Live a day as a researcher with the scientists of MareTerra NGO. All your curiosities about dolphins will be satisfied. Observe the researchers as they collect scientific data to study the bottlenose dolphin population of the Gulf of Alghero. Discover the stories of some of the most famous dolphins like Suzeo, Taz or Shark Junior.

During snorkelling, you'll have a guide who will take you to discover underwater life. On board, we'll tell you some curiosities about what we have seen. You will never be alone!

Our excursions are inspired by the principles of ecotourism and sustainability:

- Latest generation boat engines reduce fuel consumption and reduce the emission of noise underwater.

- HQWW certification (High Quality Whale Watching) for whale watching operators complying with the Code of Good Conduct. This serves to reduce and minimize the disturbance of cetaceans.

- Environmental education on board.

- By joining Progetto Natura, you can support MareTerra NGO and its scientific research and conservation projects.

What To Expect

This tour is dedicated to the search for dolphins. Thanks to the presence on board of the scientist of MareTerra NGO, our chance of spotting dolphins is 80%, a very high probability for such elusive animals. During the navigation, we'll satisfy all your curiosities about the biology and behaviour of dolphins, along with their conservation status. Once we sighted a group of dolphins, we get closer in accord with the International Code of Conduct we adopt to minimise the risk of any disturbance to dolphins and other wildlife. We will also be able to let you listen to the dolphin sounds recorded by the scientists of MareTerra NGO on board. Thanks to the photo-identification technique, we can recognise dolphins by their dorsal fins and we are able to tell you their names, how old they are and their health status. During the navigation, you will admire one of the most beautiful coasts of Sardinia and the crystalline waters of the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia - Isola Piana. After all these emotions, discover the magnificent underwater world and its inhabitants. Do not have much experience with snorkelling? Our guides will accompany you and will give you guidance in the water. In this way, you can enjoy your safe snorkelling experience.

    We had a wonderful time. Having the excursion paired with the idea of studying/protecting the dolphins is the perfect mix to explore those beautiful creatures. We are with a small group of people and wonderful guides that clearly love what they do and share their love with all tourists! We would give 10 stars! We can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience!!!!

    An experience that was nothing short of exciting. We saw a pair of dolphins. Even the snorkeling, for me as a beginner, was very interesting and educational. Thanks to Fabio, our guide.

    Unfortunately, yesterday we were among the 20% of guests who were not allowed to see dolphins. However, it was an unforgettable experience to be at sea with the crew. Very informative and friendly.

  • Respectful wildlife watching with great snorkeling experience

    Beautiful tour with cool guide. Watching the dolphins is very respectful and without disturbing the animals in their natural habitat. The guide was able to tell us more about the individual animals that were recognized by the dorsal fin. Later, the animals even came very close to the boat by themselves. Snorkeling is another highlight. We could observe many fish and even saw a starfish. Definitely worth a visit, Price also perfectly fine for the experience!
