Recommended overall
Food okay, nice tour, lovely and friendly staff. A little more time in the cave and less on the island would be desirable.

Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pula.
How much does Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch 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 Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pula, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch?
+
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 Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch 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 Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch?
+
Included: Welcome drink at the start of the tour; and Lunch. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch?
+
CHECK - IN 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE TOUR STARTS At our meeting point the first thing you will notice is our advertising desk in the form of a boat and a large LIGHT BLUE PARASOL. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Pirate Boat Tour from Medulin: Blue Cave & Porer with Lunch offered in?
+
