Brijuni National Park – Panorama boat excursion

One of the best ways to get to know and experience Brijuni National Park and its archipelago is our panorama boat excursion. As a welcome to our boat excursion the guests will be offered a refreshing beverage.

First we take a slow panoramic sail toward the famous Veli Brijun Island. Veli Brijun is the biggest island of Brijuni National Park. We are coming close to the island. Boat is going very slow so you can enjoy taking pictures and enjoy in beautiful nature Brijuni National Park offers. When we pass east side of Veli Brijun on the right we will see Mali Brijun island with the fortress dating from Austro-Hungarian period.

When we pass Mali Brijun we come close to the Vanga island which was the ex summer residency of famoues Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito.

After Vanga we enjoy in 5 small islands: Sv. Marko, Okrugljak, Supinić, Gaz and Supin.
Vrsar is the next island we see. A bunker was built here to defend the islands at the end of the 20th century. Now that bunker is only visible from the boat excursion cause the island is closed for public.
Galija, Grunj and Madona are the next islands we see from the boat before having a stop at island Sveti Jerolim where we have a pause for 2 or 3 hours. If you don’t want to stop on the island you can come back after 5 minutes when the people get of the boat.
