Amazing boat trip, really helpful tour guide. The grilled fish on the boat was delicious. Beautiful island to explore and go swimming, perfect for snorkelling.

We enjoyed it. Hard to hear the guide from upper deck. Lunch was nice. We enjoyed the island but take water shoes and goggles to get most out of experience. Only go if you enjoy being on a beach. There is not much shade and not heaps to do unless u like the beach

There is very little commentary, you have to keep guessing where you are. Food is so so but totally what we were expecting. Drink is plentiful though. Sitting on the lower deck you digest some exhaust fumes now and again. You sit where you are told and seats are both forward and rear facing.

Crew asked us to take sits at upper deck where after departure everyone started smoking. When we signalised to crew member that we have problems with that he told to other passengers that „Poles are complaining about cigarettes” which obviously haven’t helped.

Friendly staff and multilingual. Had a great experience on the island snorkeling. Luckily we saw dolphins while cruising the islands

It was nice, the trip was relaxing, the water was perfect. We had a great time and hope to see you again!

Was nothing more than a boat trip to an empty island. No swim stop offs, no music nothing. The odd fact of a few islands
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Dear Joshua.
We are very sorry that you did not like the excursion. Stop on the island St. Jerolim (part of N.P. Brijuni) and have a swimming place - swimming beaches. No bathing from the ship. Sorry. Anyway, Welcome to Croatia again!

My daughter and I had a great day on the Brijuni boat trip. We were well looked after by the host with a delicious meal on board. We knew from previous reviews that we had to pay additionally to land on one of the islands, which was also a unique opportunity that we enjoyed. The experience was good value and we would recommend.

Our 2nd consecutive tour cancelled on back to back days. Our only two days in Pula. Cancelled because of a scheduled boat inspection. If it was a scheduled inspection, why accept our booking in the first place?! This followed our glass boat tour being cancelled because not enough people signed up. Yet our tours were both confirmed well before we flew into Pula. Both tours cancelled at the last minute, before we could schedule something else. Brutal. Thanks Viator.
Paula_G, Aug 2019
The boat trip was really nice, since the tour guide gave some information about the area and was quite helpful. The food was good and the island we went to was a beautiful spot, especially for snorkeling. We were a bit disappointed that we only stopped once but it was okay, maybe we could have more time on the island. All in all I can recommend it!
Frank_M, Jul 2019
One of the best fish dishes we had in Pula, with deliciously simple cole slaw. The captain and guide were very nice.
anthony h, Aug 2017
The boat trip was well explained by our on ship guide who could speak 4 languages fluently. Well worth the money. Thanks
Ross M, Aug 2017
Very nice boat trip around the islands.Staff were very friendly.Only flaw.The island it stops at doesn't have much there.Its beautiful for swimming and there's a small bar/cafe but that's it.Seems to be a lot more happening on veli brijun.All in all though, nice trip and very good value for money.Its definitely a nice day out
MRD_R, Oct 2016
Lovely ride around the islands with a small meal at a low price with friendly staff.
Tom H, Aug 2016
I enjoyed the day. I was impressed with the lunch. Very good quality fish. Funnily enough one of the best meals I had in Pula. My one criticism would be that the tour guide didn't speak very good English. Spent most of her time talking Italian.
Emily_J, Aug 2016
False advertising - we thought we were going to the main island, you are not! You go onto a small island with pretty water - but don't get to see any of the history or the safari park of birunji. Boat crew fed the seagulls whilst we were eating, we had them flying and pooing over - not nice.
Richard O, Jun 2016
The boat ride was fun with beautiful scenery. The staff was friendly. However, the park was sad. Given our time limit, there was a very small area to access the beach. The snack bar did not have 90% of its menu. I understand why the park is paid seperately, it should be an option that's skipped

Excellent tour and delicious food! Highly recommended!
Marianne_S, Jul 2025
Wir waren voll und ganz zufrieden ❤️ Mittagessen war nicht massig aber es hat gereicht für den Hunger. Und es war echt lecker. Die Dame war super super freundlich und man hat gemerkt, daß sie es gern macht. Auf der Insel selber, war es auch toll, wir waren gegen 12:30 dort, und dementsprechend leer war es noch. Die Stelle die wir gefunden haben zum Baden war auch traumhaft. Würden die Tour immer wieder buchen.
Markus_H, Aug 2023
Sehr netter Empfang auf dem Schiff.....tolle Reiseführerin mit mehreren Sprachen.
Essen gut und Getränke ausreichend.
Insel Ausflug von gut 2 Stunden zum selbst gestalten.
Die Tour ist sehr zu empfehlen !!!!!!
Johannes_E, Aug 2023
Die Reiseleitung war sehr lustig und nett
Getränke waren im Überfluss vorhanden
Als Fisch gab es Makrele der auch sehr gut war
Preisleistungsverhältniss war gut
Louison_G, Aug 2022
Prévu de manger des burgers on se retrouve avec du chou ignoble. Un bateau qui n’offre pas beaucoup de visibilité sur la paysage. Une équipe absolument pas commode et mal aimable au possible. Je déconseille
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Dear Louison
We remember your funny group from France!)) We are at a loss from the number of stars. Please contact the manager and specify what exactly did not like the guide on the ship. If true, we will refund your full payment.
In any case, we apologize! Welcome to Croatia again 🇭🇷

Schlechtes Essen, unangenehm langweilige Reise. Unbedingt schwimmsachen mitnehmen! Die Insel ist grade nicht besonders. Kaum was zu sehen. Lieber Geld behalten als dort auszugeben!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Ihnen unser Ausflug nicht gefallen hat. Wie auch immer, Willkommen in Kroatien!
Simone_R, Aug 2021
Sehr beeindruckt hat uns, das sehr lieblos dargereichte Essen, welches sehr wenig mit den präsentierten Bildern zu tun hatten. Ebenso hat uns die Art und Weise der sehr resoluten und Kommando angebenden Schiffsführerin begeistert. Die Anweisungen der Selben führten zu gut geordneten Abläufen beim Essen und beim Ein- und Aussteigen. Das Angebot der Getränke war mehr als überschaubar und der sehr saure Wein, war nur für eine Schorle geeignet. Das Highlight war die angefahrene Insel, mit einem kleinen Strand, der total voll war, auf der es keine funktionierenden Duschen gab, unsaubere Toiletten die man nicht abschließen konnte und zudem noch sehr schmutzig waren! Das alles gab es für 4€ Eintritt, was zusammen mit der Schifffahrt einen Endpreis von 39€ pro Person machte. Ein super Preis für ein solches Highlight!

Liebe Simone
Wir haben Ihre Kommentare an die Nationalparkverwaltung Brioni gesendet. Sie (der Nationalpark) haben versprochen, alles auf der Insel zu reparieren! Wir sind das Schiff - wir entschuldigen uns. Willkommen in Kroatien wieder!

Dear Simone
We have sent your comments to the Brioni National Park Administration. They (the national park) promised to fix everything on the island! We are the Ship - we apologize. Welcome to Croatia again!

Ich kann hier viele Nutzer nicht verstehen.
Die Tour war mit der Crew und der Reiseleitung TOP! Wir buchten eine 5h Tour und sind voll auf unsere Kosten gekommen. Auf dem Schiff saßen wir auf dem Oberdeck und waren durch ein Sonnensegel geschützt, denn es war mega heiß und wir wollten kein weiteren Sonnenbrand. Das ausgewählte Essen, von uns, war lecker. Da ich ein Vielfraß bin, hätte ich gern mehr gegessen.
Für uns spielte es keine Rolle von welcher Marke die Getränke sind, Wein und alkoholfreie Getränke waren im Preis mit drinnen. All you can drink.
Die Reiseführerrin konnte uns jeder Frage beantworten.
Die Insel ist klein und man konnte sie sehr zügig umlaufen.
Kinder und Erwachsene sollten unbedingt eine Schnorchelmaske mitnehmen.
Beim Schnorcheln ist nur auf die Strömung zu achten.
Auf der Rückfahrt durften wir sogar ein Foto am Steuer machen was dem kleinen sehr gefallen hat.
Alles zusammen, Preis-Leistung TOP

Welcome to Croatia again 🇭🇷
Sergio_G, Aug 2019
Balade sympathique en bateau autour des îles avec repas de poisson, viande ou végétarien à bord.
Arrêt sur la petite île de San Jerolim avec accès payant (20 kuna) pour la baignade mais pas de plage, que des rochers.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
Thanks
Welcome to Croatia!
P. S.
the island has wild beaches of small white stone and you just need to find)))) only you on the beach and nobody!!
Christian_S, Jul 2019
Der Ausflug war sehr schön und der Nationalpark mit der Insel war atemberaubend sehr zu empfehlen der Tourguide (eine Dame) konnte viele Sprachen, so dass man viel über Pula erfahren hat
Frank M, Aug 2016
Ikke nogle succes - spild af penge. Fik ikke set delfiner som lovet eller vild dyr så måger på havet og æsler samt en påfugl på øen hvor man skulle betale yderligere for at komme på. 2 1/2 time og 240 kn blev der brugt på øen for at få tiden til at gå. Venlig personale på båden men det var ikke buffet men en portion mad blev der serveret. Ikke værd at anbefale
