Details
The experience of a lifetime awaits you! Make the most of your holiday in Sardinia and don't miss this boat trip to Capo Figari with dolphin watching, the most loved aquatic mammal by young and old. You will also have the opportunity to snorkel in the most beautiful bays of the Marine Park of La Maddalena and Capo Figari.
We will navigate south along the Costa Smeralda rounding Capo Ferro and then following the Golfo del Pevero, the Nibani islands up to the Island of Mortorio and its splendid beach. After about an hour, we will reach the picturesque limestone cliffs of Capo Figari. We will then continue to Cala Moresca and Golfo Aranci, known by locals for numerous sightings of bottlenose dolphins, thanks to the presence of numerous fish breeding tanks.
As we reach the area of the fishponds and the island of Figarolo, we will stop for an hour, with plenty of time to snorkel or reach the island by swimming. In this stop, we will have excellent opportunities to spot bottlenose dolphins, and then head back to the north. We will continue sailing north to reach a wild area of the Marine Park where we will stop for a second swimming and snorkeling stop. Around 12.30 pm we will depart north to arrive at Poltu Quatu around 1 pm.

Friendly team, reliable transfer, good communication beforehand via WhatsApp, smooth operation. We saw dolphins, visited several locations, and were very considerate of nature and the animals—which I think is extremely important (there was no mass tourism or rush).
