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.

5.00Unfortunately, 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

5.00Beautiful 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!
They'll run it till the last minute

4.00The guide’s commitment made the dolphins “appear” almost at the end, no matter the closing time, so very well. The whole team of biologists very attentive.
Great experience completely worth it

5.00Great experience, we had luck since we saw a dolphin mama, and her calf swimming around. The weather was a bit cloudy and the sea wasn’t completely calm, but we got snorkel wests and it helped a lot in the waves. During the snorkeling we saw an octopus, a starfish and lot of fishes, after the session on the boat we got many information about the species. There were 2 boats, we went with Fabio who’s a great host and probably he has a superpower that he knows the word “dolphin” in your language even it is a rare one.
Dolphins friendly

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! Small group / only 12 people, the boat is spotlessly clean, no noises, do distractions. The team was super knowledgeable, we learned a lot about sea life, fish, dolphins, how humans disrupt their environment. During out tour we have seen many dolphins and some with babies! Would definitely recommend this wonderful experience!

5.00Among the various boat trips it is definitely the one that left me the most! Watching dolphins swim among themselves is an indescribable emotion. Fabio and his team are very prepared, passionate about the sea, patient and attentive to everyone. Snorkling with them was interesting because in addition to seeing underwater flora and fauna it allowed me to capture a thousand details that I had always ignored! Super nice and super interesting! Good guys and thank you for your passion
A brilliant trip with tonnes of info and stunning sites.

5.00A fantastic tour with great guides! Unfortunately, as wildlife isn’t predictable, we didn’t get to see any dolphins but we learnt a huge amount about the great work being done by Progetto Natura / MareTerra to help learn more about the dolphins in this area. The snorkelling was fantastic in a beautiful spot and again with lots of great info from Fabio about what we were looking at. Highly recommend this trip!
Project very respectful of dolphins and passionate crew dedicated to their mission. Great experience!!

5.00The project has NO defects! The biologists on the boat are well informed and able to involve all age groups, as well as very good at dolphin sighting. This tour is absolutely creature-friendly, unlike most online tours: the crew details all the behaviors to follow to have the least possible impact on the dolphins. In addition to the sighting itself there is a second phase of guided snorkeling, in which various marine organisms are shown, always with great professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the subject. In addition, the passion and dedication that all crew members possess is clearly perceived thanks to the enthusiasm shown by all of them. If you want to see dolphins while in Alghero in a respectful and ethical way, this tour is for you.
