  I'm sorry that you had such an experience, but after reading your review, I honestly feel that you may have confused this tour with another boat or excursion. We were on this tour ourselves at the end of June, and I can honestly say that, just like every other year, it was fantastic. We have been taking this excursion every year, and it has become part of our family tradition whenever we visit Pula. The food is always excellent. Our children always choose the meat menu and absolutely love it, while we adults always choose the fish menu, which is equally delicious. Everything is fresh, tasty, and very well prepared. Throughout the entire excursion, the guide was professional and spoke through a microphone, so everyone could hear clearly. We learned many interesting facts about the Brijuni Islands, their history, and their nature, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Swimming at Jerolim is always a wonderful experience. The sea is crystal clear, perfect for swimming, and the sunset is simply breathtaking. As for the dolphins, during every one of our visits we have noticed that whenever dolphins appear, the captain always switches off the engine so that passengers can quietly enjoy watching them jump. The boat remains at a safe and respectful distance, allowing everyone to admire these beautiful animals without disturbing them. Also, at no point during the excursion did anyone tell us or encourage us to feed the seagulls. Likewise, we did not witness any mistreatment or harassment of wildlife. That is why I genuinely believe there has been a misunderstanding and that you may have confused this tour with another boat or excursion. The only small issue this year was that, for some reason, we were unable to pay through their website. However, the organizers immediately accommodated us and allowed us to pay when boarding the boat, which showed us how helpful they are and how much they care about their guests. They are truly wonderful, kind, and welcoming people. Thanks to their professionalism, hospitality, and the lovely atmosphere they create, this excursion has become our favorite, and every year we look forward to coming back. Thank you, Korkyra Boat Excursions, for helping us create such wonderful memories year after year. We are already looking forward to coming back again next year!

• 2Not worth the money.

  Myself and my partner were really looking forward to the sunset boat trip. We arrived at 4.30pm as advised thinking that if we were early we would be at the front of the queue hopefully getting a seat on the top deck of the boat. We were told because we were only a party of two we had to sit at the front of the boat as the trip was sold out. It did'nt appear busy but little did we know that we would stopping at an island to pick up other passengers. Only knew the name of the island due to the sign- St.Jerolim island. The passengers were advised to sit where they sat earlier. A couple boarded and sat down and then were asked to move. They then sat down next to us and spent the trip vaping and getting drunk on the unlimited white wine. In fact the male was witnessed putting a bottle into his rucksack. The couple were very dominating in their mannerisms especially the male and because of this we did not consume any of the unlimited drinks as we felt trapped in our seats and therefore unable to help ourselves. And as for the food- my partner had a dry miserable portion of fish that tasted like it had been cooked twice. I was unable to eat my burger and cabbage as it was saturated in oil, managed a quarter of burger which was'nt pleasant, Despite the oilyness on the outside, it was dry as old boots on the inside. It did'nt help that I was feeling queasy from all the vape smoke I was forced to inhale. I spent the last part of the trip with my shirt over my mouth as I could no longer stomach the smell of the vapes. What should have been a relaxing experience for us, felt more like we were on a party boat in the end as the couple especially the male got louder and the pair had no regard for us at all. As for the.boat trip I feel like I know nothing about the Brijini National.park as there was very little commentary and when there was I could barely make out what was being said and as for the dolphins, and the amount of other boats preventing us from getting any closer, it was a case.of blink and you will miss them. Unfortunately felt that this trip was reallty not worth 50 euros each. Disappointing.

  The staff was very knowledgeable about the area and helpful with all questions we had! We got to see many groups of dolphins and a beautiful sunset.

• 5Amazing!!!

  The whole experience was amazing. The tour was chill and relaxed, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The ambiance of the ship was cozy and homely. After a busy day touring the city, it was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the tour. The staff was extremely professional, polite, and warm, with a great sense of humor. The captain of the ship is highly skilled and has great respect for the dolphins, cruising near them without rushing. There is a fantastic chef on board — I had the fish, and it was one of the best meals I had during my vacation in the city of Pula. The tour guide was excellent, with a very positive spirit, and she spoke fluent English, German, and Croatian. I would recommend this tour to everyone. It’s worth every cent, and it's a beautiful way to relax.

• 5Beautiful sunset cruise

  It was a great tour. Great wine with a beautiful sunset. Many dolphins came out towards the end. The seats are a little tight but it was not a worry.

About Pula

Pula is a port at the southern tip of Istria in Croatia, famous for a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre standing beside the harbour.

Pula's Roman amphitheatre, built in the first century AD, is among the best preserved in the world, with its outer walls standing on all sides, and concerts and film screenings are staged on the sand inside. Nearby stand the Temple of Augustus, the Arch of the Sergii and the Forum, reminders that Pula was an important Roman colony. Austro-Hungarian naval buildings add a later layer, and James Joyce taught English here in 1904 and 1905.
