- Mopedersen0 contributionsAvoid unless very calm waterShip rolls incredibly leading to seasick children after 15 minutes - very long and uncomfortable tripWritten July 25, 2018
- Inbar B0 contributionsWonderful team lovely sailing :)We came on a late August day with my parents of about 70'ish and our 6 YA son. The captain and crew man (diver) were very warm and lovely men. The captain let my son to steer the ship for a little while and he was ecstatic :))))Written September 6, 2017
- HelenR0gers0 contributionsGreat 2 hour tripVery friendly crew. 2 hour boat trip was perfect for my kids. Great to see the fish out of the underwater windows. There was a diver who showed us some sea life through the windows then brought back an array of creatures from the sea which we got to look at before they were returned to the sea. Recommend this trip.Written August 25, 2017
- Escargot664910 contributionsNice attraction, especially for kidsCaptain Sasha does a great job, not only driving the boat, but also communicating with tourists in 5 languages! Very friendly (especially for children) attitude, welcome drinks, and we also experienced quite high see, another bit of fun!Written July 17, 2017
- AgotaS0 contributionsGrate fun with kidsThe boat ride was fun for the whole family. The captain and the crew were extremly nice and friendly. It is a must do program when in Umag. It was interesting to see the underwater see life and the diver even brought up to the deck a seacucumber, shells and a sea urchin.Written July 10, 2017
- Matthias I0 contributionsA lovely tripAt 37 euros for two adults and two small kids (2&4yo) this was fun for the whole family. A two hour trip from Umag to Savudrija with in our case 3 stops. The first stop gave us a view of the sea floor. They trew out bait for the fish who came in a fairly large number. The next stop gave us a view of the coast line. At the final stop at Savudrija a diver went into the water to give us a closer view of what's on the ocean floor. He brought up a seacucumber, a sea urchin and a spider crab. The kids loved it all the way. So all in all very good value for money with a good learning experience for the kids.Written August 24, 2016
- 0 contributionsA must doHad an amazing 2 hour trip on this fantastic boat with the best crew ever. The glass boat experience is fantastic however it's the 2 crew who made the difference. Lots of interaction with especially children. The addition of the 1 crew member diving to find local creatures which were then energetically spoken about then the opportunity to touch and hold them. We had crabs, sea cucumber and urchins. The icing of the whole trip for the family was when my son and daughter were invited to steer the boat on the way back. This really is a must do in Umag.Written August 18, 2016
- ninakumse0 contributionsGreat experience, especially for my 2 year baby boy ;)The most interesting thing is for sure touching sea animals like sea crab, sea cucumber, shells... ;) Children really like the captain, he is funny, all the time making jokes, parents meanwhile are enjoying the ride on the boat and everybody drink homemade elder juice ;)Written June 17, 2016

Went to Croatia for the first time and booked this tour, highly recommend. Our Captain spoke about 6 different languages and it's about a 2 hour tour. A diver goes down at one stop and retrieves some things from the ocean floor to teach you about. Informative and a good time had by all. Recommend for children as well, my 6 year old enjoyed it!

Me and my girlfriend went on this trip on the last day of our stay in Umag. We were very pleasantly greeted by the staff and enjoyed every minute with them. It was a great journey. We started from Umag and went all the way to Savudrija. On the way we could see all sorts of sea life through the windows on the bottom. Both of the staff members were very friendly and one spoke like 6 different languages. The other was a diver who brought sea urchins, crabs and a few other sea creatures up on the boat to show us. The only thing we didn't go see was the Sipar underwater town (I think it's due to it being an archaeological site now). My girlfriend and I enjoyed it very much, and it was a nice ending to our vacation.

Hardly saw any fish, not ideal for children under 3 years old. (my opinion)
Music and intercom too loud, which made children and crew loud too. It was stuffy down there where the windows were. The team tried hard and were friendly, but it was nothing special for us, more of a tiring experience. Sorry

The concept is really nice, but far too expensive for what the service offers.
Thanks God the nice diver went down to pick up some little rocks and sea bugs so to entertain the children a little. All in all a nice trip to do with clear water and nice weather, but the prices have to be reduced!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and that our diver helped make the experience fun for the children. As for the pricing, we believe it is fair considering the level of service we offer, especially when compared to similar excursions that tend to be even more expensive. We always strive to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we appreciate your input.
Best regards

We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children (17/11) people rushed to get seating in the bottom of the boat so many people including us missed out. We did keep going below deck to see if we could get a views of under the sea, but other people were not moving! (Maybe have a system so it’s taken in turns).
The views on the top deck are fantastic and you understand everything that’s going on. The crew are brilliant with children. A diver goes down onto the sea bed and retrieves some things to explain what they are. It’s quite fascinating.
All in all it’s a good trip but something needs putting in place where you can get a view of the glass bottom of the boat. That’s the whole point of going!

I attended the trip with my wife and 2 Children, 5 and 12. It was a very interesting family trip. The crew was very kind by ensuring the uniqe experience and giving our children the opportunity to drive the ship and taking in hands all the sea animals which the diver brought on the ship after his diving show. The crew is really paying attention to children, so my wife and I had a possibility to enjoy panoramic view of beautiful Istrian cost. If you are lucky, you will see dolphins in their natural environment (we were!!). So each paid kuna worth it. Definitely if in Umag, Aquavision is the best option for enjoying the day with family and making summer memories.

Why does it say entry ticket isn't included but you're thinking you're paying for the whole thing?
