Program Reviews

During my 3-month internship in Medulin, I was fortunate to have a highly supportive boss and colleagues encouraged growth and made every challenge feel like an opportunity to learn. Their guidance and constructive feedback were instrumental in building my confidence and skills.

Also memorable was the chance to connect with colleagues and friends from around the world. This diverse group brought different perspectives, enriched my cultural understanding, and created a sense of camaraderie that made the experience even more enjoyable. It was an incredible journey of professional development and meaningful friendships. Very grateful for this experience, chance to develop myself, meet new people and discover beautiful Istria.

For the first time ever in my life I've experienced how does it feel to be a seasonal worker abroad. When I arrived at the beginning of June I was pretty nervous - everything was brand new for me. First of all I had to learn what am I actually offering and also how should I promote that offer. Now I can say my arrival was perfectly timed - high season started in the second half of June so I had enough time to learn everything and fully use all those skills during July and August.
There's no need to be worried - all of your colleagues are trying to help you with everything. At least it was like that in my case - I was lucky enough to meet such an amazing group of people who I wouldn't call just colleagues, but also friends. We spent a lot of time together not just at work, but also in our free time which moved my summer experience in Medulin to completely different level.
Being a sales representative during high season in Medulin can be exhausting - you can work in high temperatures for many hours almost every day... But if you'll accept those conditions, will listen advice from your more experienced colleagues and will improve your sales skills, then it'll really pay off.
This internship was without any doubts the biggest challenge of my life so far. And the feeling I succeeded is wonderful. This experience helped me not just professionally, but especially personally. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the crew, Medulin Excursions!

I had an amazing experience working as an animator at Medulin Excursions Sandra, a company that specializes in boat trips in Medulin, Croatia. This job was not only fun but also very rewarding.

Working on the boat allowed me to interact with many different people, both locals and tourists. This was a great opportunity to practice my language skills. I started learning new phrases in different languages, which helped me connect better with our guests.

As an animator, my main role was to create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone on board. This experience taught me how to be more outgoing and confident. I learned how to speak in front of a crowd and keep their attention, which is a skill I will carry with me in the future.

One of the best parts of my job was the beautiful scenery. The boat trips took us to stunning locations along the coast, where we could swim and explore. Each trip was unique, and I always looked forward to the next adventure.

Working at Medulin Excursions Sandra also allowed me to meet incredible people. I made great friends with my colleagues, and we supported each other throughout the season. We shared many laughs and created bonds. Being part of such a close-knit team made my job even more enjoyable.

Another benefit of working here was the opportunity to improve my personal skills. I became more independent and learned how to solve problems quickly. Sometimes, unexpected situations arose, like changes in the weather or special requests from guests. I learned to think on my feet and adapt to whatever came my way. This flexibility has helped me grow both personally and professionally.

My time in Medulin also taught me the importance of teamwork. I learned how to communicate effectively with my team, and I realized that everyone’s contribution was valuable. This experience has shown me how important collaboration is in achieving common goals.

Overall, my experience at Medulin Excursions Sandra was truly special. I gained confidence in myself and my abilities. I learned new languages, made lifelong friends, and created beautiful memories. The joy of seeing our guests happy and satisfied made all the hard work worthwhile.

I am grateful for this opportunity and would recommend working at Medulin Excursions Sandra to anyone looking for a fun and enriching experience. It was a summer filled with adventure, learning, and friendship, and I will always remember the time I spent there.

I went to Medulin Excursions to work from may to september without having so much experience and I really learn thanks to the crew and my colleagues, who always were ready to help everyone, how to manage people in all kind of situations and all about the position. I improved my English, and thanks to this I want to learn also Italian and maybe Deutsch.
I learnt a lot about the job but honestly I also grew up in a personal way.
I recommend to try this program even though its a hard work, because it's really worth it.

Working for Team Sandra this summer have been a great adventure for me. I worked as a sales manager/booker which has improved my language and communication skills, problem solving skills, and overall, my confindence. Working in this field made me step out of my comfort zone, completely.

As a booker you have to stand a lot, write tons of flyers, answering questions, and interact with potencial costumers, here you will have the opportunity to know the world only by speaking with people from diferent nacionalities.
The team work and support here, is amazing, everyone is usually willing to help you when needed, with presentations, bookings, answering questions, etc.

As a booker, you are working for the company, but you are also working for yourself, you're rewarded by your effort. Don't expect this to be an easy, no stress and low effort job, it's not, cause you will just get rewarded by the effort you put into it, so learn, focus and kill conpetition!🤫
You will hear a lot of no's, mainly in the beginning, but once you get your first "yes", everything will change, you will gain confidence, feel more motivated, which will guide to the sucess.

This job gave me and will give you experience, sales knowledge, huge personal growth, friends and great memories that will last a lifetime, so don't lose this opportunity, cause I won't also!

See you next year in Medulin!🤪

P.S: push for sunset tonight!

The programme is an ideal place for students. A multicultural environment, colleagues from different countries, a flexible schedule, the possibility to come for 2,3 or 6 months - all this is provided by the host organisation.
The programme is a mixture between work and a vacation. It is definetely a good place to meet new people, learn new languages or improve that level that you have now.

Free accommodation, an opportunity to spend your summer on a boat, meeting new people and helpful managers - that are the reasons why i would highly recommend this programme.

This internship was a great experience. It was a combination of a vacation in a beautiful place and a job that allowed me to grow in sales and learn new customer service skills and improve language skills. A great team and support from the management made me acclimate quickly to the new environment.
It's also a good opportunity to step out of the comfort zone, use your voice and become more open and talkative with everyone around.
Also during this time you will meet a lot of new people and learn about their culture and just have fun.
I would definitely recommend!

It was my 2nd year as an intern in Medulin Excursions, and again it was very nice, I improved a lot of my skills such as language,soft skills, customer serivce and many more of them. All the informations which i got before the internship about it were coherent with what I was doing in the company.
This internship is a good way to get a vacation and work at the same time so i really recommend it to people who are not scared of sun.
I really enjoyed my time there for 2nd season and I am of thinking of coming back for another one.

This traineeship was really exclusive, interesting and useful for me . For sure I will recommend it for another students , who want to spend active summer time in the seaside and on the boat . In this company you can meet a lot of people from different countries and different nationalities, and they have perfect interactions with you and each others!!!! The managers here are really responsible and helpful, if you have any problems you can call them even in the midnight 🤘. I want also to thank another guys who we’re working with me, It was really nice summer 🫶🏼

Great opportunity to gain experience in sales and make money! You will be able to meet people from all around the world and learn a lot about other cultures. Also a great opportunity to improve language skills, probably a unique one. After three months I'm able to speak Italian on a conversational level. If you know German or want to learn/improve it this place is 100% for you. The atmosphere between colleagues stayed really warm all the time, I made a lot of friends. But be prepared for a lot of sun and the heat almost every day, you better have good endurance for this job!
