Brijuni Dolphin and Sunset Boat Tour from Pula
Itinerary
Pula
Pass by
As you travel along the 4.5-kilometer stretch of Pula Bay, you'll pass the city of Pula— the largest urban center and principal port in the Istria region. Historically, the Bay of Pula served as a crucial naval base for the Austro-Hungarian fleet. Along the way, you’ll also encounter several well-preserved forts, such as Muzil and Štinjan, which were constructed by the Austrians to safeguard both the bay and the port.
Brijuni National Park
Pass by
As you leave the Port of Pula, the Brijuni Islands come into view. The journey takes you past the "Peneda" lighthouse, marking the southernmost tip of Brijuni National Park. The excursion then continues toward the island of Vanga and the "White Villa," once the private residence of former Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito.
Both the island of Vanga and the White Villa—where Tito welcomed his most distinguished guests—remain highly restricted areas, closely monitored by state authorities and protected by armed security. This makes your boat tour a rare and exclusive opportunity to catch a glimpse of these historically significant sites from the sea.
Lighting Giants
Pass by
This one-of-a-kind cruise concludes with a return to the Port of Pula, offering a final view of the iconic "Luminous Giants" — the illuminated shipyard cranes — and the beautifully lit Pula Amphitheater, creating a memorable end to your journey.

Beautiful boat trip with a magnificent sunset 🌅
Very nice boat tour! Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, but that's nature; sometimes they are there, sometimes not. Nevertheless, a wonderful tour with outstanding pictures. The tour was in English, which was not a problem, however. All in all, recommended!

Had such a great time on...
Had such a great time on the dolphin boat tour! We saw loads of dolphins, it was honestly amazing. The skipper was super nice and really knew where to find them and he made the ride really smooth and comfy although there was weaves. The sunset on the way back was just beautiful, and the whole vibe on the boat was chill and fun. Definitely recommend it if you're thinking about going!
