DOLPHINSAT SUNSET

DOLPHINS AT SUNSET

ENJOY DOLPHINS AT SUNSET

Three hours, one unforgettable evening on the sea. First we sail out of Pula harbour towards the Brijuni islands, where our captain searches for the bottlenose dolphins that live in these waters. Then we slow down, pour you a glass of wine and watch the sun set into the sea.

THE CRUISE

Before we set sail, our family crew welcomes you on board our traditional wooden boat with a welcome drink – homemade brandy served with a smile. On the way to the Brijuni islands, sit back, enjoy the sea breeze and listen to our crew’s stories about the islands.

Before sunset, enjoy dinner freshly prepared on board (fish, meat or veggie meal with salad and bread), with water, ice-cold soft drinks and wine.

MEET THE DOLPHINS

Near the islands, our captain slows down and everyone starts watching the water. The dolphins are a family that lives around Brijuni, and we meet them on more than 8 out of 10 trips. When they appear, the whole boat goes quiet for a moment – and sometimes, curious as they are, they come right up to the bow and swim along with us.

Our Dolphins at Sunset tour is simply great fun for all ages!

Dolphins are wild animals and nobody can promise them, but our captain knows where to look. And if they stay hidden, you still enjoy a panoramic cruise around Brijuni National Park and the sunset with a glass of wine in your hand.

SAVE YOUR SEAT ON BOARD

A calm evening on the sea, a family crew and the sunset near Brijuni. In July and August the boat fills up fast, so book a few days ahead to be sure of your place.

A perfect way to end the day for couples, families, honeymooners and kids alike!

You can join us in two ways: choose DINNER & DRINKS and sail aboard our wooden boat “Lucija”, or pick DRINKS-ONLY and enjoy the same route aboard “Emilio”.
