Brijuni archipelago in search of wild bottlenose dolphins, with drinks in hand and the Istrian coastline glowing gold at sunset. One of the most romantic and wildlife-rich experiences on the entire Adriatic.

What to expect

Board a sleek boat in Pula harbour as the afternoon light softens and set course for the protected waters around Brijuni, home to a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Your naturalist skipper reads the sea like a map and positions the boat for close, unhurried sightings. Chilled local wine and Istrian nibbles are served on deck as the sky turns amber and rose. The return to port under a canopy of stars is as memorable as the dolphins themselves.

Good to know

Departures are typically late afternoon; confirm exact timing against your ship's all-aboard. The boat departs directly from Pula harbour — a 5-minute walk from the pier. Opt for the dinner package for a fully self-contained, luxurious evening. Book directly via the operator website; peak-season slots sell out weeks in advance.
