      Great experience with the kids
      We had a very nice moment on the boat with the kids! Francesco explained about the dolphins in Isola du Figarolo and we had the chance to see some of them close from the boat! The views are amazing and the experience is worth it. Thank you Francesco for the great time !

      Boat experience
      What an experience- Antonio was a great guy we wouldn’t have experienced this without him. So kind friendly funny just had a laugh with us. The whole experience was fantastic we were all little scared at first but it was nothing to be worried about. I would 100% recommend this if you are local. Thank you again Antonio you were amazing

      Perfect day out
      The most perfect day out on the sea guided by Francisco. Perfect Snorkeling conditions picked out by our very experienced guide. Snacks and drink provided at the right time. We saw a lot of fish and even an octopus. Suited an 8 year old who is not comfortable swimming in deap waters as she was given a life jacket. Highly recommend this experience

      Great excursion with friendly captain
      Giovanni, our skipper, took our small group of 8 people to 3 different locations for a swim, all stunning, offering us drinks and snacks along the way. I appreciated the genuine friendly hospitality (always open for a chat and provided me with a power bank to recharge my phone after we got back to port) which I really appreciate. Overall great value for money considering everything you get to see and do.

      Highlight of our holiday!
      Highlight of our holiday! Francesco was a great guide and we visited a number of beautiful coves where the colour of the water was incredible. We snorkelled and saw shoals of fish. The water was quite cool in September but still well worth it. Thank you for a great end to our holiday!

      Incredibile boat trip with great snorkelling spots!
      Such a great experience! We visited some amazing beaches and snorkelling sites that we would never have found on our own. Antonio was so lovely, he was a great guide and the snacks he provided were delicious! Would definitely recommend this trip!

      Worth the money
      Great tour guide who made it lots of fun. My friend doesn’t swim well and didn’t wanna snorkel and he did above and beyond to help and include him. Snacks were okay, cold little pizza bites. Wish they had more beverage selections, only had one juice box on board and beer and water. But a gorgeous trip and fun to see the fish and dolphins. Francesco was lovely!

      Nice trip, People like Francesco make all the difference in the world!
      Francesco was our captain and was so very nice! We met some nice people on our boat. Small group is nice. We were the oldest on board. (60s) The snorkeling is nothing like Hawaii but the water is perfectly clear and warm. Nice little pizza bites and offered us a beer but just serve up small amount in a plastic cup. Very basic and causal. Music selection was awesome! We got a little bit of history which we always enjoy. The company might want to give more instruction at least to those who have never snorkeled, if needed of course. At least ask. But they were very responsive to the needs of their guests. Loved it! Come visit us in California Francesco, we be happy to host you for a couple nights!

      Awesome Northern Sardinia boat trip
      This boat trip was amazing! We had about 30 minutes per stop to swim and snorkel with the fish. Our guide was very friendly and informed us about the history of the area. I would highly recommend for a relaxed boat tour!

      Great experience!
      We had a great experience with Antonio who explained everything we saw on the route. We stayed extra long with the dolphins who had a baby with them. The snorkling was amazing, so many fish swimming around you in circles. Very happy we took this tour!

    The tour guide was friendly and reliable. He made a big effort to make sure we had a good time watching the dolphins and snorkelling.The tour was 3 hours but it takes almost half hour to get to figarolo island for the snorkelling/ dolphins so it doesn’t leave much time for snorkelling especially if it’s your first time. I think I may do a longer boat tour next time to make sure I make the most of the day. Would recommend to take a water camera or a waterproof bag for the phone if you wish to take pictures. Overall good value for the money.

    Hi Claudia, we are happy that you were able to live the experience of spotting dolphins in their natural habitat in our company, unfortunately IF IT IS THE FIRST TIME as you wrote the time available for snorkeling is around 20/30 minutes per stop , we took it for granted that you at least knew how to swim or float, also because you signed up for a snorkeling activity, but instead we wasted at least 10 minutes putting on your life jacket and explaining the basics of the mask since you asked us if the snorkel fits into the nose or mouth, another 5 minutes to enter the water because you were afraid of the fish and the cold water (25°), We are really happy that you could have tried the snorkeling experience and that you saw so many dolphins. We really hope to see you again soon after having had some swimming lessons and wish you a good continuation of your holiday.

    Had the most fantastic time! Our host Antonio was brilliant. We saw lots of dolphins and he was able to create a circular wake that the dolphins couldn't resist jumping over. The snorkeling was fantastic. We saw too many cute fish to count including clown and zebra fish. To top it off, Antonio provided us all with drinks and snacks. An unforgettable day!

    The skipper is the real added value of the experience, you can see that he does it with passion and pauses for a long time to make you experience the sight of the dolphins to the full.
    They accompany you from Olbia to Figarolo with an excellent dinghy, then you reach a perfect fish farm to attract dolphins that are very different from those of the aquarium, they are dark and huge, you can see that they are in captivity and it is a good emotion to see them. Then you anchor and do snorkelling and fish you see an infinite and a thousand colors almost like in the tropics. The gem is also the aperitif offered. Our skipper was young and was very kind in making us want to live the experience to the fullest! Recommendation!

    The organization was great, the driver was very nice too. We did see dolphins briefly, but they didn't really show their dorsal fins. And that was only at the fish farm. But unfortunately you can't influence that. Very nice tour, but we don't think the price is justified. There are much cheaper tours with the same route and the same number of people.

    The afternoon was a fine one, you'll have the occasion to swim among groups of fish. The guide is a friendly local guy who will serve you an adequate taste of products (probably local cheese and sausage) with beer. I also bummed his last cigarette and he gladly offered it to me, he's a really fine person, I had a nice chat with him (in italian).

    Unforgettable moment!!! Frecesco, our guide, was able to bring us good humor throughout our excursion. He was very attentive to all our questions. We were able to see the dolphins. My daughters leave our trip with images and memories that will last a very long time. We were also able to swim and see lots of fish in a quiet area. I recommend 100%! Thanks again Francesco and Antonio!!!

    Beautiful day with some great snorkeling. As it was a bit windy and rough we bumped along a bit ( which was lots of fun!). Saw a few dolphins but as it was rougher than usual we didn't see as many as usual (Antonio explained to us).
    Antonio was a great skipper, funny and entertaining, and the addition of some sardinian snacks and iced tea was a welcome surprise.
    Was expensive but well worth the money.

    The dolphin tour was a complete success in every respect. Already at the first attempt Antonio found the dolphins with juveniles who greeted us with small jumps out of the water. Antonio was very nice and you immediately felt comfortable. Drinks, snacks and even gummy bears for the kids were provided. Snorkeling at two spots was also very nice. We also liked Antonio's respectful treatment of the dolphins and his expertise.

    The tour is highly recommended. Thank you for this beautiful experience.

    Great half day trip out with a great host/tour guide Antonio who was very accommodating and a great laugh. He even managed to help arrange out taxi back to Olbia when we were struggling to find anything.

    Highly recommend the trip as we saw a lot of dolphins (although I understand it can be a bit hit and miss) and the snorkelling was also enjoyable - along with a nice local beer onboard!

    What a fantastic complete experience this boat trip was! All the trimmings: boating / dolphins seen! (Lots) / snorkeling between the fish / swimming / tasty snacks and drinks. Perfect. The Guide / skipper Antonio also did perfectly, he is knowledgeable and knew how to tell many short facts along the way. In addition, he provides a joke of this there and makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommended!
