"Incredulous" means skeptical, unbelieving, or not willing or inclined to believe. For example, "When the manager claimed that his fund had earned 18% interest annually for the last three years, we were incredulous."

Sometimes people confuse "incredulous" with "incredible", which means unbelievable, usually in the sense of being amazing, as in an incredible performance or an incredible achievement. One way to remember the difference is that, in general, people are incredulous (doubting) about something, but things(e.g., events, claims, stories) are incredible.
