Dolphin Watching & Snorkel Tour from Golfo Aranci

Join a small-group expert-led boat excursion into the Cetacean Sanctuary — one of Europe's richest marine corridors — for near-guaranteed sightings of bottlenose and striped dolphins in open Sardinian waters.

What to expect

Depart from the port aboard a rigid inflatable or catamaran with a certified naturalist guide who knows these waters intimately. Within minutes you're in open sea scanning for fin breaks; sightings of bottlenose and striped dolphins are remarkably consistent. After the encounter, the boat anchors at a secret snorkel spot near Capo Figari's underwater cliffs teeming with sea bream and octopus. A chilled prosecco aperitivo rounds off the return.
