Pula Boat Tour with Snorkeling & Cliff Jumping - Private Half-Day Charter

Some groups want to see the coast; others want to jump straight into it. This private Pula boat tour with snorkeling is firmly for the second kind. Over four hours the day is built around time in the water - snorkeling over clear seabeds, jumping from the boat, and, for the brave, leaping off low cliffs into deep blue bays. The boat is reserved for your group alone, so the whole trip flexes around how adventurous you feel.

A Private Half-Day Charter from Pula

This is a fully private boat, not a shared excursion, departing from the Pula waterfront. With just your group on board - up to 11 guests - the skipper shapes the four hours around your preferences: more snorkeling, more cliff jumping, or a longer stop in a favourite bay. The private format means no waiting on strangers and no fixed loop, just your group and the coast.

Snorkeling in Clear Brijuni and Kamenjak Bays

The route runs toward the sheltered bays around the Brijuni Islands and the wilder coast of Cape Kamenjak, where the water is clear and calm enough to make snorkeling a pleasure. The skipper anchors in quiet coves, hands out masks, and lets you drift over the seagrass and rocks watching the fish. Because the boat is small, it reaches shallow, protected spots the big group boats never stop at.

Cliff Jumping and SUP

For the adventurous, there is optional cliff jumping from heights of up to 15 metres into deep, clear water - a highlight for thrill-seekers and a great source of GoPro footage. A stand-up paddleboard is on board too, so between jumps and snorkels you can paddle along the shoreline at your own pace. None of it is compulsory; the day works just as well for gentle swimmers who prefer to stay near the boat.

Morning or Afternoon Departure

The half-day runs as either a morning or an afternoon trip, so it fits neatly around the rest of your time in Pula. Take the morning slot and keep the afternoon for the old town and the Arena, or head out after lunch - both departures cover the same bays, snorkeling and cliff jumping.

Who This Snorkeling Tour Is For

This trip is ideal for active families with older children, groups of friends who want adventure over lounging, and anyone whose favourite part of a boat day is the swimming. With space for up to 11 guests and a flexible private format, it suits both adrenaline-seekers and those who just want plenty of time in clear water.

Why Private Beats a Group Snorkeling Trip

On a shared boat you snorkel where and when the group is told to. On a private charter you stay in the best bay as long as the water is good, skip the spots that do not appeal, and jump as many times as you like. Four private hours built entirely around your group's appetite for the water is a completely different experience from a crowded, clock-watching excursion.

What Is Included and What to Bring

The charter includes the boat and licensed skipper for the full four hours, fuel, snorkeling masks, a SUP, drinks on board and GoPro footage from the trip. Bring a towel, swimwear, sunscreen and a hat - everything else you need is already on board.

Departure, Duration and Booking

The tour lasts about four hours and departs from the Pula waterfront (Riva), a short walk from the old town. Booking includes free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and your skipper will help you move to another slot if the weather turns.
