A pleasant little boat trip - We really enjoyed this little 2-hour tour in a pleasant little boat with a lovely guide. He told us all about the mussel farms and pointed out places of interest along the way. He even surprised us with an impromptu "picnic" when we got off the boat to take a wander around the lighthouse island - he provided crispy traditional Sardinian bread and a bottle of wine! What a lovely man! Very enjoyable trip.

Discovery of the bay of Olbia by Aquabus - Beautiful discovery of the bay of Olbia, sun, calm sea like on a lake.
Thanks to our captain and guide Luciano for all the details communicated (in French, English and Italian of course).
Highlight: landing on Isola della Bocca, where the lighthouse called Faro di Bocca is located, a lighthouse that is now automatic. We were able to walk around this small island and tour the house (in ruins now) where the lighthouse keeper and his family lived.
Panoramic viewpoint 😃
