Five hours on the Adriatic, two islands, one freshly prepared meal.

A five-hour cruise through Brijuni National Park combines a scenic route past the archipelago's islands with a snorkeling stop at Sv. Jerolim, where you swim and explore the seabed in your own time. Lunch and unlimited drinks are served aboard the traditional wooden boat Lucija (or drinks only aboard Emilio, depending on your choice at checkout). A live English-speaking guide narrates the route. The experience suits all fitness levels and families with small children.

The Experience

The boat leaves with a panoramic cruise around Brijuni's islands while lunch is prepared onboard—a freshly cooked fish, meat or vegetarian meal served with ice-cold white wine and unlimited water, Coke and Fanta. You spend the first part of the morning and early afternoon taking in the archipelago's coastline and learning the history of the islands from your guide, all without leaving your seat or having to arrange a separate meal stop.

The snorkeling happens at Sv. Jerolim, one of the 14 islands in the park. You get mask and snorkel included, and the time there is unscheduled—swim where you want, snorkel as long as you like, or simply lie on the pebble beach under the shade of Mediterranean pines. The water is clear enough to see the seabed and the marine life moving through it. No experience required; the stop is self-guided, so you set your own pace and depth.

Two boats run this route depending on which option you choose at checkout. The LUNCH & DRINKS option boards the traditional wooden boat Lucija, where the meal is part of the day. The DRINKS ONLY option uses the boat Emilio and skips the onboard lunch, keeping the same route and snorkeling stop. Either way, the five-hour window includes the cruise, the meal service (if selected), the snorkeling time and the return. Note that entry to Sv. Jerolim costs extra—€7 for adults, €4 for children aged 8–17, and free for children under 8—and is paid in cash on arrival.

Is this one for you?Choose the LUNCH & DRINKS option if you want a full meal and wine as part of the day without stopping ashore; pick DRINKS ONLY if you prefer to eat separately or travel lighter. Either way, the snorkeling is self-guided, so you control how much time you spend in the water versus relaxing on the beach.
