Dolphin-spotting cruise from Olbia to Figarolo with snorkeling, snacks, and a small-group ride in Sardinia’s Gulf of Olbia.
“This was a wonderful experience and absolutely made my girlfriend's birthday. The guys running the boat trip were constantly scouring the horizon for fins as we travelled, and put the effort in throughout to make sure we had the best chance to see dolphins in the wild, which of course has no guarantee, but in our case we were able to. A stop off with some snorkeling and a tasty snack and drink in a quiet shallow area was wonderful too, and I saw some beautiful fish while snorkeling. The trip also took in some breathtaking views along the cliffs. Cannot recommend this highly enough!”
