What to expect

Take part in a dolphin watching excursion accompanied by a marine biologist.

You'll set sail from Bados towards the island of Figarolo. Here, you can watch bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. With a bit of luck, you might even see them doing acrobatic leaps and playing! Note that these dolphins are wild animals and therefore sightings cannot be guaranteed, nor is it possible to predict in advance where exactly they will be or how many will be sighted.

An expert marine biologist will be with you all the way, giving you information about these amazing animals.

The "Shared tour" and "Private tour" options also include one or two swim stops. A R.I.B. tour around the dramatic cliffs of Capo Figari, Figarolo and Cala Moresca, some of the most beautiful spots along the Sardinian coast, is included with both the half-day options. Information handouts in several languages (Italian, English, French, German and Spanish) will be provided on board for your convenience.

    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.

    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.

Gita di un giorno in Corsica

Così vicine eppure così lontane. La Corsica e la Sardegna sono come due fratelli che si sono trasferiti in paesi diversi e sono separati non solo dal mare ma anche dalla cultura. Questa gita di un giorno alla città di Bonifacio, situata sulla scogliera nel sud della Corsica, è il modo ideale per conoscere la regione più selvaggia della Francia.
