A great experience, beautiful scenery and sunset, tasty food and fortunate to see a large pod of dolphins. Amazing.
David_C, July 2026
Good value for money, excellent food and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this.
Gordon_S, July 2026
Don't expect quality food or drinks. Drinks limited to soft drinks and very poor quality red & white wine. Cruise itself was pleasant, crew/staff were friendly and the captain tried very hard to locate dolphins. Eventually found one.

Unfortunately it wasn't the best experience for us, we had booked this months prior to our holiday and this was a real excitement for our 9 and 4 year old
The day before the tour we were contacted to be told a storm was due and to rearrange the Tuesday Thursday or Friday night due to other commitments we choose the Tuesday and moved things about
When we arrived on the Tuesday we were told the boat had broken down and we were being moved to a second boat, when we arrived at the second boat this was half full and there were no good seats left for especially for our kids to be able to see by the time we had seen the seats like they said we could to see if we wished to stay the boat was moving and we were trapped without the option of deciding if it was going to work for us.
The other boat done their best with a bad situation food was good and staff were lovely so the stars are based on them but ultimately it went from a 4.9 rating to a 3.5 rating boat based on trip advisor along with terrible seats
Ruined what was supposed to be a special night for my girls.
I understand things happen but to say go and take a look. At the boat to see if your happy to then not actually let us off was very frustrating and we had to make the most out of what was provided.

Amazing boat trip.
Staff friendly and knowledgeable.
The sunset was fabulous and a couple of fleeting views of dolphins
Trouble, May 2026
Dolphins appeared right away while still in the harbor and we saw many on the trip. The islands were beautiful, the crew was very nice and we had perfect weather and a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend!
Debbie_H, May 2026
This was lovely to do with my mum. Her mobility isn’t great so I was concerned but we stayed downstairs and enjoyed everything on offer. The dolphins are quick so blink and you miss them but the trip itself is really relaxing, some nice things to see and a beautiful sunset. The food was good with unlimited drinks. Very friendly staff.

Bartender lady on the ship was very impolite against especially men as Customers. We as customers do not like of that. That is the reason the staff did not get tips at all after the trip.
Angela_K, Sept 2025
The food was very good. The sunset was gorgeous. Unfortunately we did not get to see any dolphins but it was still worth it. The crew was superb. Thanks!
Chloe_O, Aug 2025
Awesome crew, loved seeing dolphins. The view, sunset and staff were amazing. The staff was very personable.
Rachael_H, Aug 2025
There was no talk telling us about dolphins, the only thing we learnt was that Angelina Jolie stayed in Titos house which didn’t interest me. Food was a disappointing, fish full of bones. Sunset was pretty and wine was plentiful and we saw the fins of some dolphins. Not the best trip I’ve been on but it was enjoyable
Jonas_G, July 2025
The trip was OK. The dinner and the drinks were not really appealing. Could be more delicious. The served wine was not interesting.
Leanne_T, July 2025
The staff on the boat were very good. We enjoyed the food, beautiful sunset and seeing the dolphins. However, there were far too many people on this boat to really enjoy the experience. Perhaps in the future that is something your company could look into.
Response from Host, July 2025
We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed the SUNSET, DINNER, DOLPHINS and especially our CREW – they work hard to create a memorable experience for every guest.
Regarding the number of passengers – our boat is officially registered and licensed for 148 people, but we always limit the number to around 110 guests maximum to ensure safety and comfort.

Amazing tour!
We spot the dolphins 2 times, the staff was friendly and I had an amazing time, the driver was great and the route was calm.
Amazing views, food, drinks and staff, recommended 100%
Feng_G, Nov 2024
amazing trip. Staff was friendly and helpful, captain was really good at steering to find the dolphins and sail alongside with them. Beautiful sunset view as well with drinks and food! Can’t ask for more!
Meryl_K, Oct 2024
It was a wonderful night! The crew was lovely and informative, the food and drinks delicious, the dolphins and the gulls were adorable and the park was beautiful (as was the sunset). It was a comfortable and fun evening!
Iain_C, Sept 2024
Late change of vessel caused confusion (text message not seen). Vessel provided was old, "tired" and unimpressive. Food was well-cooked although unimaginative. Poor choice of drinks. Dolphins (fins only) spotted at last moment. All in all, disappointing.
Nicola_W, Sept 2024
Seeing dolphins isn’t guaranteed but we did see two pods briefly twice. Staff were really helpful though and in the lookout at all times. Boat spotlessly clean but if on top deck you need a cushion as the benches are a little uncomfortable after a bit. Great time and would do it again
Jana_T, Aug 2024
Everything:) Meal, folphins, sunset, views, we just enjoyed it a lot with my whole family. I would reccomend it to everybody.
Alex_C, Aug 2024
Great way to kick off our trip, we enjoyed it! The staff was extremely accommodating and the drinks went down easy!
Victoria_E, Aug 2024
Fantastic knowledgeable guide on the boat. Superb service from all staff involved with our trip and the food was lovely. And we saw the dolphins
Heidi_R, Aug 2024
The staff were friendly and helpful. The mackeral dinner was delicious. I highly recommend taking a trip on the Europa!
Ildiko_L, Aug 2024
My sisters and I had a great time on the relaxing boat ride. Staff was great. We saw delfins which made my sister extremely happy!
Michelle_N, July 2024
Lovely experience, great service, music was great, very informative only down side was wine in cheap plastic cups.
Raquel_L, July 2024
Great staff, I would give the staff five stars 🌟 for their service and for being so friendly.
They went beyond their way to please everyone and to make sure we had everything we need it.
Seeing some dolphins was the highlight of the day ✨️
Thank you

A sunset tour with dinner and the dolphin show by boat was definitely a highlight during our time in Pula. We wish we had more personal free time to visit Brijuni National Park but we’re grateful to at least catch a glimpse and learn a little about it on this trip. Given how busy the tour was, it was a clever idea to sit people together by preferred language but we’d prefer it if they used the ship’s intercom system to educate us about our surroundings in lieu of coming around table-by-table because if someone was not at their seat or had difficulty hearing, they missed the information. Dinner was simple as expected but plentiful as they offered seconds to anyone who wanted and service was efficient. This was the first time we’d been on a boat with unlimited wine and soft drinks and there was no long line for the bar area, which is a tribute to the crew’s efficiency. The crew was as friendly as they were efficient, which added to the enjoyment but there is no question that the dolphins stole the show! We saw several hundred. Even the captain was surprised and elated to see so many! Highly recommend a sunset tour as part any trip to Pula. Just know if you chose this one, it’s popular and very full. If that bothers you, chose another without dinner and/or consider a private tour.

A wonderful ride on the sea, but you have to take a jacket because of the wind. Very nice staff and a lot of interesting information about the islands around. We've seen dolphins, but not so many, because that depends on the wild life. You can't plan that. But the captain tried very hard to find some and didn't chase them as the other boats did. We were very satisfied.

Thank you Laura for all the interesting details you shared with us! A very nice experience!
