      Verudela Panorama: The boat sails along the high, rocky cliffs of the Verudela peninsula, which are a signature landmark of Pula's coastline. Verudela Canyon: You will reach one of Pula's most stunning natural attractions. This is an impressive, narrow sea gorge flanked by tall cliffs that looks spectacular from the water and is perfect for photos.

    Feeding frenzy while diving

    Family friendly - very good, the guide was funny and awesome with the kids. Lots of information about the local area and the wildlife. Diving with the fish was a blast for everyone involved - feeding frenzy included. Would do it again, the kids loved it and we had a lot of fun.

    Response from the operator: Thank you sooo much!

    A perfect sunset and loads of fish!

    We wanted to book a boat trip while we were in Pula and after reading reviews this seemed a perfect fit. We didn't want to spend a full day on the boat and weren't attracted by those that offered the chance to feed seagulls! The departure point suited us and our hosts Mateo and Ivan were very friendly and knowledgeable. We were blessed with a perfect evening with calm seas and loads of hungry fish. I wished I had taken my swimming stuff with me. Excellent value for money and a great way to see a bit of the Islands near Pula.

    Response from the operator: Thank you soo much! Rio Boat Pula ⛵

    Had a nice time.

    Had a really nice time with our two children on this tour. The guides were friendly and well informed. Feeding the fish was good fun - didn't see dolphins but that wasn't on porpoise.

    Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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 Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 33 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 Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish?

    +

    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 Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish?

    +

    Around 12 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish 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 Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish?

    +

    Included: Glass boat tour; Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Use of snorkeling equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish?

    +

    Port Bunarina, the last boat on the right side of the port. Free parking is available near the Bunarina port. Arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Pula Glass Boat Cruise: Undersea Viewing & Swim with Fish if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
