We booked a “full-day boat excursion” thinking it would be fun and safe for everyone in our group. Two of us can’t swim — no problem, we thought. Every other boat trip we’ve taken has simply let us wear life jackets the whole time. Basic safety, right? Wrong.

The food was lovely and complimentary wine and soft drinks were available for the entire journey. The Ulika crew were very helpful and the captain’s comments regarding the surrounding areas, islands and buildings were interesting and informative. This is a trip that I would definitely do again and 100% recommend for people to do!”

Join Orion Travel’s boat Ariete in Pula for a three-hour sunset cruise toward Brijuni National Park. You’ll watch for dolphins, enjoy fish, meat, or vegetarian dinner with unlimited wine, water, and soft drinks, then return past Pula’s illuminated waterfront.

“This is our 2nd year in a row doing this trip and both have been different, despite being the same! Dolphins were seen both times, though that is purely down to if they are wanting to show themselves. This time around the display was better than ever! Last year's sunset was stunning, this year we had a bit of cloud though the sky was still really pretty to see. Boat staff and food still very good, just like last time. For a 3 hour trip, it is enjoyable and good value for money.”
