Giovanni gave us lots of information about the coastline and area and went out of his way to take us back when he knew more dolphins around. The trip was a birthday gift for one of our group & they loved it. Would highly recommend this trip …thank you Giovanni”

Search for dolphins with marine scientists, learn about Sardinia’s sea life, and snorkel in Capo Caccia’s protected waters near Alghero.

“Conoscendo già la zona, cercavamo un’attività diversa dal solito giro turistico e abbiamo avuto la fortuna di scoprire il Summer Tour alla ricerca di delfini. Le indicazioni per il ritrovo sono state perfette, e l’orario puntualissimo. Fabio, la nostra guida, è stato esaustivo nelle spiegazioni e ci ha subito informati che potevamo non incrociare i delfini. Invece abbiamo avuto fortuna e oltre a un gruppo di 7 delfini abbiamo avvistato anche una balena. Lo snorkeling guidato ci ha poi dato un ulteriore stimolo al rispetto del mare e dei suoi abitanti. Un’esperienza interessante e istruttiva, consigliatissima.”

Review of Olbia’s 3.5-hour dolphin and snorkeling boat tour, with Capo Figari views, Figarolo swims, snacks, and practical booking tips.

“Due to very windy weather on Wednesday we were asked if it was possible for us to change the tour to Friday (with a full refund if we couldnt). After a little replaning of our trip to Sardinia we managed to stay in Olbia for two additional nights. What can is say? The trip with Antonio was absolutely worth the replaning! The trip itself is about 3 to 3 1/2 hours long and full of great memorable moments. At first we went to the place where some Dolphin family’s live and we saw them like 4-5 times, even fully jumping out of the water! After that we went on to…”
