Pula: Sunset Dolphin Watching Cruise to NP Brijuni

Details

Enjoy a relaxing sunset dolphin-watching cruise from Pula towards the beautiful waters near Brijuni National Park. We will depart from Pula aboard the Martinabela and sail along the Adriatic coast in search of wild bottlenose dolphins.

During the excursion, you can relax on board, enjoy panoramic sea views and watch the sun slowly set over the horizon. As the evening light creates a magical atmosphere, the captain will search the areas where dolphins are most often seen. If we are lucky, you will be able to observe these amazing animals swimming, playing and feeding in their natural habitat.

The boat offers several comfortable viewing areas, including open decks and a panoramic upper deck, which is perfect for taking photos of the sunset and dolphins. For extra comfort, guests can also use the air-conditioned indoor salon.

Croatia has an extraordinary natural treasure: the last dolphins of the Adriatic. Only one species still lives there today: the bottlenose dolphins known from dolphinariums and the television series “Flipper” or “Good dolphin” (Dobri Dupin) in Croatian.

The “Adriatic dolphins” stay close to the Croatian coast and islands throughout the year, usually less than 5 kilometers from the land.

Bottlenose dolphins have a relatively large and curved back fin. They are very adaptable, active and curious. Their average life expectancy is 30 years, in some cases they can even be 50 years old. (Delphinschutz.org)
