The boat departs for a nearly four-hour trip around Figarolo Island. During the journey, guides provide practical identification aids for marine species. There is an opportunity to observe wild dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) while respecting their natural behavior, as the operator follows a dolphin and whale watching code of conduct. Although dolphin sightings cannot be guaranteed, the chance exceeds 80 percent. Carbonated drinks and snorkeling gear are included for use during the excursion. Sanitation services are not included.
We cross the inland Gulf of Olbia observing the cultivation of mussels and the Lighthouse of the Island of Bocca, and then point the bow towards the Island of Figarolo, about 30 minutes by boat. Once in Figarolo, you can swim in the crystal clear waters with the use of a mask and snorkel available for free. Then we head to Capo Figari, an imposing limestone cliff overlooking the sea, or Capo Ceraso with its enchanting coves. Depending on the wind conditions we will choose another place to stop for a relaxing swim and a small snack. What makes this excursion special is the concrete possibility (more than 80%) to observe the dolphins of the species Tursiops truncatus in the wild, which for many years have frequented this area attracted by the presence of a fish farming facility. On the most fortunate occasions we can see them very close while swimming next to and under the boat. Dolphins are wild animals and we will try to interfere as little as possible with their activities and behaviour, sometimes moving away from the sighting area if there are too many boats at once.
