Details
Get ready to go on a unique adventure with this boat trip to Tavolara Island, as you have the opportunity to swim and snorkel in some of the most spectacular places of Sardinia. Visiting Capo Ceraso, Spiaggia le Tre Sorelle, and Molara Islet will not only be a beautiful and relaxing experience but will also make you feel truly on holiday!
Starting off from the marina of Olbia, we immediately head to one of the highlights of this trip, reaching the stunning Capo Ceraso. Here we drop anchor at Spiaggia le Tre Sorelle, where you have time for one of the numerous swimming and snorkeling stops in its crystal-clear waters. After this, we continue towards Isola Cavalli and Isola Piana, two hidden gems offering breathtaking landscapes and excellent snorkeling spots.
Next, we make our way to Tavolara, a spectacular limestone massif overlooking the sea, a paradise for trekking enthusiasts, and a true beauty for the eyes. As we set anchor in the waters of Cala Spalmatore di Terra, a beach with fine white sand and transparent water, you can enjoy a brunch based on cold cuts and finger food, accompanied by a selection of wines.
We then head towards Molara, where you can experience the famous natural Pools of Molara. The shallow seabed of white sand creates a mesmerizing turquoise effect, providing a protected environment for rich marine fauna and flora. Our journey continues with a stop at Cala Girgolu and the iconic Sassi Piatti, where you can marvel at the unique rock formations sculpted by nature over time.
The last stop of our adventure is back at Tavolara before we set sail towards Olbia. As we head back, you will be served an apéritif based on local products and wines, the perfect way to end a day filled with exploration and relaxation in one of the most beautiful marine areas of Sardinia.

A fantastic relaxing and comfortable day out with a great host. This is the second time we did this trip, because we enjoyed it so 3 years ago. Marco is the perfect person to join for a day out, the day feels very laid back, but we visit many beautiful spots to swim. Plus his boat is very comfortable, drinks are served along with a beautiful lunch prepared by his wife, including meats and cheese and limoncello produced by his family. You will not regret taking this trip and enjoy the experience.
