Dolphin-watching experience from Pittulongu with a marine biologist

4.9/5
12 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), 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.

    Boat trip was excellent. Mila's knowledge was extensive on dolphin behaviours and she shared this with us throughout the trip in a clear way. Captain Riccardo's dolphin- spotting was excellent too and they both were able to find and point out the creatures to us. We would recommend this trip!

    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.
