What to expect

Take part in a dolphin watching excursion accompanied by a marine biologist.

You'll set sail from Bados towards the island of Figarolo. Here, you can watch bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. With a bit of luck, you might even see them doing acrobatic leaps and playing! Note that these dolphins are wild animals and therefore sightings cannot be guaranteed, nor is it possible to predict in advance where exactly they will be or how many will be sighted.

An expert marine biologist will be with you all the way, giving you information about these amazing animals.

The "Shared tour" and "Private tour" options also include one or two swim stops. A R.I.B. tour around the dramatic cliffs of Capo Figari, Figarolo and Cala Moresca, some of the most beautiful spots along the Sardinian coast, is included with both the half-day options. Information handouts in several languages (Italian, English, French, German and Spanish) will be provided on board for your convenience.

Activities

Guided tour of Costa Smeralda with Porto Cervo and beach time

San Pantaleo is known for its low-key rustic charm, with narrow streets and stone buildings that give it a traditional and authentic feel. The village square is the heart of San Pantaleo, and it is here that visitors can browse the small shops run by local artisans, selling traditional and unique handicrafts and Sardinian produce.In total contrast, Costa Smeralda is a sleek destination with Porto Cervo at its luxurious heart. Take a guided tour to see its marina packed with millionaire yachts and maybe mingle with the jet set. Soak up all the glamour from one of the pavement-side cafes, or in the designer shops and high-end boutiques.The last stop is Baia Sardinia, a glorious beach where you can enjoy some free time to relax, swim, or take a break in a beach bar. The fine sand invites you to linger, while the beach is bookended by rocky outcrops perfect for snorkelling or rock-pooling. We'll take a scenic route back to base with views over the coast and countryside.
