Highly recommended

I can only recommend Emilio Excursions to anyone looking for a boat trip. The wooden ship is small and in very well-maintained condition, the staff very friendly and accommodating. The food is very delicious and plentiful and there were also dolphins to see.
What is very commendable is that Captain Sandro kept a good distance from the animals and did not harass them like some others.
Nia does a super job and explains everything about Brijuni National Park.
Thank you very much, we will come back next year.

Lovely trip around the islands close to Pula. Nice food and drink. Only white wine so pick up something on the way if you would rather something else.
Dolphins and sunset both ticked off.

We booked with Luka. On the ship, we were looked after by Gloria. She was very competent and told us everything worth knowing. She was very personable and always with the people. The food was also good. It is a pity we only saw the dolphins briefly. But at least.
