Boat Trip from Porto San Paolo to Tavolara with Snorkeling & Snacks

What to Expect

Enjoy an unforgettable day at sea with our half-day boat trip from Porto San Paolo, exploring the stunning coastline of the Tavolara area with swimming, snorkeling, and snacks included. After a warm welcome on board and a short initial briefing, we will set off on a scenic navigation along some of the most picturesque stretches of coast, passing rocky outcrops, small islands, and hidden coves. Our first stop will be either Doctor’s Beach or the Tavolara Isthmus, ideal for swimming, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or simply relaxing on board while the boat rests in calm, sheltered conditions.

The experience continues towards Tavolara Bay, where you will admire dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea and the evocative “Ear of Ulysses” cave, a natural formation shaped by erosion. We will then reach the famous Pools of Molara, renowned for their incredible turquoise colors and perfect for another swim or snorkeling session among schools of fish. After the activities, you can enjoy a relaxing snack break on board with fresh seasonal fruit, traditional Sardinian pastries, and drinks. The tour proceeds with a final stop at either Sassi Piatti or the picturesque Isola dei Cavalli, both offering unique and beautiful scenery. The return to Porto San Paolo will be slow and relaxing, allowing you to fully enjoy the last moments of this memorable experience at sea.
