1.Brijuni National Park Sunset, Dolphins & Dinner Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 607 reviews · 3 hours · from $64Our pick

Sail from Pula on a traditional wooden boat into Brijuni National Park. Watch for wild dolphins, enjoy sunset over the Adriatic, and choose mackerel, chicken, or a vegetarian dinner. Water, orange juice, and white wine are included. Bring a jacket for the open sea.

“The cruise was super. It is a gentle boat ride, they work hard to find the dolphins which they managed and it was beautiful watching them move in and out of the water as they swam. 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!”
