Dolphin-watching experience from Pittulongu with a marine biologist

4.7/5
17 reviews

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.

    Het was echt super. De gids wist er heel veel over en beantwoordde alle vragen. We hebben dolfijnen ook gezien. Het was prachtig. En ook op een andere prachtige plek gezwommen. Hele mooie excursie. Zeker de moeite waard.

    Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr höflich und freundlich. Die Kinder haben Schwimmwesten bekommen und wir fühlten uns die ganze Zeit sicher und wohl auf dem Boot. Die Fahrt war angenehm und wir konnten auch Delfine beobachten. Danach waren wir noch schwimmen und konnten mit den kleinen Fischen um uns rum tauchen und schnorcheln. Zu trinken wurde uns auch angeboten. Für uns war es ein schöner Ausflug, den wir weiterempfehlen können.
