2.Tour to Figarolo Island with the possibility to observe dolphins

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 302 reviews · 3 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $72Best value

Cruise from Olbia toward Figarolo, watch for bottlenose dolphins near the fish farm, then snorkel in clear water at Figarolo or Cala Moresca. Guides such as Tito, Davide, Mario, and Beatrice lead small groups of up to 10, with masks, drinks, and a snack included.

“This was a wonderful experience and absolutely made my girlfriend's birthday. The guys running the boat trip were constantly scouring the horizon for fins as we travelled, and put the effort in throughout to make sure we had the best chance to see dolphins in the wild, which of course has no guarantee, but in our case we were able to. A stop off with some snorkeling and a tasty snack and drink in a quiet shallow area was wonderful too, and I saw some beautiful fish while snorkeling. The trip also took in some breathtaking views along the cliffs. Cannot recommend this highly enough!”
