How the regular tour works

The tour in the order you experience it.

Fažana: the ticket office and the boat

Veliki Brijun: the guided tour

On the island a guide leads the program. The tour includes a ride on the tourist train of about one hour, the safari park and the museum exhibitions.

Back to Fažana

The return boat is part of the ticket. Do not plan a tight connection afterward, because the whole tour takes about 3.5 hours.

Brijuni ticket prices in 2026

Each price is shown as low season, then high season. Low season runs from January 1 to May 31 and from October 1 to December 31. High season runs from June 1 to September 30. Prices include visitor insurance and VAT.

The self-guided app tour is a different program from the guided package with the train, so do not compare the two prices one to one. A dog ticket costs €15, with the exception of assistance dogs.

The autumn offer, October 23 to November 1, 2026

For this period the park announced a reduced price for the guided tour for individual guests: €17 for adults and €12 for children aged 7–18. It applies only in those dates and is not the regular price.

Outside the offer, the regular low-season price is €35 for adults. During the autumn promotion the park also mentions Hotel Istra and Neptun, with boat trips and park entry included in the stays it describes. Do not assume that this applies to every booking rate.

Buying tickets and groups

Individual guests are advised to buy in advance for the guided tour in their preferred language. Reduced tickets work differently. Reserve them by email and pay at the office at Brionska 10 in Fažana 30 minutes before departure.

Groups start at 25 people. For groups, the guided adult price is €30 in low season and €40 in high season. Group reservation is obligatory.

Mali Brijun has its own price list and is a separate visit. Do not mix it up with Veliki Brijun. A private boat trip around the islands is also not the same as a visit on land, because only the park tour includes the train, the safari park and the museums.

Dogs, accessibility and what to bring

Dogs must be on a leash on the island. They may not enter the train, the museums or the safari park, so the regular tour is not suited to everyone with a dog.

Bring water and sun protection. Wear shoes that suit walking on paths. Because boat and opening times change with the season, a single daily departure all year is not a safe assumption.
