    Easy to book and locate. We got to see dolphins and the food was what is O be expected on tours like this. Definitely would go with the fish. They had plenty to drink and the staff were friendly and informative. Note you may be sat with other groups at the same table. The tables seat up to 8.

    Successful Dolphin discovery.

    Dean_B, Aug 2026
    Pleasant boat trip, with plenty of refreshments. Also saw several sightings of dolphins. Boat was quite full and cramped.

    Great experience

    Paul_C, Aug 2026
    Really enjoyed this boat trip. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was the highlight, and the trip delivered exactly what was advertised. The crew were brilliant. Everyone was friendly, helpful and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. They made a real effort to make sure everyone had a good time. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Pula and thinking about doing a dolphin boat trip.

    Nice boat and we got to...

    Mike_V, Jul 2026
    Nice boat and we got to see dolphins. At the beginning of the cruise a lady I produced herself as our tour guide and then we never saw her again. We were given 1 bottle of water 1 bottle of Fanta and 1 lukewarm bottle of white wine. No one ever came to check on us to see if we wanted more water or if everything was okay. There are pre recorded messages on some of what you see in terms of islands but it’s not exactly a tour. It was nice to see the dolphins but an explanation of the species would have been nice. At the end of the tour we stopped to watch birds sitting on the water why I don’t know.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing the dolphins, as this is always the highlight of our tour. We are sorry that some aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. Our crew is always available throughout the cruise, and drinks are unlimited, so we apologize if this was not made clear to you. Guests are welcome to ask for additional drinks at any time, and we regret that you felt unattended. Regarding the commentary, we provide information in several languages during the tour, together with recorded information about the National Park and surrounding islands. We appreciate your suggestion about including more information about the dolphin species and will certainly take it into consideration. The short stop near the birds is part of the route, as the area is home to protected seabirds and offers guests another opportunity to enjoy the natural wildlife of the Brijuni archipelago. Thank you once again for your comments. Feedback like yours helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience. Kind regards, Arena Boat Pula🤗🐬

    Wonderful sunset experience

    Slavica_N, May 2026
    We had a wonderful experience on the sunset dolphin watching cruise — the captain really put in the effort to find dolphins and we were lucky enough to spot them four times during the trip. The introduction to Pula and its surroundings added a nice touch to the tour and the delicious fresh fish dinner made the whole evening even more enjoyable.

    Dolphin Tour

    Arlene_A, May 2026
    The experience was great. Very comfortable and the island were all explained. We saw saw lots of Dolphins. Had a wonderful fish dinner with wine. Definitely a must for any tourist.

    Great trip

    Monique_O, May 2026

    We saw many dolphins and very nice sunset view.

    Hyunju_O, Oct 2024
    I think we were pretty lucky. At the beginning, we were not sure if we will be able to see any dolphins, but later we saw quite a few dolphins. The dinner provided by them tasted good. We got wine, soda and water during the ride. The sunset view was very nice. I also took pictures of the cranes lighted up in different colours at night on the harbour from the boat. It was a nice experience.

    Really enjoyed it.

    Samantha_T, Aug 2024
    Staff were friendly and welcoming, and spoke to us all with local information and history. Only saw a couple of dolphins, but as they’re wild animals it’s to be expected.

    Great experience

    KAIYIN_P, Oct 2023
    The service is great. So is the food. They explain the sights along the tour. They also found the dolphins. The tour started an hour early because it was cloudy, but because of that we are able to enjoy the sun for longer.

    Dolphin dinner cruise

    Glen_T, Oct 2023
    The weather was perfect. Our hostess was very accomplished in 3 languages and accomadating in every way. We spotted a few dolphins even this late in the season. I would recommend the fish dinner. Coming back into the harbor the lighting cranes were impressive as was the amphitheater. This tour delivered all it advertised and we would do it again.

    Brilliant sunset cruise

    Kok_N, Aug 2023
    Excellent sunset cruise felt safe and boat was lovely . Crew extremely friendly and the skipper even found some dolphins for us !

    Nope

    Kim_F, Jul 2023
    The dolphins were fun to see This group prioritized the big groups They have a “seating” plan as to where you sit and were very obviously not concerned that we ended up sitting at the back of the boat. Definitely not made to feel special My adult daughter and I were so excited to do this cruise but were SO disappointed. The dinner was not good I would NEVER recommend this tour company

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Dear guest, so, we made for you places upstair on the terrace on the big table for 8 person. I think you should understand that we could not give you private table just for you. After that, you ask for the other place on the boat. I offer you table downstair on the back terrace and you told me that's sounds good for you. After that, you change table again and went in the front of the boat. I think we offer you enough options for sitting. For the dinner, tastes are diffrent. We accept your oppinon, but also other people on the boat praised the dinner. After tour, everybody were satisfied with the tour, I am sorry that you feel otherwise. Boat Arena

    A beautiful evening on the sea

    Carmen_K, Aug 2026
    The service on board is good, the staff is very friendly and helpful. There is no guarantee that you will get to see dolphins; it is up to the animals whether they show themselves in the protected waters or not. There are plenty of drinks, the fish was good.

    Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review! 😊 We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our service, the drinks, and the fish, and especially that you found our crew friendly and helpful. As you mentioned, dolphins are wild animals in their natural habitat, so every encounter is completely up to them – and that is also what makes seeing them so special. 🐬💙 Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on board again! ⚓️🌅 Arena Boat Pula Team

    Stefanie_S, Jul 2025
    A beautiful boat trip.Eim.experience in Pula, you absolutely have to do times.Higtlight were of course the dolphins, but also the seagulls, which accompanied us from the beginning...to nice staff.

    Everything was well organized. The crew put a lot of effort into providing us with a good experience and we were actually able to watch dolphins. The trip was very relaxed. The fish to eat was really good. And there was water, fanta and white wine to drink. The manager gave everyone at the table some information in person. Everyone was very polite and nice.

    Schöne Tour, tolle...

    Sandra_Z, Jun 2025
    Nice tour, great scenery, nice service. We've seen dolphins, too. However, more boats are on the way, so as soon as the dolphins are sighted, everyone goes there. That gave us a not-so-good feeling for protecting the animals.

    Velada muy agradable, bebidas caliente.

    fermin_G, Sep 2024
    Indicar que nos tocó unos asientos en el interior, hacia mucho calor. Pusieron la bebida nada más salir y al poco estaban caliente, la antecion fue buena, vimos delfines y la ruta fue bonita. Me sorprendio el pecado, estaba caliente y muy rico. En nuestra mesa estuvieron también, unos italo- canadienses y tuvimos una velada muy agradable. El vino era muy malo.

    War ein sehr schöner...

    Norbert_G, Jun 2024
    War ein sehr schöner Abend haben viele Delphine gesehen. Die Betreuung am Bord war sehr gut auch das Essen. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

    Gut organisierter schöner...

    Mirja_E, Oct 2023
    Gut organisierter schöner Ausflug. Essen schmeckte gut. Getränke waren auch ausreichend vorhanden. Freundliches Personal.

    Ein „Muss“ bei einem Kroatien-Urlaub

    Meike_K, Aug 2023
    Die Tour war sehr schön. Viele Delphine gesehen, schönen Sonnenuntergang gesehen, sehr freundliches Personal an Board und leckere gegrillte Makrele gegessen. Rundum ein tolles Event mit super Service!!! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

    Ein toller Abschluss unserer Kroatienreise!!

    Timour_D, Jul 2023
    Wir hatten heute einen tollen Ausflug. Alles hat gepasst: der Treffpunkt war einfach zu finden, das Boot war nicht so groß und wir hatten tolle Plätze, das Essen war einfach aber schmackhaft. Auch hatten wir Glück und haben Delphine gesehen! Ein Danke an das nette Team, welches wirklich bemüht war Delphine zu finden - der Ausflug hat durch die Suche etwas länger gedauert (3,5 Stunden)! Eine absolute Empfehlung!!

    A recommander les yeux fermés

    STEPHANIE_R, Jul 2023
    Nous avons passé un excellent moment à l'occasion de ce sunset dolphin tour. Tout était parfait, l'équipage était aux petits oignons, la météo agréable, le repas excellent (poisson grillé) et cerise sur le gâteau, nous avons cette immense chance de pouvoir observer des dauphins ! A recommander sans hésiter !
