What to expect

Embark on a thrilling dolphin-watching excursion, available in both Italian and English. Setting sail from the scenic Mare e Rocce Beach in the coastal area of Pittulongu (Olbia) or from Olbia Marina, you'll journey towards Figarolo Island aboard an inflatable boat. This short trip takes you to an aquaculture facility that, along with the natural allure of the area, attracts a plethora of seabirds and bottlenose dolphins. By maintaining a slow speed, you'll have the opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures up close in their natural habitat. If fortune favours, you might even witness their playful jumps and acrobatics.

Guided by an expert marine biologist, you'll gain fascinating insights into the world of these aquatic mammals. However, it's important to remember that, as these dolphins are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed, nor can their exact location or numbers be predicted in advance.

The excursion also includes a swimming stop and a tour of the striking cliffs of Capo Figari, Figarolo, and Cala Moresca, some of the most mesmerising spots along the Sardinian coast.

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.
