Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Gulf of Oranges with Dolphin Spotting

Paddle a sea kayak through Golfo Aranci's crystalline bays, duck into a sea cave, snorkel over Posidonia meadows, and drift past Proratora island watching for bottlenose dolphins. A signature Sardinian appetiser rounds out this eco-friendly half-day on the water.

What to expect

Small groups (typically 6–8 paddlers) launch from the beach just minutes from the cruise pier, so no transfer is needed. The guide leads a gentle circuit past the white sands of Spiaggia Bianca and the rocky headland of Capo Figari, where griffon vultures soar overhead. A snorkel stop above a Posidonia meadow reveals wrasse, sea bream, and occasional octopus. The guide scans constantly for the resident dolphin pod that frequents the gulf. The outing ends with a traditional Sardinian aperitivo — cannonau wine, pecorino, and sun-dried tomatoes — on the beach.
