Details
If you are looking for a unique adventure to get to know the sea's most sociable mammals, our dolphin watching and snorkeling boat trip is exactly what you need! Departing from Alghero, on board our modern, sleek boat with our expert researchers, you will have the opportunity to observe dolphins and learn about their characteristics.
The first part of the excursion is focused on research and, thanks to our scientists, the probability of sighting is over 80%. As soon as we spot the animals, we will have to follow a behavioural protocol to minimize the disturbance caused by our presence. We will tell you about their biology and attitude and listen to their sounds. We will also be able to recognize the dolphins by their dorsal fins and understand their age and health condition.
We will then stop for a swim and snorkel in the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia and Isola Piana. The waters of Sardinia are famous for their transparency and crystal-clear colour, and you will be able to swim and explore the seabed. When our adventure is over, we return to the port of Alghero.

Over 93% of reviewers give this dolphin watching and snorkeling tour from Alghero five stars, praising it as a "Unique experience!". The crew, including the frequently mentioned guide Fabio, is celebrated for being incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly, combining sustainable tourism with genuine research. While most tours successfully spot dolphins, a few note that sightings aren't guaranteed. The guided snorkeling in a beautiful cove is a major highlight for families and couples, though the water can sometimes be chilly. This well-organized boat trip is highly recommended for its respectful approach to nature and great value.
