    1. Kamenjak National Park

      As a welcome to the boat trip, guests will be offered a refreshing beverage, juice, water, aperitif. After serving aperitifs with romantic notes of music, we sail slowly along the Medulin archipelago towards the famous nature park RT Kamenjak, with a panoramic ride gently sailing around the entire nature park and its protected untouched nature, which is especially nice to experience and see from the sea side and especially at sunset.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. As we visit Cape Kamenjak, our view goes back to the giant, the largest lighthouse in the area, the famous Porer lighthouse built back in 1846 during the Austro-Hungarian era. Porer Lighthouse is the most beautiful during sunset, you need to experience it and capture it with a photo.

    3. Medulin

      After looking around and capturing with a photo of the beautiful scenery of Cape Kamenjak and Porer lighthouse, it is our way to go in search of dolphins. The chances of seeing dolphins are 50-50%, it all depends on how they look for food and move in that direction but we go to the places where they most often inhabit. In the meantime, while enjoying the beautiful scenery and reliefs of colors in the sky, we serve you a delicious dinner prepared on board, you can choose from the menu, you offer a meat, fish or vegetarian meal. Listening to the sea and accompanied by seagulls following the sunset, we return to the port of Medulin to bring our wonderful journey to an end.

    Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pula.

    How much does Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pula usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pula is not rushed.

    Is Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,066 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Pula, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting?

    +

    Around 373 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pula can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pula and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pula within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Pula?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pula experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medulin-Kamenjak 5h boat trip ALL-INCLUSIVE drinks on Sandra Boat, Dolphin Watching & Sunset Boat Tour With Drinks & optional Dinner, Medulin: All-Inclusive Pirate Boat Tour to Kamenjak Cave & Levan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Pula?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Pula?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Medulin: 85% Dolphin Sunset Cruise, All-Inclusive & Face Painting?

    +

    Included: Dinner; and wifi on board. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
