Tours and attractions

Plan to spend one to two hours on a professionally guided sightseeing tour in the town of Pula, which is renowned for its ancient Roman structures. The most famous structure, the Pula Amphitheater, dates from the first century AD and is the sixth largest Roman amphitheatre in the world.

After a pleasant drive, arrive in the small Slovenian town of Postojna, where you can see one of the most famous and beautiful caves in Europe. You can ride an electric train through part of the 22-kilometre cave, but visitors must walk two kilometres on foot to explore the most beautiful sections.

Arena Hotels & Apartments offers attractive and unforgettable programmes filled with excitement and adrenaline. Options include rides through towns and along country paths, horseback riding through nature, lunch on a Western-style ranch, a Jeep safari and cave touring.

Did you know that Pula was the main Austro-Hungarian wartime naval port, the biggest and the strongest in the Mediterranean in its time? Experience this part of Pula’s turbulent history.

Swimming at the mouth of the river Rasa is an unforgettable experience that will provide a new perspective and a view of the Blaz bay. Horseback riders will pave paths through thickets of Mediterranean vegetation and end the trip by swimming with their horse in the sea. The full-day tour ends with lunch and socialising while riding back to the ranch.

The park stretches more than 40,000 square metres and features 15 actual-size dinosaurs. The dinos make noises, close their eyelids, breathe, open their mouths, and move their legs, tails and heads.

The experienced guides at Diving Center Shark offer full-day diving trips in numerous locations including wrecks, rocks, tunnels and walls. You can rent full diving equipment for recreational and technical diving, purchase new equipment or service your own. They are a registered PADI 5 * IDC (Instructor Development Center) and MARES diving centre.

This 5,000-square-metre water park offers plenty of excitement with high doses of adrenalin on 20 different slides that stretch more than 1.2 kilometres. Choose a high and steep slide for guaranteed thrills, hop in one with dinghies for family-friendly fun, or ride down a state-of-the-art tubular slide for varying incline angles.

Pump up your adrenaline and see the beauties of Istria. The excursion starts at Kažela, where a convoy of buggies embarks on the narrow paths along the coast of Marlera, which gives a beautiful view of the smaller island towards Ližnjan and Medulin.

In the heart of Istria, near the village of Feština and the town of Žminj, lies a cave of exceptional beauty: the Kingdom of Feštini. Safe walkways make this attraction accessible to every visitor. The cave overwhelms with its beautiful dripstone formations.

This excursion to Motovun and Graćišće is intended for gourmands and those who simply wish to enjoy superior food surrounded by the beautiful Istrian landscape. On this tour, you can taste Croatian culinary delicacies in a typical Istrian tavern.

The abundant greenery takes you back to nature while the vast blue of the Adriatic Sea awakens your hidden senses. In Istria, visitors can find a labyrinth of wine roads, olive oil roads, lavender, wild asparagus, mushrooms, homemade cheeses, magnificent truffles with game and crab, lobsters, fish and first-class mussels.
