Details
For a pleasant dive into nature as well as into the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia, our RIB boat trip to Tavolara Island with guided snorkeling is just the thing for you. You will find a friendly, certified guide waiting for you, who will take you to discover landscapes that will remain in your heart as well as in your eyes.
You can choose to depart from Golfo Aranci or Olbia, and from there we will reach the Tavolara Marine Protected Area. Depending on the weather conditions, our experienced captain will determine the best itinerary for you to get the most out of your experience. One of the stops we will try to make is at Capo Ceraso, precisely at its famous Spiaggia del Dottore (Doctor's Beach), whose typical tower built on the sand and contrasting with the turquoise colours of the sea is a 'natural magnet' for irresistible photographs. We will then reach the Wreck of the Chrisso, an attractive spot for diving and snorkeling sessions. Here, if the sea conditions are optimal, you will be able to swim and discover the seabed of the area and its secrets.
We will navigate towards the island of Molara to make a stop at its natural pools, another excellent spot for snorkeling before returning to our starting point.Highlights

We couldn't see the shipwreck due to rough seas, and the snorkeling at the first stop was quite basic and short. It improved with the snorkeling at Tavolara, but then the overall quality of the excursion dropped again, leaving us with a very pretty cove that didn't really serve the purpose of the tour. The guides provided very little explanation, and we felt it was expensive for what we got.

The excursion was very nice and exactly as described. Our guide Alessandro and Captain Alessio were really nice. The snorkeling excursions are varied. Perfect!
