Brijuni National Park

Fabulous. In my opinion the real gem of Croatian tourism. We were there last week having visited quite some years ago. It was as beautiful as ever. A ton of things to see and do. The island is large enough that you can find your own space, it never feels too crowded. We hired an electric buggy, 300 euros for the whole day, fits 4 adults. Get the 9 am ferry across, bring a picnic, rent a buggy and enjoy visiting Roman ruins, dinosaur footprints, the safari park and a ton of other fascinating things. The museum is a must visit attraction and there’s no extra charge to visit it. You can also eat at the hotel, on the day we were there they offered great food and generous portions for 35 euros per person (lunch). Highly recommended. Hope to return soon.

Nice place. We bought a 4 hour tour by NP with a guide, boat and train, but if you really want to feel this island, it requires day or two at least. Zoo doesn't have a lot of animal, but walking or swimming are always necessary. Yugoslavian spirit is omnipresent. Hotel (Neptun if memory serves me) is not expensive comparing with coastal hotels. Playing golf is guaranteed fun. Sedačni pozdravi za Ivana, vodiča. Svako dobro

The trip to Brijuni Island left a special mark on me and my boyfriend. We didn’t expect it to be that beautiful. Even though we spent the whole day there, we could have easily stayed longer. Everything is super accessible by bike — the stunning ancient ruins, botanical garden, mini zoo, dinosaur steps and safari. At one point, while we were sitting on the grass, a group of deer suddenly ran by! It truly felt like we were in heaven for a day — definitely worth a visit!

Brijuni was fun. We decided to walk the island as bike rentals were a little pricey but it was a pretty brutal walk on a hot day (88°F/31°C). If you want to see everything and have younger kids or trouble walking distances rent a golf cart or bikes. We got fairly sunburnt too as a lot of the time there was no shade. But, the safari park was neat, and the Byzantine castrum and St Mary's basilica were really cool. We walked around the upper and main parts of the island and skipped the southern peninsula and it took about 5-6 hours.

Very nice island! We've been there for a couple of houra and toured the island by bike. There was literally nobody around so we had all the attractions for us. Very recommended!

Very interesting and amazing place. The water us Cristal clear... the trees simply incredible and the peace unforgettable. We spent the most the day and absolutely loved it. There are couple of beaches to relax and take a swim. Few bars and restoraurants and plenty to see and enjoy

Interesting tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The little train tour was good but it would be nice to stop long enough to go and see the dinosaur foot prints. Its a half an hour walk back there and as it is 34 degrees we were too hot to do that or rent a bike. The golf carts would be handy but we felt a bit pricey for 50 euro and hour. The safari park is a small collection of animals that are descendants from animals gifted to Tito and there is a museum of the animals that passed that have been taxidermied. There are alot of animals in there which is a bit sad as so many wouldn't have thrived on that island, a lot of them are very small for their species. The elephant on the island is apparently happy there but I'd say at least give her a bigger enclosure so she can roam more freely. It seems very small and she's alone . The Roman ruins are very interesting, the boat house museum is great and the beaches are beautiful . Crystal clear and warm. And look out for the deer that roam freely around the island. Over all we had a great day, not exactly what we were expecting but fun non the less. Definitely worth a visit.

Great experience and family friendly park, from guided tour to free tours with electric cars. Ton of history and great nature. Trips from Fažana going very often so recommend starting from there, all is very well organized.
