This three-hour boat tour departs from the port of Pula aboard the Europa, a modern vessel certified to carry up to 148 passengers but limited to 120 for comfort. The tour begins by traveling through the 4.5-kilometer-long Pula Bay, passing historical forts Muzil and Štinjan built by Austria to protect the bay and port. After leaving the bay, the boat cruises around all 14 islands of Brijuni National Park. Along the route, guests see the Peneda lighthouse, the southernmost point of the park, and Vanga Island, where the White Villa residence of former Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito is located; this area is strictly protected and can only be viewed from the boat. The tour continues to Mali Brijun Island, the second largest island, passing Fort Brioni Minor, the largest fort on the Adriatic coast, now used as the summer Ulysses Theatre. The boat also passes Kupelwieser's Peace building, part of the architectural heritage from the late 19th century when Brijuni became an exclusive summer resort. Veliki Brijun Island, the largest and most visited island, features landscaped parks and preserved native vegetation; part of it is reserved for official government use. The cruise passes the Bronze Age Hillfort (Gradina) with its preserved walls and necropolis. Throughout the tour, a live guide provides information about the local bottlenose dolphins, including their behavior, social habits, and feeding. When dolphins are spotted in the waters around the islands, the boat stops to allow guests to watch them from the deck. Dinner is served on board along with unlimited drinks, including Istrian red and white wine, soft drinks, iced tea, and water. The Europa offers an air-conditioned lounge, outdoor decks, two toilets, a kitchen, a bar, stereo sound, and free Wi-Fi. The tour concludes at sunset with views of the illuminated Pula amphitheater and the famous Pula luminous giants as the boat returns to the port of Pula.
